G.O. Derby! (click on image for larger view)

We have a great opportunity to raise funds for G.O. Ministries state side this year. This is an invitation to help us at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, KY (We know that not all of you are from Louisville but are close; if you should decide to help we will take care of your lodging (because ideally we need you for at least 2 days and possibly 3). We already have some people coming from Lexington, Nashville, and Indiana.) Here are the details:

"The Game" is the company that produces all of the NCAA sports fan gear, jerseys, etc. They are 1 year into a 5 year contract with Churchill Downs for providing all of their souvenirs during The Oaks and Derby. The Game is partnering with G.O. by offering us $20,000+ if we can staff their souvenir booths on May 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th. We’re up to the challenge and would like you to help us by volunteering and getting the word out! We are hoping that this relationship (as it grows) will help us to become one of the supported charities of "The Game" annually. Please consider helping us out.

We need 25 people that can work all three days, May 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th. In addition to that we need at least 60 more that can work the 4^th and the 5^th. We need people that can work both days. We will not be able to split a day shift. At the very least we will need a 12 hour commitment. If you know someone who wants to help but can only commit to one day we can use them but we really NEED people who can do both if possible. It will earn the ministry $20,000+ and help move us closer to being on "The Game’s" list of supported charitable organizations.

Here are the hours:

May 4 (Oaks day) 7:30a.m-7:30pm

May 5 (Derby day) 7:30a.m-7:30pm

Please consider sharing this information with your small groups, Bible Studies, or Sunday School Classes. It will be a great opportunity for fellowship.

If you would like to help please send an email to mailto:jeff.rogers@go-ministries.orgwith the days you are committing to. Also, let Jeff know if you’re coming from out of town so we can further discuss housing arrangements while you’re here. Please include your phone number and physical address.

If you would like to recruit a team (from your church, school, Bible study, etc.) to go with you (we recommend it!) let me know and I will forward you fliers, etc.

Please confirm with Jeff by Monday, February 19^th.
