to SCUBA VBS! We had an offering for a charity in Le Mars called Sleep in Heavenly Peace. There was a
contest between the boys and girls to see who could collect the most money. We are pleased to report
that we collected over $1,000.00 , enough to build 4 beds, supply mattresses, mattress pads, bedding
and pillows for all 4. By the way, the girls collected the most money-making Joe Carpenter the recipient
of the whipped cream pie on the face. A fun time was had by all.
