Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Corn Hole Tournament fundraiser!
Katie and I were both overwhelmed Saturday by the community of support that surrounded us.  We had a great time and we raised over $2,000 in cash alone!
The Talsma recliner was given away to Dan McAlary who promptly donated it back to be auctioned off!  We were amazed by his generosity and were able to raise more money by holding a silent auction for the chair!  (God multiplied the blessings!)
Dan and his partner Brian DeRoo were ringers and took 2nd place for the night along with their friends who took first place.  Two of my sophomore students formed a team and took 3rd place.  I played with Rob Bosma and was out by facing Dan and Brian twice.
We are grateful for our small group for covering the costs of the night.  We are grateful for all of the student volunteers who made the evening possible and grateful for the use of Hudsonville Christian Middle School's building.
Signing up for Sea to Sea was a leap of faith for Katie and I and we are so humbled and honored to be supported so graciously by our community!  Thanks for all that we have done so far.
