The first order of business was the welcoming of Christine Sparks, who introduced the MMA to a new program being sponsored by the Upton County Attorney. The program deals with "relationship abuse awareness" and concerns itself with helping people spot the signs of an abusive relationship and how to get help if it occurs. Christine will be presenting her story to the McCamey High School students on October 26th.
In other business, the former Frienship Center building is scheduled to be emptied of all contents at the city-wide clean-up day, November 6th. After that, the building will be readied for its next function, the location of the Excell youth ministry!
The next meeting will be on November 9th at noon at Benoit's.
The First UMC is looking for someone who wants to be a lay representative (or alternate) to the MMA - talk with Pastor Charles if you are interested.
