From the Desk of Stentson Carpenter
The month of June is almost over and it is hard to believe that year-end is approaching fast. Blueberries and thornless blackberries are ripe on the bushes and a few of us have already enjoyed some of the berries. (Those in the know tell me these kinds of fruit are very healthy). It is truly a beautiful site to see 650 blueberry and 150 blackberry bushes growing and producing berries. They were plant-ed in late fall of last year and for them to already be producing in early summer, is awesome. A lot of work went into making the be-ginning of something new for Rainbow Omega. The hard work is already proving to be worthwhile because we will have lots of ber-ries for our folks to eat and lots to sale to the public. Make your plans to come visit Rainbow Omega next year for your berry needs. We will offer “U-Pick” or we will pick the berries for you. This is just the beginning! Our Birmingham dinner was a big success. We owe many thanks to Coach Malzahn from Auburn University, our guest speaker. It was definitely Auburn fan night because here in Alabama, football is right next to religion. That is okay, when in its rightful place. I found Coach Malzahn to be very personable, he shared a lot of things that night that people did not know. His wife attended the dinner with him. Auburn University has a great team in Coach Mal-zahn and his wife, Kristi. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Alva Lambert, Mr. Clark Bruner and the staff from the State Health Planning and Development Agency for guiding us with technical assistance in helping secure ten Certifi-cates of Need for our ICF home. Mr. Lambert and his staff were extremely helpful. Summer kicked off about a month ago with youth groups coming to Rainbow Omega. It can’t be said how much we appreciate all the hard work these young people do while they are here visiting from different churches from around Alabama, Tennessee and from as far away as Texas. They do much needed work around our campus that saves us thousands of dollars in labor. Also, the interaction with our residents builds friendships that continue well after they leave. Finally, I would like to thank all of our supporters and I’m honored you have chosen to support Rainbow Omega. I hope and pray that we have been good stewards of the money invested. If you haven’t done so, I encourage you to visit our campus and see all the smiling faces we serve on a daily basis. May God bless you! Sincerely,
Pat Wright
