YOU CAN HELP IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS

Give generouslyGive to help support the Story Express Van

The Story Express Van

104 days ago, the plant where Dodge Vans are made said, “Maybe sooner, but 120 days at the outside.” For those not into industry speak, “at the outside” means “no later than.” For those who barely passed math, that means that in 16 days, Mtn.Valley Motors will call saying, “ A beautiful, white van is here for the Craddock Center.’”

I will take the money you have given, receive the van, and drive it to the Center. Admirers will ooh and aah, and cameras will click. “Back away” I will admonish, “ it isn’t ready yet. Ron Zimbrick and Larry Hansen have to customize it and painters must decorate it. Then the van will be The Story Express.”

“Will the Story Express be dedicated to God and to the children?” you ask. “Oh yes; that will take place in the parking lot of the Kiwanis Building on Saturday, Sept 25, during Appalachian Weekend.” All can admire it, and be proud that they helped pay for it. Amazing, isn’t it?

But a cynic, hardened by a lifetime of disappointments, asks, “You don’t really believe that van will be delivered when they said, do you?”

“Yes, yes I do. Believing and hoping is what I do. I have been doing it all my life. Feel free to join me.”

Give generouslyDonate your old bedspread or curtains

Ceil Golightly of Lily Pond Looms in Blue Ridge is busy creating wondrous soon-to-be heirlooms on her loom.

Do you have an old bedspread or curtains that you’re attached to, don’t use, but can’t give up – or would you like something fresh and new to give new sparkle to a room? If so, contact Ceil at 706/632-3175. Not only will you have a handmade treasure for your home, but the Craddock Center will benefit as well. Ceil is donating 25% of all profits to the Center. We are grateful.

So if you have, any appliances, furniture or housekeeping items that would help a person who has lost everything in a fire begin again, please call Tammy at 706-632-1772.—TLS
