Short trip down the mountain becomes a blessing

What started as a normal day at the office this past Wednesday turned in to a great opportunity and blessing for us here at Skyline! Wendy, Lindsey, and I drove down the mountain to Trion Elementary School in Trion Georgia to donate some towels, clothes, shoes etc. to the flood victims. What we found there was a need for man power, organization, and over 120 families in need. These families had lost everything in the floods that hit Monday and some children had even come to school that morning in wet socks and shoes. What a blessing it was to be able to stay there and help the relief effort by sorting, organizing and handing out the relief supplies. While there, we ran into Mrs. Carole Pickle (wife of Pickle-king of the ropes course) who teaches at the school. She commented that this small Georgia town has been devastated by the recent flood. If you would like to reach out and help this community, there is now a Trion City Flood Relief Fund set up taking monetary donations. Call the school at (706) 734-2991 if you are interested in helping out. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those who were affected by the floods, especially those hardest hit in North Georgia and the Atlanta area.
