SMNW Coalition 'The Big Event"







I had the pleasure of attending the SMNW Coalition "Big Event" on Friday night at the Lake Quivira Sailing Dock. Yes, it rained a lot, and we got pretty wet. But the kids had a great time. What's even better is that despite the bad weather, they raised $1000 for schools in Uganda! The guard working at Lake Quivira even donated. That is such a blessing! The kids worked really hard to plan and host the event. They had a lot of volunteers as well as several bands. It gives me hope for our future when I see high school kids involved in things so much bigger than themselves! An interesting tidbit--they ran out of bottles of water long before they ran out of soda. That also tells me that kids are drinking healthier these days. Yeah!
