Phil's going in the lake again!

Since we’re telling - We’re in too. We’re pretty fortunate and we know it. We try to help where we can. 

The missus taught many years in a lower-income school district and has seen first hand kids that depend on school for food.

One that she told me about, that I’ll always remember, was a kid she ran in to outside school. Asked if she was looking forward to summer the kid said no-it just means I’ll be hungry. 

The approach this organization is taking is just right. Engage with folks, figure out what the need is and act. Show some love and don’t be judgmental. 

That’s so much more impactful than free money raining down from above from an anonymous benefactor. 

So, pony up!

Phil I'd like to get this back on track.  Please PM me with a suggested amount and a donation will be forthcoming.  How about some of the rest of you hard cases buck up too.  Poor and hungry is no way to be and If I need to help a bit well, I am fortunate enough to do it and most of you guys are too.  So let's make Phil proud what say?

Yep, let's send Phil for a swim!

There's a rumor you started that the more $$ Phil raises the longer he has to stay in.  Where'd you hear that first Jeff?

As many of you know, CAM (Christian Action Ministries) is the food pantry for Taney and Stone Counties.  We distribute food to almost 6500 residents each month through over 60 outreaches.  And we do it with a shoestring staff of 7 people, half are part time.  Most of the work is done by volunteers.

Here's an interesting statistic - 62% of the people we give food to have at least one job.  Many have 2 and 3 jobs.  Some are retired and on a fixed income.  Some are on disability.  Some are deadbeats and don't deserve free food but that percentage is small.

Here's your chance to help with this ministry, and give back for the cost of running this forum.    I don't care how much you give - but you should give something.

Thank you!

Whenever I fill out the info it shows you, Phil.  But on the confirmation page it changes to Richard Marks.  I'm sure it goes to the same organization,  but want to make sure it goes towards your balance raised.

I'll check on it....  I sure don't want Richard to get credit!

He's a good friend.

Thanks!!!

           Did the same thing to us Phil. I think our receipt said it was for you though. Check yes although it all goes to a good cause it is you, we want over your head in the cool waters you love. 😁

Susie and I are in. All those fish Phil has caught and released will probably be schooled up waiting to return the favor of a bite when he jumps in.
