Operation Edith Volunteers

Thank you for volunteering for Operation EDITH. Attached is your volunteer kit. This kit provides resources to aid youin distributing the materials. There also are guidelines to help you get some positive PR for your efforts.

Take pictures! When you present your EDITH materials to the school, please take pictures and send them to me forpublication on our website and/or in the Carolina Agents Journal. Pictures may be emailed to [email protected], send to Katy for our RAIP website!!

If you have agency stickers, be sure to put them on the brochures so that when the kids take their copy of the brochure

home to their parents, your agency gets exposure there as well.

Dont be shy about taking the ads to your local paper or community publications and asking them to consider running theads as a public service. The same thing goes for the radio spots. Public Service Ads are done regularly, so try it. Shoulda newspaper, radio or TV station interview you about Operation EDITH, use the "Talking Points" to help you presentinformation.

For all the families and children you will help, thank you!

From Our Sponsor

Understanding Diabetic Nerve Pain

Billy Graham

Billy Graham is now 91-years-old with Parkinson's disease.

In January 2000, leaders in Charlotte , North Carolina , invited their favorite son, Billy Graham, to a

luncheon in

his honor.

Billy initially hesitated to accept the invitation because he struggles with Parkinson's disease. But the

Charlotte

leaders said, 'We don't expect a major address. Just come and let us honor you.' So he agreed.

After wonderful things were said about him, Dr. Graham stepped to the rostrum, looked at the crowd,

and said, "I'm reminded today of Albert Einstein, the great physicist who this month has been honored

by Time magazine as the Man of the Century. Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train

when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger. When he came to

Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so he reached in his trouser

pockets. It wasn't there. He looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it. Then he looked in the seat

beside him. He still couldn't find it.

"The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I'm sure you bought

a ticket. Don't worry about it.'

"Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets. As he was

ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands and

knees looking under his seat for his ticket.

"The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don't worry, I know who you are; no

problem.

You don't need a ticket. I'm sure you bought one.'

8/8

Einstein looked at him and said, 'Young man, I too, know who I am. What I don't know is where I'm

going.''

Having said that Billy Graham continued,

"See the suit I'm wearing? It's a brand new suit. My children, and my grandchildren are telling me I've

gotten a little slovenly in my old age. I used to be a bit more fastidious. So I went out and bought a new

suit for this luncheon and one more occasion. You know what that occasion is? This is the suit in

which I'll be buried. But when you hear I'm dead, I don't want you to immediately remember the suit I'm

wearing. I want you to remember this: I not only know who I am. I also know where I'm going." May

your troubles be less, your blessings more, and may nothing but happiness, come through your door.

"Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."

Amen & Peace My Friends
