HITMEN - HELP US MOVE JERRY & JOELDA HOPE

Good afternoon HITMEN,

Some of our very own, Jerry & Joelda Hope, are moving on Wednesday, April 1^st, and we want to be there to help.  If you are off for the day or otherwise have time to help out, please come out and help us move the Hope’s as the move from their old house in Maumelle, to a new home also here in Maumelle.  They are hoping to garner the support of 5 or 6 HITMEN to help the move get finished as quickly as possible and designate more MAFIA Captains through our HITS outreach ministry.  Of course they will be packed and household appliance will need to be moved.  Please contact me at 501/944-0562, or via e-mail at lribich@asigllc.com, for Jerry & Joelda’s contact info if you are interested in helping.

Great Blessing to Share & a HITS Opportunity for All

Good afternoon HITMEN:

I have been advised that Tim & Janie Culwell are purchasing their first home together, something they weren’t sure was going to happen in the current economic condition.  They are extremely relieved and are confident that this blessing is truly a God thing.  To that end, a HITS request has been submitted from one of our fellow Mafioso’s and we would love to Tim & Janie by getting a team of 4 or 5 HITMEN together to help them move on Saturday March 28^th, from their apartment in Maumelle to their new home at 112 East Palm St. in Lonoke.

They already have a large box truck available and a dolly; and, when speaking with them today, they have indicated that they will have all their items box packed in advance so it should go really quickly.  Also, please note that they report that there are no major appliances to move either.  If you are Spirit led to support this couple and help build them up in Christ as they transition into their new home, please contact me at 501/944-0562, via email at lribich@asigllc.com, or leave a message on the blog website.  Don’t forget, it only takes participation in one HITS outreach to garner a prized MAFIA HITS tee-shirt!  Thanks to all you HITMEN for all you do.

ATTENTION HITMEN: CALLING ALL CONTRACTORS FOR A HITS OPPORTUNITY

Good morning HITMEN:

I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits.  I am sending out a request to all of you HITMEN as I am searching for someone with residential repair/remodeling/contractor experience.  Specifically, I am looking for one of you with these skills to join me this Saturday afternoon for about an hour and help me to evaluate the repairs and most importantly create a bill of materials to support some home repairs for an elderly woman from North Little Rock.  One of our own has submitted a HITS request to me and by the grace of God, the E.C. Barton & Company has generously agreed to supply (donate) the materials needed to complete the job – now we just need to let them know what we will need to do the work.

If you are interested and available, please contact me at your earliest convenience and let me know your experience and availability to survey this job with me.  Alternately, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, in either case you may reach me at (501) 771-9388 or via email at lribich@asigllc.com.

2009 MAFIA Olympics Round-up!

Greetings all Hitmen,

What a night we all had at the old campus last evening.  The NLC Greater Little Rock MAFIA held its 2^nd Annual MAFIA Olympics – and we had a great time.  As John Craft was not able to be with us due to prior obligations, the event was MC’d by our very own Bobby Wilson.  The competition was spirited and closer in the end than we expected early on in the evening.

The Bagg-O completion, Basketball Shoot-Out and Precision Putt-Off rounded out the team skill events. And while they proved pretty interesting to watch, nothing worked the guys into a greater frenzy than the Human Tractor Pull (aka: Bungie Run)!  The competition was pretty fierce from the beginning with some come from behind shows late in the games but in the end it proved to be the team with the greatest stamina and will to win that prevailed under the grueling physical, emotional and culinary stresses of the Speed Hot Dog Eating Contest!

It was this sports fans greatest pleasure to be involved with the 2009 MAFIA Olympics.  Winning this year’s event with a composite score of 98.0 was team,  Rickey “The Sausage” Bezet.  Team Bezet was led by MAFIA Captain Matt Rush, who was last year’s Grand Champion in the 2008 MAFIA Bagg-O Tourney.  Rounding out Team Bezet were Co-Captain Elliott Carr Rodney Lehman, Christian Slais, Rodney Blackwell and Jason Washam.  One point that should be noted, Team Bezet’s stellar performance was hampered by their dismal show in the Precision Putt-Off, will the real Rick Bezet please stand up!  All the teams did great and had a great time.  The Remaining Teams faired as follows:

2nd Place: 87.85	Team: Mel “Guido” Amrine
Co-Capt	Ryan Ray
Co-Capt	Jason Cathey
Player 1	Justin Parks
Player 2	Steve Richeson
Player 3	Keith Gross
Player 4	Dave Hughes

 

3rd Place: 78.67	Team: Tye “The Knot” Heffner
Co-Capt	Rolland Pennington
Co-Capt	Aaron Henson
Player 1	Chad Meyer
Player 2	Tim Gross
Player 3	Bret Brownderville
Player 4	Andy Garber

 

4th Place: 71.67	Team: Bobby “Toes” Hamilton
Co-Capt	Bruce Waters
Co-Capt	Craig Brzezinski
Player 1	Corey Dunn
Player 2	Dennis Gantzler
Player 3	Darin Plate
Player 4	Opie

 

5th Place: 54.3	Team: Mark “Soprano” Pagley
Co-Capt	David Lane
Co-Capt	Mike Tucker
Player 1	Cary Chism
Player 2	Christopher Stacey
Player 3	Paul McAllister
Player 4	Troy Robinson

 

If you have any suggestions for next year’s event, please drop us a line or leave a comment on the blog site and let us know, we would love your feedback.  Join me in congratulating all the contestants when you see them around town or the church.  For those of you who were unable to attend, we hope to see you next year – and of course next month.

MAFIA Meeting 3/10/09 @ 6:30 PM OLD NLC CAMPUS!

Next MAFIA Meeting: Tuesday, Mar. 10, 2009 @ 6:30 PM

Greetings all,

 

This is just a reminder that the next NLC MAFIA meeting will be next Tuesday at the old NLC Maumelle Campus.  For those of you who do not know where that is, it is located just off Maumelle Blvd., behind the Shell gas station, on the corner of Maumelle Blvd. and Counts Massie Road.

 

This next meeting is going to be a blast!  We are having our next edition of the MAFIA Olympics. This will be a time for you to compete and show off all your strength, skills and techniques.  Especially in the very first hot dog eating contest!  I don’t know about you but I think that Brucie-Bruce “Sirchie Chadeos” (aka: Sausage Fingers) Waters will take the prize there, especially after finishing the Guatemala Missions trip!  See you there!
