What's your Gym-Story?
Hi everyone!
I just saw a new article on rva.org about the replacement of the gym floor. Wouldn't it be great to be involved in helping replace it? I have so many memories of events in that gym - indoor soccer with other station kids, numerous basketball and volleyball games watched and played, badminton during PE, Jr. Store and Sr. Store days, studie and late studie, and we even experienced church and chapel in the gym!
My favorite (if you can call it that) memory of the gym is the one time I accidently turned off the gym lights when I meant to turn on the field lights. You can't even imagine the terror that I felt as I heard the boys who were playing in there sprint around the corner to punish whatever underclassman who thought it'd be a funny joke. They sounded like a heard of buffalo! Fortunately, they were forgiving and did not beat me up...but I learned my lesson - be VERY careful which light switch you choose!
Here's part of the article, but you can read the whole thing here.
RVA welcomes contributions in any increment: a gift of $157 would purchase an entire box of 48 tiles, $36 would cover one square meter, or $3.30 would buy a single tile. Each tile matters!
We hope you will join us in making this dream a reality. Please make all checks payable to Africa Inland Mission International, designate them for RVA’s Gym Floor project, and mail them to:
Africa Inland Mission
P.O. Box 178
Pearl River, NY 10965
Or visit AIM’s website (www.aimint.org/usa) for electronic giving options. Thanks for your interest in RVA!

Matt & Angela
In reply to Bethany's request to read updates, I've added one. Matt and I are happily serving in Kampala, Uganda. We feel right at home. Ministry has been great. We've developed a youth outreach program called Revolution. You can see some of our youth leaders in the picture below. We rent a youth center for leadership training and youth events. Starting in Feb '08, we will start a youth discipleship program in the high schools. (The picture of Matt and me is from an orphanage in Kampala.)

Hi Everyone!
Hey there, RVA friends! I wanted to show off pictures of my kids and let you know that I check this page often and would LOVE to read updates on each of you and see pictures. An update about me: I am a high school Chemistry teacher here in S. CA most of the time, but I'm taking a semester off to be with my kids. I am loving it! Elliana is 2 1/2 and learning so much! She is a sweet girl and loves to play "Mom" and cook food for me in her kitchen. Marcus is 3 1/2 months and growing and changing so quickly, as babies do. He enjoys being outside and watching his sister run around. Hope you're all doing well - stop by if you're in S. California! ~ Bethany G.
I have a blog, too. www.tonyandbethany.blogspot.com

10-year Reunion Update
The results from the survey are in and are overwhelmingly in favor of July 4th weekend, 2008. The survey also reported a desire to have the reunion somewhere in the Midwest. If there is anyone who would like to host the reunion, let me know. If there are no takers, I would be happy to host it in Minnesota.
All ideas and suggestions are welcome. We'll try to keep it as cost-conscious as possible, or at least have options for sleeping ranging in price so each family can choose how much they'd like to spend. This could mean a place that will allow tenting, cabins, or hotel, etc. I'll research what I can find and post more information as I come across it.
Again, if there is someone with a burning desire to host the reunion, let me know, otherwise I'll go ahead with it.
Leave your comments if you have any-- but mark the July 4th weekend on your calendar now! And bring your families.
It'll be great to see all of you and catch up on our lives.

Mark and Sarah were married June 9th in Kenya. Here are some pictures she sent me, as well as a few from my sister (so jealous that Debbie was able to attend, but I wasn't!). Congratulations Sarah and Mark!
