Crash-A-Rama

A few weeks ago, my friends and I made our way to Bithlo, FL which is just east of Orlando. There's not much happening in Bithlo...except Crash-A-Rama! Crash-A-Rama is the red-neck's version of Nascar. It's filled with crazy races and more importantly, crashes! Watch the video's and check out the pictures below.




Crash-A-Rama is famous for the School Bus Figure 8 race. It's basically self explanatory...people race school buses on a figure 8 course. As you can imagine, the middle of the course is the epicenter for crashes. The school buses are cleaned out and painted with wild designs. It's an event unlike any other I've been to.

Minneapolis, MN in June


In June I went up to Minneapolis, MN to meet with two other Regional Finance Professionals—Shari from the Upper Midwest and John from the Great Lakes.

The three of us spent 2 days together working on a national project related to our summer projects. Every year we send thousands of staff and students all over the world to share the love of Christ with others. These summer projects are our most effective ministry strategy that also results in millions of dollars of financial activity.

This summer we are working on developing online financial training modules and an effective training conference to help our staff manage this financial activity with ease.

I had fun exploring the city of Minneapolis with two friends.
