Bill Adams Jr. was over at the Wesley Foundation. One day they had the cut the water off to do some repairs. Well a good hearted person didn’t know why the water was turned off but decided to help and get the water back on. Unfortunately the water damaged the new carpet, which was part of the repairs.
The Wesley Foundation didn’t have insurance to cover the damage.
So I, Charlie Williams, called a special meeting of the Methodist Men. It was decided that “we have got to do something.” Like all good Methodist, we planned a meal and had a chicken supper. Franklin Beacham, had some outlets to get cheaper chicken, and it was one of the most successful chicken suppers they ever had. They ran out of food early on. Someone called and said they were out of peas. I went to get more, and they prepared more food. Then, after purchasing even more food, they over sold so much, they ran out again. The Methodist Men offered a refund to those who had purchased food, but no one would accept the refund; they gave as a donation to the Wesley Foundation. Once all the bills were paid to cover the chicken supper expenses, the Methodist Men raised almost $600 to help pay for the damage that was done at the Wesley Foundation.
