DancesDances BenefitBenefit CharitiesCharitiesLocal Businesses NearNear Sponsor Hurricaneandand FarFar Benefit BY BETTY THAYER Anyone seeing the news knows of the destruction Hurricane Katrina wreaked on the Gulf Coast. Many of us have family and friends impacted by this storm. All of us have felt a need to help. Radio station WRZN 720 AM and M&S Bank co-sponsored a dance on Sept. 17 to raise Amoney for the relief efforts. All monies collected will be going to the American Red Cross. When WRZN and M&S Bank contacted local businesses to help in this effort, On Top of the World Communities provided the location and many businesses donated the snacks. Don Bruce, the DJ at WRZN, provided the music. A $5 per person donation to the Red Cross was the admission to the dance. About 220 people attended the benefit dance, which raised approximately $1,823 for hurricane relief. Don Bruce wanted to bring the music they play at WRZN to those attending as a way to say thanks for their donation. The music, reminiscent of yesteryear, had everyone out on the floor. This was Pat and Don Hood’s second contribution to the hurricane relief fund and they felt that every little bit helps. Janet Abrahamson wanted to do her part to help the victims. Diann DeBari’s daughter lives in Ocean Springs, Miss., and was very lucky so Diann came to help others less fortunate. Sandy and Don Marten love to dance and this was for a good cause. Grace Raymond loves the music and felt this was a wonderful way to help the relief effort. Doug and Sandra Ensley lived in Mississippi and Doug worked in New Orleans and has many friends there. It was heart wrenching for them to see so many familiar things destroyed. They came to do their part in helping those who need so much. Caroline and Merrill Smith love to dance and had a wonderful afternoon while at the same time sup- porting this fundraising effort. No event held at On Top of the World would be a success without our own group Photo by Larry Resnick of volunteers. The volunteers donated to the cause and then worked the dance.

We hope that you will join together with your neighbors in donating canned foods and toiletries. Many of us here at On Top of the World demonstrated profound compassion and generosity in response to Hurricane Katrina. When Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, you stepped forward to help those who were in desperate need. Your help is once again needed. Interfaith Emergency Services raises money and collects supplies to help feed hundreds of hungry elementary school children with their Backpack program. This successful program feeds children who would normally go hungry during & Crafts Tuesday weekends and non-school days. Interfaith hopes to receive: diapers, toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste, soap), canned meats and jellies, and snack foods (pudding cups, apple sauce, juice boxes, cereal, macaroni and cheese, raisins). Collection sites will be set up around the community Nov. 8 through Dec. 9 for you to drop off supplies that you can share. Locations will be announced. Photos by Lynn P.

I’m sure it’s obvious to everyone, but in case it’s not — because of the horrific effects of Hurricane Katrina, our trip to Biloxi has been canceled. It will probably be at least two years before any casino is back in business there. Our chicken luncheon was another success. A big thank you to Publix for another job well done. Thanks also goes out to everyone who helped in the serving and cleaning up. A big round of applause to Anne and Marie for really doing all of the hard work, AGAIN, which helped make the day the success it was. Our next poker/blackjack day is on Fri- day, Oct. 21, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Arbor Conference Center. This would be a good time to renew your membership. If you’re a new resident here and would like to join our club or just see what it’s like, come up on the 21st and see our godfather of memberships, “Don” Robert Tarpley.
