Recent Events:
We held our SEVENTH Annual
Golf Marathon on May 21st at the Sebastian Hills Golf course east of Xenia. We had another perfect day for golf!!!
We only had 25 golfers (our goal was 40) and all played 100 holes or more. A total of $63,209 was pledged to help
support our IHN guests. Numerous prizes were awarded for the most pledge raised, pledges over $2,500, closest to
the pin and longest drive all day. We really appreciate the hard work of all of the players in that this fundraiser
is our largest special fund raising effort of the year. THANKS TO ALL FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK!!!!
Upcoming Events:
We are again in the process of
planning our EIGHTH Annual Golf Marathon for next spring. Keep watch for the announcements for this event and come
join the fun while you raise funds for our great charity, the IHN. We will again hold the Marathon at the Sebastian
Hills Golf Course and it will be on May 18, 2008. Mark your calendars now for a great day of fun, food and fund raising!!!
One and One program:
WILL YOU JOIN US FOR ONE AND ONE?
This fall, as part of our annual
fund raising drive, we are asking you to consider taking the “One-and-One Challenge!” The One-and-One Challenge! is
simply agreeing to donate one hour of support ($42) and one hour of time, each month to IHN for one year. At the end
of the year you will have contributed to one full (12-hour) day’s operation and provided much needed volunteer support.
Perhaps this is a service project for your organization or a church wide challenge between Sunday School departments.
You can just imagine “Seniors versus students”..!!!
IHN is desperately in need of increased
operating funds to continue our mission. We commit to being good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. The One-and-One Challenge! provides
an opportunity for you to continue to help the homeless in Greene County—Are you up to the Challenge!..?
Ways to play....
Mail your $42 on the first of each month - mark your calendar! Next chose how you will support the ministry with your time:
1. Pray for IHN two minutes each day (1 hour per month)
2. Prepare a meal and deliver it during your church hosting week (2-3 hours)
3. Be a church host in the evening (3 hours) or overnight (~12 hours)
4. Shop for items needed at the day center and drop them off at your church during hosting week (1-3 hours).
5. Volunteer for one of our many positions and opportunities by calling the office at (937)372-0705.
When you reach 12 hours you are done
with your commitment and will have sustained IHN for one day of the year! What a blessing you will be to others, and what
a blessing you will receive!
