Spa Day-Over and Above kind of volunteers

One of the amazing things about our Single Mom's Spa Day is our volunteers who work so hard to make it a special days for the moms. I wish I could name every single helper. They work so hard with so much love, and the number increases every year. At the end of the day, after working for 6 hours or more, everyone is exhausted, and saying, "next year, we can..." That blows me away. No one says, "Don't count on me for next year, this is too hard." NO, they are already talking about how we can make it better next year.

Two years ago, at the end of a Spa Day, Cathy Burke, a retired teacher who was new to Cottonwood, a first time helper who had worked with the children came to me and said something like, "The children's area was chaos. We need to minister to the kids while we minister to their moms. They need to have a craft, a story, and some organized games, and I will do it."
That's the kind of "complainer" I like, a person who sees a need and is willing to do something about it.
So, last year Cathy organized the ministry to the children, and she took care of it again this year. Here are a few pictures that show what a great day it was for the kids. 
 

About three years ago, the men of the church decided to get involved, and volunteered to wash the cars for the moms.  See how hard they work on those cars! 

This dear man, Charles Grimsley, checked the oil on every car, and left notes for the mom's if the oil was low. So, next year, we will have oil on hand to add if it's needed. 

We have already had several discussions about how to make Spa Day better next year!
