Kate Mclean and friends on the EYF Swim Team

The Emerald Youth Foundation summer swim team needs volunteers throughout their summer season to help with several things: Food after each swim practice on Thursday evenings, food before each swim meet, typically once a week, food for two city-wide swim meets in July the 12th and (25th-27th). The team members also need help with transportation both to and from swim practice at the Ed Cothren Pool off Western Avenue.

 

Their practices are every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM beginning Thursday, May 22nd. We hope to have their food ready for them after each Thursday practice at the picnic area above the pool.

 

Doug and Bryden Banister have been very involved with this group since the beginning and we have several others in our Church body who have helped keep this effort going.

 

Polly Ailor Tullock will coordinate volunteers. If each small group will take a Thursday evening meal that would be a tremendous help and since there are at least 18 small groups in the All Souls body, that would take care of all the Thursday meals until the two city-wide meets in late July.  

 

Please email Polly at pollyatullock@gmail.com to volunteer.   

 

Congrats Graduates! Joe Morelock, Kate Brimer, Sajen Banister (and more!! Let us know!!)

Check out Paul Hassell's beautiful new website through his company, Light Finds.

"How we take photos is frequently discussed. Why we take them is not.

For any real change in the world, the person behind the camera must be affected first. Photography is a wild adventure. It's a journey of personal transformation.

Listen to the collaborative voice of photographers who shoot because it awakens them to the experience of being ALIVE."
