Request from a Rock Star

So, everyone is talking about how impressive Governor Palin was last night and how her speech was the convention highlight so far and how fabulous she looked.

All of those things are true, but I decided to go down a different road today.

We got a note last night from one of our favorite legislators, Nathan Ballentine. He asked for a little help, and on this I’m happy to do what I can.

He wrote:

Even though I’m a Gamecock (note: who thoroughly enjoyed Saturday night’s game), the decision to invite Jeff Davis (Clemson) to be this year’s speaker at the Irmo Community Prayer Breakfast was not difficult.

If you’ve ever heard him speak before (”PAW” – Passionate About Winning), you know he will be well received.

If you are able, a mention on your site would greatly help the event as each of you have a wide readership in the Midlands (statewide, national for that matter).

As info, this is NOT a fundraiser. This is not political/partisan. There are no speeches. At most, we recognize local officials.

The event simply pays for itself and any leftover funds are retained for next year’s event and/or distributed to local area churches.

Thanks for any assistance you can give.

As for the details, this year’s Irmo Community Prayer Breakfast will be Thursday, September 25 beginning at 7:30 a. m. at Gateway Baptist Church. The cost is $8.00 per person, and if you’re interested in attending, visit Representative Ballentine’s blog post here.

Of course from what I hear, it may be the Tigers who need a prayer breakfast more. Just kidding:)
