| 1)
The girls of Third Front are knitting and crocheting scarves that
we plan to sell around campus and at Wal-Mart. |
|||
2)
I have challenged the girls on Crawford 2nd Main; I will match every
$5 dollar donation with $5 of my own. I don’t know how much
has been raised thus far as one of the girls on the hall is collecting
the money. Together we have an opportunity to raise $280. |
|||
3) I didn’t take 20 dollars from Dr. Rader, but I am organizing a raffle to help with the Asbury Fund. I am selling tickets for a drawing to win a $35 gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse with a $15 gift certificate to the movies in Lexington Green. Tickets are $2 for one ticket or $5 for 3 tickets. All proceeds go to the Asbury Relief Fund, and the drawing will be the Friday before Valentines day. What a great way to win a free date for Valentines Day! I will be outside of the cafeteria during lunch during the next two weeks, as well as having people sell them in classes. So keep your wallets handy and be ready to win a free night on the town! The raffle
that I held for Valentines Day made $109. That's more than double
the money I put in…Thanks to all who contributed! |
|||
4) I wrote to two Sunday school classes back home and asked them as a class to match the $20 I had been given. One of the classes decided to take a special offering and then double it from the class budget; they just sent me a check for $152.00. Because I know
that it is hard for some people to contribute financially, I put
a box out in our unit where girls can place name brand clothes that
we can then take to Plato’s Closet. All proceeds from there
will go to the relief fund. Update... |
|||
5)
I’ve been taking two dollar donations for giving hair cuts
on the hall. After I had raised $20 to match Dr. Rader’s,
Dr. Hillis gave $20 to match mine. I plan to organize a concert
with Nazarite vow within the next month or two. |

6)
My project was inspired by the awareness bracelets such as the pink
breast cancer awareness and yellow "livestrong" bracelets
that are very popular these days. Realizing how successful they
are not only as an easy way to get people to give a small gift contribution
but also as a means of spreading awareness, I thought something
similar would be a great project for the tsunami relief fund. The
bracelets I'm selling are homemade from natural hemp and blue macramé
knotted together in a symbolic wave pattern meant to remind wearers
of the tragic wave that literally destroyed a large part of Southeast
Asia. They will also serve to remind wearers to pray for the victims
and those left behind without their loved ones. Most of the bracelets
I've made so far are designed to be tied on permanently ( until
they fall off) but a few are connected by slipping a bead through
a loop and can be taken on and off easily. I am selling them for
suggested $2 donation but as in all cases additional contributions
are accepted. |

7)
I’m not able to remain anonymous, because the campus is already
aware of the ‘60’s concert that Dr. Duk Lee, my husband
and I gave in the cafeteria foyer to help raise funds for the tsunami-affected
region. Also, they’re helping to contribute by buying homemade
chocolate chip cookies in the science building—these are still
for sale by calling x2275--$0.50 per two large cookies (delivery
is possible, too). However, I don’t want to take any credit—God
receives all the glory. We simply “have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not
of us” (II Corinthians 4:7). As an answer to prayer, and by
many love gifts from Asbury College’s students / staff / faculty
(and even a chapel speaker), the total collected so far (Jan. 31)
is $1,232.70. Those who desire to give “matching funds”
for money already raised for the tsunami relief fund may write a
check (for any amount--$5, $10, $20, whatever you feel called to
contribute) payable to Asbury College; please send such checks to
Stu (Stuart) Smith through the College Post Office. My total expenses
to date are $21.24 and about 18 hours of time. God is truly “able
to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we ask or think…to
Him be the glory” (Ephesians 3:20, 21). |

8) I’m
selling whole wheat bread that a 14-year old home schooled girl
in Lexington is making for me. I have my own wheat grinder and bread
machine in my room that I use for myself and was at first thinking
that I would make the bread to sell. As I called around looking
for wheat to buy, I met these people and the girl, Angela Fields,
offered to bake the bread for me since she can make 6 loaves at
a time and has more time on her hands! So, I buy it from them and
then sell it here. I sold 22 loaves Jan. 28 and made $66.00. I am
placing my next order on February 11 for up to 20 loaves (I already
have 18 people on my list). I then will place an order to be delivered
on Feb. 25 for up to 20 loaves. I had really wanted to place orders
once, if not twice, a week, but the Fields can’t commit to
that right now. So, I have considered making it in my machine, which
would not be as much, but still would be better than nothing! I
could use help delivering bread when the orders arrive and making
phone calls. Prayer is always a plus! I guess that I will know if
and how to make it myself. |

9) PIZZA Project
--- by a few Johnson 1st Main (Farmhouse) Roosters |
|||
10) Let me
start by saying that it wasn’t just me. We all had felt challenged,
but when Dr. Rader handed out the bills I had no clue what I could
do with $20 in a month. At Third East hall dinner I mentioned that
we should do something to help out and someone else came up with
this plan to clean Kresge bathrooms. We decided on charging $4 (one
dollar per suite member). We raised $99 in one Saturday all before
noon! I am just glad that Third East pulled together to pull this
off. There were eight of us that cleaned. |
|||
11) I do not
have one of Dr. Rader's $20 bills, but I'm ironing clothes for people
to raise money for the relief fund. As of February 3rd, I have raised
$13.15. |
|||
12) I baked
cookies and rice crispies treats to sell, using the $20 from Dr.
Rader’s challenge. I have already sold all of them and am
looking forward to finding new projects to raise money. So far,
I have made $56.70. |
|||
13) I took
the "twenty dollar challenge" as it has been so aptly
named, and decided to buy chicken wire and flour to make a giant
paper mache piggy bank. I will hopefully "showcase" the
giant metaphor around campus and into Nicholasville and Lexington,
in front of retail and department stores, etc. The project is about
90% finished, just needing to be painted. I have about $3 left of
the budget to go get paint. Anyway, I just saw this e-mail about
the website and wanted to contribute what I have. (So far, I haven't
made a penny, but hope to make a bundle!) I don't care if you use
my name or not, and if you want pictures, I will see what I can
come up with. |
|||
14) The women
of Kresge Second West are hosting a Junior Senior Spa on March 12th,
on the strength of Dr. Rader’s $20 initiative. We are providing
updos, manicures, pedicures, facials, and eyebrow waxing, each for
a small fee. Anyone wanting to sign up for a time slot may do so
at Kresge Front Desk. Update... |
|||
15) $1,000
was raised on Saturday the 12th at the Asbury Men's basketball game
for the Tsunami Relief. Kevin Meredith and Josh Troyer did a lot
of the work. They are two current players. Folks got in free, though
some donated money at the door. A local businessman gave a dollar
for every person that attended. |
|||
16) I am currently
in the process of having t-shirts made. These t-shits will read
"Lucky to be in Kentucky" across the front, (accompanied
w/ the outline of the state). The back will read "Bluegrass,
Basketball and the Bible Asbury College Tsunami Relief". Once
the shirts come in, I plan on selling them during lunch and all
proceeds will go to support the Tsunami Relief effort. |
|||
| 17) I have been
doing Henna Tattoos for a $5 donation per design and, 20 tattoos later,
I have over $100 to donate. Originally, I had not taken the Rader’s
$20 Challenge, but, after giving a tattoo to an individual who had
received this resource, I was provided with someone else’s $20
to purchase more henna powder. Of course, the process of henna designing
is not a common practice, but it is still something interesting enough
that people are inclined to give it a try! So, if you have a way to
inform more people about this opportunity, I thoroughly enjoy providing
this service as a means of multiplying God’s resources. I have
plenty of henna left and a flexible schedule for people to work with!
If you have any questions about Henna Tattoos or anything else, feel
free to send me an e-mail or give me a call! - Felice Stanton |

The residents
of Kenyon House will provide free babysitting for the children of
all staff, faculty, and students on Friday, March 4, from 6pm-midnight.
We will have games, movies, snacks, and fun crafts, and we will
accept free will donations, the proceeds of which will go toward
the tsunami relief fund. Update... |
|||
| With Dr. Rader’s
$20 I am making earrings out of glass beads and selling them. I am
still in the process of selling, and so far I have raised $25. -Leslie Sills |
|||
| I received the
$20.00 from Dr.Rader, and my girl friends and I are all putting our
tithe towards Tsunami relief. Last weekend I went home to Oregon,
and had a coffee and dessert night at my house. It was a great time
to see all my friends and family, and I used it as a fund raiser for
the tsunami as well. That is what I have done so far, and I have other
ideas too! -Lana Iliyn |
|||
| My grandmother
can knit these really cute and fun scarves. The cost for them is just
a couple of dollars to buy the yarn; I bought the yarn for her and
she gave me the scarves to sell at school. I am doing my student teaching,
and I sold two scarves to other teachers within 10 mins. of being
at school! They are going like hot cakes, and I think I'm might have
a big order next week. It's fun and the teachers know it's to help
with the tsunami, so it's going great! -Megan McIlrath |
|||
I have raised
around 50 additional dollars in various donations. I plan to have
a car wash in the coming weeks. |
|||
| There will be
a free concert in the Doddridge-Holland Theatre on Tuesday, March
15th. the show will start at 7:00. Performing Artists will include:

to allow the use of the stage. Come out and support the artists, the
music, and the Tsunami Relief Effort. - Justin Bowsher |
|||
| My neighbor (Matt
Luyk, Luykdog) and I took the money that we got from Dr. Rader and
bought cleaning supplies. We go door to door and ask people if they
need any cleaning done; windows, floors, bathrooms, we will do anything.
Anyway we are making some good money so if anyone needs some cleaning
there are two boys one Third West that would love to get a call. Tegge
