A note from Charlton
Campbell’s granddaughter:
Hello
–
As always, let me begin with a huge THANK YOU for everything
you have done to help get my Grandfather to and from dialysis. Without
your help, I do not know how we would be able to do it.
Having said that, I am again asking for help in November to
get him to and from dialysis. If you have time and would like to help,
please log on and sign up for times that are convenient for you. I have
included the login information below. If you have already signed up in November,
thank you so much for your help.
To access Charlton Campbell's personal CareCalendar site,
visit http://www.CareCalendar.org/logon/8974
and enter the following
information in the appropriate spaces:
CALENDAR ID : 8974
SECURITY CODE : 1127
Please note that the week of
Thanksgiving his schedule is slightly changed. The dates are right and I believe
the times are right. If they change, and you are signed up, I will let you
know to make sure that it is still convenient for you.
Also, if you know of someone
who would like to help but does not have an email address and/or internet
access, they can call me at 919-412-8603 and I can work with them to see if
there are any slots open that would be convenient to them.
Health
wise, Granddaddy has had a good month. He will need to have surgery soon
to have a cataract removed. I am not certain of the date of that yet.
Thank you again for everything you have done to
help. I really appreciate it.
Have
a great day.

ANH GIBBS: TRULY THE HANDS AND FEET OF
JESUS
September 2009
Hello Families and Friends,
For a long time I've thought about doing a long-distance walk to benefit the
breast cancer cause, and this is the year when I finally say "NO MORE
EXCUSES!" Breast cancer has become too widespread and I can no longer
continue to sit back without taking action! I hope you'll join and support
me in the fight.
On the weekend of October 24 and 25, 2009, I'll walk as one with a
community of thousands in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Charlotte North
Carolina. I chose to walk the 40 miles Avon Walk event because I'm so
impressed that the Avon Foundation addresses the whole picture: medical
research into the possible causes, prevention, treatment, and cure of breast
cancer; clinical care for breast cancer patients; support services for patients
and their families; educational seminars; and early detection programs. To learn
more, please visit avonfoundation.org.
It's easy for you to join me – no walking involved! Your tax-deductible
donation will not only help me reach (and hopefully exceed!) my $1800
fundraising goal, It will also move us closer to the end of breast cancer.
To make a donation, just visit my fundraising page at http://www.avonwalk.org/goto/anh_gibbs.
Thank you so much for supporting my commitment.
Best regards,
Anh
P. S.
Anh doesn’t just walk the walk (Avon Walk that is), she also talks the
talk and cooks the food! In other words, her fundraising activities for good causes
extend beyond the Avon Walk detailed above.
On
three other Saturdays in October – the 10th, 17th, and
31st, Anh will be teaching introductory
computer classes (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) at Amity.
On Saturday, November 7 she will be teaching “Basic
Chinese Cooking.” Proceeds
from all classes will support the “Water
for Life” mission trip that several Amity congregants are taking to the
Dominican Republic during the week of Thanksgiving.
Go to www.amityumc.org to learn more about those opportunities. Return
