Hey Ted,
I just wanted to let you know about a terrible accident that happened to a 1994 Graduate of CHS, Russell Wright's little boy, Aidan.
About a month ago, 2 year old Aidan nearly drowned and is still in the hospital in North Carolina slowly recovering. The entire story as well as updates from Russell and his wife Erin can be found at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/aidanwright
Thanks, Kim Thompson (3-17-2008)

Injured Troops in Iraq Need Help
(A Request By Julie Dermody)

When soldiers are wounded in Iraq , they are taken to the hospital where their clothing is removed and they are given a hospital gown. (The kind that is slit up the backside) The trek to the hospital does not include stopping and getting an extra set of clothing ~ so our Heroes are left standing around with their bare bottoms playing peek-a-boo with every step they take.
You know how demeaning hospital gowns can be ~ Remember walking down a crowed hallway, feeling a cold draft up your backside? Then remembering...oops the world is able to see my derrière? Our brave men and women deserve better. With your help, we can give them a little dignity as they recover from injuries sustained in IRAQ .
Our goal is to collect 5,000 sleep pants and t-shirts. We will package a set in 2 gallon sealable bags with a card wishing them rapid recovery and letting them know since they've got our backs its time for us to step up and cover theirs!
Be Part of THE Team

jjdermody03@sbcglobal.net
or call 918-232-3796.

THE GOAL: we want to accomplish this by March 31, 2008
How can you help? Organize a pajama party where people can drop off t-shirts and sleep pants and stay and package them or have others willing to do the packing. This is going to be fun and it is a great opportunity for groups to work together.
Please Note

	"Jersey" Was Actually "Sally"
	A great story....we found the owner of "Jersey" who we have had at WWAH since Feb 11th. Her owner lives in OKC and was thrilled to get his dog back Saturday March 15, 2008. Jersey's real name is Sally.If we had not been a no kill facility, his dog would not have been alive for him to find. -- Susan www.cvilleok.com/AnimalShelter
