<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2>
<P>
<DIV>Greg, please send this out to the Seekers Class ASAP. Thanks for your help. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Pickens Family, the family that the Mission Building Team built a deck for the Dad Dave, needs our help this Christmas. I emailed Tamera and Dave earlier asking how the Mission Team could be a part of their Christmas. Excepts from Dave's email at the end. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This morning the class voted to spend $500 on the family. Some of the $500 will buy a Wii System, the email will explain, and a small sewing machine for Brittany. I am going to try to order both of them through Amazon tomorrow and have them shipped to their home. If at all possible, we would like to get the remaining items purchased and wrapped by Thursday so we could take them with us Friday. Gail Sink graciously volunteered to shop for items during the day. Is anyone else is willing to go with her and help? I have purchased one bra. I will be out of pocket Tuesday and Wednesday for a business trip. I would be available again about 6:30 Wednesday, i.e. as soon as I get home from the airport. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the email, I am asking Gail to take the lead. Give Gail a call if you are willing to assist until I return. I will touch base with Gail Wednesday night and see where I need to pick up and help. My number at work is 661-4239.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am going to share Dave's email with Randy to see if his part of our team would like to help.</DIV>
