Proverbs 17:22 says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth bones." I want to thank all of our friends for attending the Hey Earl Roast. God used humor to raise money to help the broken. Thank Yous are due a lot of people, including so many of our officials and friends who believe in the Prison Prevention Ministries.

The real champions are the students in the N-Zone program, students like Ayden who gave his testimony at the roast; just look at his report card.

You can send your gifts to Prison Prevention Ministries, P. O. Box 3026, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37404.  Remember donations to the Hey Earl Roast will be doubled by an anonymous donor.  Thank you in advance for your gifts.

Special pats on the back to Executive Director Joe Smith, Patsy Henry and Kathy Holloway. David Carroll and all the roasters, thank you. Shelia Harding Cannon, thank you for taking pictures to preserve the memories for your longtime friend.
