caffeine withdrawals…

Today is my day to write a complaining post.   One of the perks of being a the Rec Center whenever I was tired or not feeling well was that I was able to get my caffeine fix and enjoy some pop or coffee.  However, back at the end of last year I started having health problems and my doctor said no caffeine.  It was a huge thing for me to let go of, but for my own health and well-being I gave it up.   After all there were some caffeine free pops I could still enjoy.   However, on my next visit the doctor informed me that with my condition I shouldn’t have any pop as the carbonation was just as bad for me as the caffeine was.  Immediately I began to shake thinking of never tasting my glorious Dr. Pepper or Ale-8 again.

So today I am here at the Rec Center, and it’s pretty warm.   So with the warmth I am getting people nice icy cold Cokes and various other soda pops.  Yet, I can only shake through my caffeine withdrawals and not enjoy any of that delicious carbonated flavor.   I hope I can remain strong, because the water isn’t cutting it right now!!!

golf scramble preparations and sponsorships….

This afternoon I am making my foray out into Lee County to start trying to get local people and businesses to sponsor holes at our annual Golf Scramble on June 16th.  This is the largest fundraiser we do each year at the Rec Center and it greatly helps us as we head into the slower summer months at the Rec.   If you would like to help sponsor a hole for your business at the Rec Center Golf Scramble it it only costs $25 a hole.   With your sponsorship we advertise your business both at the hole you are sponsoring and also at the club house.   We also put all our sponsors in the local newspaper.   The scramble will be on June 16th at the Beattyville Country Club and we would love to have your support as a sponsor or a golfer!  If you can’t do either we will also be serving lunch from noon till 2 pm on a donation basis.   Hope to see you there!!!

slow summer start at the Rec Center…

The summer started early here at the Rec Center in 2012.  With such a light winter weather both schools and our winter bowling leagues were rarely cancelled.  Due to the lack of cancellations both our school system and our bowling leagues finished up at the beginning of May this year.   While students have been rejoicing about being free earlier it has actually caused a bit of a slow down at the Rec Center that we normally don’t experience until later in June and July.

Warm weather and no school means many people are going out of town or are busy doing other things so bowling and working out doesn’t register on their list of priorities which is easy to understand.  However, in order to keep the Rec Center up and going we really need more patrons to come to the Rec Center during the summer months and help us keep things going until school and the winter bowling season start back.

So what can you do to help us.  Well, if you are in the Beattyville area and are looking for something to do come visit us for bowling, games, or our fitness center.  If you are hungry and want to eat out, remember the Rec Center and come get your meal here.  We have a great selection of pizza, sandwiches, and desserts.   Lastly, remember to pray for us through this slow time that financially all our needs will be met  and that people will come in not only to help keep us afloat, but also and most importantly for opportunities to share Christ!

teen lock-in chaperones needed…

This Friday night we will be holding our annual end of the school year teen lock-in at the Rec Center.   We are expecting between 100 to 130 kids to attend.   Currently we are running lower than normal on the number of chaperones that we have for the evening.   If you are college age or older and would like to volunteer to be a chaperone we would lov to have you join us.   This is a great time for you to get to know various teens in our community and build relationships with them that can lead to chances to share the Gospel!  Please let me know asap if you are able to join us!

Also, be praying for me as I will be giving the devotional to the students half way through the night.   This is a great opportunity for us to have a captive audience that includes many teens who don’t attend church.  Pray that I will clearly explain the Gospel for our unsaved students and that at the same time I might be able to challenge our Christian students to be bold in their faith.

Hope to see you at the Lock-IN!!!
