Packaging is March 24, 2010 at the Paton-Churdan Community School Building
What can 13 cents buy? Not too much these days, but it will buy a meal to help fight hunger across the world. Kids Against Hunger is an ecumenical opportunity for Middle School and High School students to make a difference side by side with a little sweat equity. The mission of Kids Against Hunger, a humanitarian food-aid organization, is to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and to feed starving children throughout the world. Last year 71,280 meals were packaged at a cost of around $9800. Most of the food went to Honduras and some went to Haiti. Now, more than ever, food is needed. For 2010, our goal is to package 75,000 meals at a cost of $10,250. The packaging will take place on March 24th at the school in Churdan. Donations can be sent to St. Joseph’s Parish Center, c/o Shannon Duffy, 501 N Locust, Jefferson IA 50129. Please make checks payable to St. Joseph’s with Kids Against Hunger (KAH) noted in the memo. With questions, contact Wendy Pittman at 386-2514 or w2pittman@netins.net
RAM POWER Wrestling Team Gets Tough
Jefferson Park and Rec Wrestling Club, Ram Power is seeing strong numbers in wrestling for 2010. Todd Hansen, of Jefferson and director for the youth wrestling program continues to see his number of wrestlers grow.
The Jefferson Tournament was a great success. There were over 150 wrestlers that participated with 50+ of those coming from Greene County. This was a group that included youth from PK – 8th grade. The RAM POWER team, sponsored by Power Lift, won the team title by one point.
Hansen says, “What we are continuing to strive toward for the youth program is improvement each week, sportsmanship, and confidence. We have seen a lot of improvement throughout the year.” There have been several wrestlers from the program that have participated in tournaments in the area such as Boone, Carroll, Odebolt, Harcourt, Greenfield, Boxholm, Winterset, Coon Rapids, Harlan, and Fort Dodge.
RAM POWER also held their youth wrestling night prior to the high school JV/Varsity wrestling meet on Thursday, January 28.
RAM POWER plans to get as many kids to tournaments as they can. The only way they will get better is to wrestle live in a tournament. “We have had our challenges with getting practice put together also this winter due to all of the weather cancellations,” says Hansen.
