Burger Bash 2010 - WooHOO!

Pictures on the way...

Saturday night was our first big event for fall kick-off 2010, and what a great night it was. We met about 150 UNO students and fed them tons of burgers and hotdogs. In all of this, our students and staff were working the crowd, learning names and stories, creating new relationships and connecting with students from all over the world in meaningful and lasting ways. I had the privilege of making new friends with students from all over Louisiana, as well as Guatemala, China and New Jersey.

We had four amazing volunteers who helped make this possible - John and Eileen Ryan (long time friends, and members of the Chi Alpha New Orleans Advisory Board), and two great guys from New Orleans Teen Challenge. These four did almost all of the cooking and serving, so our students were totally free to be out and about among their peers. Instead of Chi Alpha students serving behind a table, they were able to shake hands and play games and lay the foundation for relationships that will bear much fruit for the Father's glory.

Thank you to our supporters and to our volunteers!
