Area youths volunteer for Katrina Relief

about camping, going to the beach, or

Van Sickle said he could not wait
until he turned 14, because he would
finally be old enough to go with
the United Methodist Volunteers in Mission
Group to help with Katrina
Relief. He asked his friend, Sam Bevis, if he
would like to come along
and spend a week in D'Iberville, Miss. helping with
clean-up projects.
Van Sickle is the son of Christina Stenger and Bevis is
the son of Ken
and Teresa Bevis. Both boys will be freshmen, at North Union
High
School, this fall.
