Jesse Lee Appalachia Service Project's 2014 Rally

Teens and adults
interested in participating in the 2014 Appalachia Service Project should plan
to attend one of two upcoming kick-off rallies at Jesse Lee Memorial United
Methodist Church.

The rallies will be
held on Thurs., March 6 and Tues., March 11 at the church, 207 Main St.  You only need to attend one. Both will
last from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in Martin Hall, in the lower level of the church’s
main sanctuary building.

ASP is a national
Christian volunteer organization that sends volunteers on weeklong mission
trips to make homes “warmer, safer and drier” in West Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Since ASP’s founding in 1969, more than
300,000 volunteers from across the nation have worked on some 15,000 homes.

This is Jesse Lee
ASP’s 31st year. During the spirited March 6th and 11th rallies,
details will be presented about participating in this year’s trip, set for June
28-July 6. Sign-up sheets will be available for the 2014 training sessions and
fund-raising car washes.

Appalachia Service
Project is open to anyone who has completed their freshman year of high school.
Adults are encouraged to volunteer – both those who have teens coming along and
those who don’t. You don’t have to be a member of Jesse Lee or any church, you
don’t have to live in Ridgefield, and you don’t need to be an expert with a
hammer to volunteer. Basic construction skills and safety rules are taught
prior to going on ASP.

You don’t have to
pre-register to attend a rally, and you’re not obligated to go on the mission
trip by attending a rally.

Parents of new youth
can attend one of the rallies and get their questions answered in an
informational session that will be held separately.
