BUTLER CC WINS SNOW COLLEGE!

BUTLER CC----(ELDORADO KANSAS) wins SNOW CC (EPHRIAM, UTAH) in DOUBLE OVERTIME! WHAT A GAME! 2nd year. Syndee that game was for you! She's going to rub it in..... including all the FANS at church and Guys at Clark's work....

2 Christmas Fun Ideas

Friends of mine gave me these ideas:

1-Cookie Run: Inexpensive idea. Make small plates of cookies, knock and run or not.

2-Party Night:

This can be used anytime of the year. Build a basket with party stuff-2 liter of soda, popcorn, $5.00 movie or movie pass etc.

The family that did this would notice someone who was having a difficult time and do this. Each family member was always on the look out for someone to anonymously put a basket on the porch and run. It doesn't take much and encourages everyone to look to serve others.

Please leave me your Christmas ideas of FUN!
