Chiseled Faith. and Tour de Tifton

April 16, 2014

Chiseled Faith
I Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?  You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.  So glorify God in your body.

If you are interested in a program that will help you to reach your fitness and health goals and at the same time help your church financially then Chiseled Faith is probably exactly what you are looking for.

Tour de Tifton

Last evening I received this very nice letter from Dr. Bret Wagenhorst who is the event director for the Tour de Tifton/Ilse Boyette Memorial Ride

Ilse Boyette was a remarkable lady: dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, nurse, church volunteer, and cyclist. On Saturday, April 12, beneath blue skies and bright sunshine, a number of people paid tribute to her memory and helped raise money for the Tiftarea YMCA by bicycling the scenic south Georgia roads she so loved to ride. A portion of the event proceeds will also go towards a book fund for nurses at TRMC in her memory. The fifth annual Tour de Tifton / Ilse Boyette Memorial Bike Ride was a success due to the contributions of numerous people, whom we would like to take a moment to recognize and thank.
A big thanks to all our sponsors, including: GOLD LEVEL: Roger Barlow, DMD, The Stafford Companies, Douglas Vascular Center, Bret Wagenhorst, M.D., Stella and the Bunco Babes, South Georgia Surgical Clinic, The Howard Diet Center. SILVER LEVEL: Affinity Express Care, BMG Cycles Plus, Georgia Sports Medicine, Central Plumbing, Dr. Shah - the Oncology Center, Jones Construction, Kiwanis Club of Tifton, Lon Kemeness, Attorney at Law, Tifton Rotary Club, Kunes Real Estate and Appraisal, BRONZE LEVEL: Ameris Bank, APB Wealthcare Advisors, Golden Environmental, Dr. Wesley Walker, South Georgia Physicians for Women, Flowers Financial Group, Kunes Real Estate and Appraisals, and Tiftarea Greenways Association.
The staff of the Tiftarea YMCA, including Darian Peavy, Jason Bishoff, Rick Hawkins, Rick Shoniker, Priscilla Bell, and Penelope______ all were incredibly helpful with set up, registration, and general logistics. We are appreciative of Y board members Butch Davis, Beth Bernard, and Jonathan Jones for helping out. Thanks go out to Marion Curry and Penny Peters for organizing a slew of great volunteers for the rest stops. Nelson Kunes, Joe Wilson deserve applause for planning a great spaghetti meal, which was prepared or served by Jimmy Dill, Beth Bernard, Jean Courson and________. And thanks to Merchants Food Service, Melba Knight, and Ruby Tuesdays for helping supply the food. We are grateful to Jerry Goodwin for providing SAG support and event water bottles. Kudos to Roger Barlow, Sharon Petzel, Steve Wright, Paul Horst, and Yale Leiden for helping to accurately mark the 242 miles of course routes! Cheers to Faye Brannen for speaking about Ilse and to Angie Carr, for singing a magnificent Star Spangled Banner to start the event off. Thanks to Hannah?, Dillon, and Wishum for taking photos of the riders and the event. Thanks to Plant Telecommunications for creating a YouTube video for the event. Many thanks to all the folks who helped out providing refreshments to the riders at the various rest stops including: Melinda Anderson, the Bunco Babes (Donna Webb, Marlene Mathis, Faye Brannen, ), Trey Nixon and the cub scouts, Dave Groff, Jimmy Ballenger, Terry Harwood, Rick Lester, members of the Tifton and Tift Co. Rotary Clubs (Jo Windom, Marion Holland, Vicki Horst, Jeff Gibbs, Jean Courson, and Syd Blackmarr), the folks from Diversified Enterprise and members of Bethel Baptist Church and members of Chula First Baptist Church.
The food and drink you provided the riders helped sustain them on their journey. And we are grateful to the local churches, businesses, and individuals that let us use their facilities for the event, including Shingler UMC, Bethel Baptist Church, Dairy Queen in Ashburn, Divya’s Convenience Store in Rebecca, Dan and Ellen Corrie, and Chula First Baptist Church.
Thanks also to Claire Moon and Renata Elad for helping with all the numerous details that needed to be done Friday afternoon to get ready for Saturday. The Tift Co. Sheriff's Dept. deserve recognition for providing deputies and officers to help keep the riders safe on the roads by stopping traffic at the start of the event. Ernest Lang of Lang Printing did a great job with the event maps and posters and Montgomery Printing did a fine job with the event t-shirts and decals.
And of course, we are thankful to all the riders who came out to spin their wheels for charity. We had about 150 riders complete either the 11/24/45/62/100 mile routes, including riders from as far away as Knoxville, TN, Augusta and Atlanta, GA and Tampa, FL. All totaled these riders logged several thousand miles in Tift and surrounding counties that day. Cheers to all for making the event a big success. I imagine Ilse is smiling up in Heaven.

Sincerely,
The Tour de Tifton / Ilse Boyette Memorial Bike Ride planning committee
