Rome Crop Walk 2007

Vote YES to End Hunger



Thank you once again from those who will benefit for your support of the CROP Walk 2007. The walkers from First Presbyterian placed third in the amount of money raised with an amazing total of $2866.00. CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU!!!

Another third place plaque was presented to First Presbyterian Church for having 26 walkers.

The overall total stands at $26,000.00. Approximately $6,500 will be returned to the Rome Community.

There were approximately 1,000 lbs of non-perishable food items brought in by the walkers and the "Bring your Can to Work Day" effort. Many of the schools participated as well as several businesses. That was the most food ever received.

The poster contest revealed many new artists both in the schools as well as churches and other organizations. The numbers were staggering. There were 362 posters with 25 winners. The winning posters are on display at Jervis Library. Maegan Fish and Tyriana Jones were two of the winners. All the posters were soooooo good. It was a very difficult task to try and choose winners. They were all winners.

There were between 110 and 120 students, teachers, youth group leaders, adults, and families that attended the awards ceremony. This is one of the best parts of the CROP Walk. It was very inspiring to have all this participation. Keith Butters accepted the plaques for First Presbyterian Church and Liz Reyes received several door prizes for raising $305.00. What an effort.
