There is a small study group in our church that has named their group "Saved to Share".  They have been involved in raising money to pay for wells to be dug in Mali, Africa.  They have raised enough to dig one new well, repair another, and are working toward paying to dig another.  This is no small contribution.  The fact is, 1/8 of the world still has no access to clean water, and unclean water causes more child deaths world-wide than any other cause including hunger.

So "Saved to Share" threw a spaghetti dinner / hymn-sing fundraiser last weekend.  For a five dollar donation, people could enjoy both a wonderful meal, including brownie sundaes for dessert, and a sing along of classic hymns.  I was asked to be the emcee of the event, and Rose and I did a new juggling routine we created just that afternoon.  We worked very hard for two half hour sessions that day, and at times, it got pretty frustrating.  But we accomplished a lot in that time, including a variety of partner tricks including over-the-head passing.  When we performed this routine at the benefit, we nailed it, including six ball passing right amongst the tables of diners.  What a memorable day for father and daughter.

There was over $500 raised for this newest well, a lot of fun and fellowship, great food, and music.
