Cornerstone Hawks Game!

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Last night, a group of Cornerstone campers and their families attended the Atlanta Hawks game against the Phoenix Suns.  It was such a close game – we were on the edge of our seats!!  The Hawks ended up losing by 5 points, but the game was still a lot of fun.  Everyone was amazed at how LARGE Shaquille O’neal was.  Here are some pictures from last night:

Thank you to the Atlanta Hawks for donating tickets for Camp Hope to use!

interns4tomorrow Update!

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Monday was a great day for the kidz2leaders’ ministry.  We hosted our first interns4tomorrow meeting!  Program Director, Nancy Jakaitis, has been hard at work since she started at the Camp Hope office back in October to develop the interns4tomorrow program.   After eligible students completed an application and performed three interviews at the Camp Hope office, 11 interns were selected.  The 2009 interns are: Kwanza Cole, Alexis Dulaney, Jamil Harris, Brittany Johnson, Trey Ledbetter, Marcus Leverette, Travis Leverette, Allen Mathis, Michael Mathis, Brittney Putnam and Chelsey Robinson.

Monday marked the first of many mandatory meetings for the interns where they will learn business etiquette and get prepared for their summer internships at area businesses.  The interns will also hear from different business individuals at each meeting.

The group visited local restaurant, Ritter’s, to hear from owner and chef, Ritter Jones, on Monday as well.

Please keep these students in your prayers as they prepare for and begin their summer internships!
