Family Fun Day!
Family Fun Day
On Saturday, Oct. 8 we held our first Family Fun Day at Wesley House. What a great way to meet our neighbors and make new friends. We had almost 300 people with us for free games, food, face painting, pumpkin decorating, a cake walk - and just lots of fun. Read about it here and check out our photo album of the day here. Thanks to everyone who helped make it a success:

Corn Maze / Pumpkin Patch

During the recent fall break from school, IKON Office Solutions in Knoxville brought lunch to our kids and then treated them all to a field trip to Cruze Farms. There, they learned about a working farm, found their way out of a corn maze, went on a hay ride and picked out pumpkins for Halloween! Thank you IKON Office Solutions! Check out the photo album!

 How YOU can help!

Every day, we have almost 50 children at Wesley House after school. We do what any of you do with your kids when they first get home: we give them a snack. We go through a lot of food and juice boxes and our supplies are running low. We need more juice boxes and after school snacks. If you can help,  contact Sharon at 524-5494.

Laugh for a Great Cause!!

The audience will vote and decide who the Host with the Most for 2011 is and the winning performer will have 90% of the ticketing proceeds donated to the charity of their choice!

In addition, we will be donating $25 to each performers charity of choice as our thanks to them for taking part in this event. For the performer who generates the most ticket sales, we will be donating $100 to their charity of choice!
