Quote for the day: "I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free." Michelangelo

Today I got official word that this event would be sponsored by PowerBar. That's great news! Special thanks to my friend, Steve for putting me in contact with the area representative, Michelle, and for Michelle's quick and effective work in making this happen. We are very fortunate to be accepted this late in the process and I'm looking forward to benefiting and telling others about the great products from PowerBar. I am told that the electrolyte mix they have is second to none and we all know how good those PowerBars are!

We are over the $10,000 mark in pledges and contributions for the Coast to Coast ride. There is still time to pledge or contribute to helping San Joaquin Valley Teen Challenge. As a board member it is so gratifying and encouraging to see people contribute to working with people who recognize their struggle and are willing to work with the staff and take the steps to have victory over addiction. Teen Challenge receives no government funding and most of the students have no means to pay tuition. No student who qualifies for our program is ever turned away for lack of funds. It costs us over $2000 per student each month to keep the program going. We currently have about 45 students. This non-denominational faith based program is effective and we need your help.

I put in a more recent picture of me in my new uniform.
