June Thackston and cardboard boat races!

Since Mrs. June Thackston was in charge of rounding up contestants for the cardboard boat race at Chimney Cove on Memorial Day weekend, I have (kinda) taken on that responsibility for her (since her car accident). If you know of someone who comes to the lake for recreation and would be interested in doing this, please feel free to forward this info. Sooo....

CALLING ALL RACERS!!!!!
We need 8 teams of two to three people to race cardboard boats in beautiful Lake Wedowee on Memorial Day weekend in front of Chimney Cove (very convenient to town)! All of the cardboard is supplied at Nortons Flooring, the entrance fees have been paid, and there is money in an account at Chimney Cove to pay for additional supplies. All you have to do is go pick things up, turn your receipt in to Jim Barton at Chimney Cove (within reason... sealer, tape, etc) and decorate your boat! The instructions for boat building are on the Chimney Cove website at www.chimney-cove.com. Just imagine... you proclaiming to the world -well, ok wedowee- what your cause is (through your decorations on your boat!).
Do you think you could win? Do you think you'll even float? The best part...there are trophies, and everything is being videoed and will be put on youtube... you can then put it on your myspace, facebook, etc... Don't you want to be famous?!?!?! Contact me through email, or Jim Barton at Chimney Cove to sign up!!!! Free and all the fun you can stand, how much better can it get! Are ya chicken? =]

Speaking of June Thackston... I received a email update from Patt High, it reads as follows:
Thought I'd let u know how June is doing...in a word....GREAT
I stayed with June from Tuesday to Wednesday afternoon, and gave Will a break
so he could catch up his affairs and hopefully a good night's rest. He is still hurting too,
but they can't help his ouchies (collarbone and rib fractures, and aching back);
only time can do that. He won't take time to go to the chiropractor cuz he wants to stay
near June.
June got moved to the UAB Spain Wallace spinal rehab unit on Tuesday,
I forget which room; but she's not talking on the phone yet. She is an excellent
patient and tries very hard. Of course the halo makes it difficult to get comfortable
on a bed, and the surgery on her lower back added to that challenge.
Her therapy started ystd. with them testing her skills; She's walking 40' now
with a walker, can brush her teeth, have assistance to the toilet, and mostly dress herself.
I'm amazed she can put on shoes and socks, especially. The goal is to lower her pain
meds gradually and meet a balance so she can do 4 hours of rehab a day and rest well
at night.
She is eager to work hard so she can go home with a degree of independence.
Healing is so much better in ur own home. No word yet on when she will be home,
but I'm guessing this weekend.
Her faith is strong and she says thanks for all the prayers that continue to support her
as she recovers.
PS: if you see her with a patch on one eye; her double vision should get better over time.
But meanwhile the patch helps her keep her gait balanced so she can walk and rehab better.

Hope your day is great!
