Johns River Valley Camp Luncheon

A huge bouquet of thanks goes to Betty Barr for arranging our Baked Potato and Salad luncheon. She did a great job planning and the luncheon was very successful. We raised about $700 for our Johns River Campers! Betty received lots of help from Mike Price, who helped get food ready, furnished food, and helped with cleaning. Heidi Hutcheson, Belinda Yates, and Alice Gray also helped out with getting ready and cleaning up. We had many young hosts and hostesses who helped with cutting veggies, setting tables, serving drinks, and cleaning. They were: Mary Lloyd and Annabell Callicutt, Ally Coppley, Kalyssa Hutchens, Haylee Hutchinson, Ashley and Sarah Johnson and their friend Brenna, Ava and Jia Miller, and Claire and Griff Smith. I would also like to thank the ladies in Women’s Life Fellowship for furnishing the desserts and tea and the moms: Beth and Kivi, the “nanas”: Paula and Mary Jo, and the dad, Jeff who came to help on Saturday. Kids’ Club with Alice and James made the Earth Day table decorations and also the thank you notes that were on the table. We appreciate the people who stayed for lunch and donated generously to help our youth.
