Viva!
~ VBS 2006 ~

      Hopefully YOU were able to be part of this year's Vacation Bible School Program, Fiesta!  Again this year we averaged approx. 60 children per night and a total of 77 registered throughout the week.  Our numbers were approximately the same as last year, praise God!

      I'm hoping not to miss names as I try to thank everyone for a job well done! (not everyone signs the volunteer sheet) If I miss your name, I apologize.

      First I thank the Lord for being with us every step of the way.  His hand was on everything we did, from the first planning session to the VBS Sunday Service on Father's Day.  Let me begin with our teachers and key staff:

Ø      Shelley Grubbs and family did an excellent job transforming our church into the little place in Mexico that hosted our VBS this year.  Everything was beautiful.

Ø      Our Hot Bible Adventure leaders were Randy Pedder and Colleen Doheny. 

Ø      In the Sillie Chilies Pre-School class we had Sue (director) and Rich Nebinski, Grant and Amy Funk, Gina Weyant, Connie Webber and some of the pre-school parents.

Ø      Our Sing and Play Ole` and Fiesta Finale crews consisted of Mandy Grubbs, Amy Rabo, Mike Tusay, Matt Common, and Patti Nicolette.

Ø      Teaching in Chadder's Drive-In Theater was Ed Nicolette.

Ø      Cactus Craft Leaders were Darla and Wendi Grant.

Ø      Kitchen Coordinators for Maraca Munchies were Wendy Tusay and Evelyn Weyant.

Ø      Hope Beck was in charge of our Grande games with help from Colleen Fonzo and Harriett Paden.

Ø      Prayer warriors everywhere led by Rev. and Janet Lloyd.

Ø      Registration was handled by Virginia Nicolette, Becky Mayhue, and Bonnie Conway.

Ø      Photographs and publicity were handled by Nancy Love, Ron Rabo, and Mike Love.

Ø      Blanket tying instructors were Marge Myers and Kathy Ward.

Ø      Crew Leaders were D.J. Comer, Keziah Meyers, Kylie Murray, Shawyn Murray, Jessica Worek, Rhiannon Parry, Brittany Grubbs, Lori Cipra, Ashley Bowen, and Gregg Hultberg.

      Additional volunteers were Jodi Murray, Maryanne and Alissa Miholovich, Harry Grubbs, Lynn Campbell, Jane Peters, Ruth Terhorst, Nancy Gillespie, Ruthie Kiesel, Wendy Comer, and everyone who donated money, food and craft items, and decorations. Special thanks to Colleen Fonzo and Jacobs Ladder in downtown Irwin.
