JOINT MEETING
A-C Natural Helpers Visit Walker’s in Virginia
Seventeen students from the A-C Central Natural Helpers organization traveled to Walkers Nursing Home in Virginia, Il on December 8th. In the picture to the top: Jenna Thompson, Chad Homer and Cameron Hager are calling a game of Santa Bingo. The photo in the middle pictures Lauren Pfaffe with her Grandpa Kelly and Courtney Bedka in the background visiting with another resident. The photo to the bottom shows Madalyn Allen marking
bingo with a resident. After the group sing-a-long and bingo game, Drew Hoff-
man, Madalyn Allen, Maggie Allen and Gracie Johnson sang a beautiful rendition of Winter Wonderland. Leigh Ann Allen provided accompaniment on the piano during the student performances as well as assisting with background musical entertainment. Santa brought in his red sack filled with gifts for the students to distribute. In this slow economy, Santa had some help as the students hosted a bake sale to help him fund the presents. Santa said that he had to hurry back to the North Pole as Christmas was fast approaching. Other members in attendance not pictured were: Lindsey
Birdsell, Courtney Cave, Ross Cloninger, Jordan Keyes, and April Leinberger.
Brandon Eskew wins 3rd place trophy as he is the third
generation of racing go karts.
Starting in the 1960’s Brandon’s grandpa, Randy Es-
kew won many checkered flags in go kart racing. In
the 1980’s Shawn, Shannon, and Shad followed in
their dad’s footsteps as they won several checkered
flags as well. In the 1990’s Anthony Eskew carried on
the family tradition as he also won
several checkered flags in his own go kart.
November 28th, 2009, Brandon Eskew entered his 1st
race at the Coliseum at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
After a lots of long nights and a lot hard work, the kart
was finally ready to be raced. Brandon’s dad, Shannon
raced the same kart in the adult class and Brandon
raced in the kids class where he won 3rd place. The
owner of the kart, Shawn Eskew was very proud of
him.
A second go kart owned by Shawn was also raced in
the adult class by a good friend, Mike Myers of Spring-
field.
