COMMUNITY SERVICE

When a teammate's mother passed away from cancer, we organized a team to join the Fenton area's Relay For Life. This is a 24 hour event where money is raised for the National Cancer Society. By raising more than $900 we not only honored our teammate's mother, we also honored many of our community's cancer survivors and hope-to-be survivors.

We encourage all teams to participate in their regional Relay for Life.  We had a tremendous amount of fun. Listening to Joe sing Karaoke at 2:00 a.m. was a big highlight of the day.  Trivia games, side walk chalk drawings and several members *cough cough Ryan* being thrown into jail is also memorable.

Like all papers around the world, our local paper contains a "hotline". When several people in our community complained about US 23 being covered in debris and litter, we sprang into action. Over the long summer weekend we picked up over 100 bags of garbage. By adopting this portion of the highway and planning on keeping it clean, we have a ongoing community services  for years to come.

Lego League! How much fun is that? It is hard for us to turn away kids who want to learn and have fun. Even though the limit is ten kids, we have twenty overly excited-sugar-hyped-up-eager kids on our Lego League Team. We taught them programming, teamwork, timelines, science, math and (of course) the wonderful opportunity to meet and make a new friend.

 We also want the world to know about Josh! Josh is seventeen and is a member of our community. When he was just a few months old he became very ill. As a result of that illness Josh became a triple amputee.  After recently reading about the plight of Josh and his home in our newspaper we did our best to help them out. One of Josh's biggest problems was that his wheelchair would not fit through his bedroom door. He hasn't slept in his bed for many years. Josh's house is also filled with black mold causing the floor to start  caving in under the weight of his chair. We had to do something! So we organized a benefit called "Kids Helping Kids".  We organized our own version of Extreme Home Makeover and succeeded in having Josh built a new home.

* We want to thank Sky Way Wheels for helping Josh get new wheels for his wheelchair. Sky Way Wheels rocks!
