but we also hosted a communityEaster Egg Hunt at Joe Henrypark on Good Friday.The turnout was overwhelming!We gave gifts, candy, hot dogsand soda to over 400 people inless than 2 hours!The children enjoyed hunting for
giant eggs filled with jelly beansand toys. Afterwards, they had a

45 Years of Sharing! 1959-200Crossroads Mission
A Bike Ride From Canada to
Mexico for Crossroads Mission
Bill Anderson is not your ordinary 77 year old man.
He has a passion for physical fitness, well-beingand for bike riding. Where men his age would
settle for a walk in the park, Bill enjoys frequent leisurebike rides of about 125 miles - in less than six hours!
Bill has had many motivations and aspirationsthroughout his life, but this time he has a goal in mind. Hewants to celebrate his 78th birthday with an amazing bikeride starting at the Canadian border and ending at theMexican border. Yes, thats approximately 1,500 milesthat he hopes to travel in less than 12 days!
But, Bill not only wants to achieve his fitness goal for
his personal satisfaction, he also wants to help the lessfortunate while doing so. He wants to join in thecelebration of our 45th Anniversary and the Share theLove campaign. Thats why he haspartnered with Crossroads Mission to have histrip converted into a fundraiser. What he hascome up with is a pledge-per-mile system thatis sure to capture the communitys interest.
Bills birthday is June 5th and thats whenhe will start his journey through the states.Everyday he will call in his mileage and we
will keep track of his progress at ourwebpage: www.crossroadsmission.org.
Bill is doing his part in the Share theLove campaign to raise funds forCrossroads. We invite you to cheer him onwith your pledges and join him in making a
difference in someones life today!

With plans that included chair rails and warm,gold tones, the renovation of the Crossroads
Mission Chapel took off last month.
The chapel is one of the busiest areas of the mission. It serves as aplace for morning devotions and evening services everyday. During theafternoons it serves as a day room for our homeless guests that arestaying at our shelters. At that time, they can come out from the heatand into a fresh room where they can read a book, watch television,have a snack provided by our kitchen staff, or simply sit and rest. Thiss also the same room that is used for staff trainings and for the
graduation ceremonies of our drug and alcohol recovery program. So,needless to say, a facelift was in order.
This area has been painted and moved around many times in thepast, but never has there been an interior decorator in charge of thewhole project. That is where volunteer Veronica Peyree comes in. Shes a retired educator with many years of dcor experience behind her.
She has taken on the challenge of turning our plain and sometimes
nstitutional looking facility into a warm and inviting area. But,Veronica is not stopping at the chapel room. She is also renovating theobby area and re-routing traffic into the kitchen and the bathrooms. Its going to be great and we cant wait for it to be finished!
We thank Veronica and her team of volunteers for caring aboutCrossroads and the people we serve. May God bless them all!
If you are interested in volunteering at Crossroads Mission andputting your expertise to use, just as Veronica, please call Barbara at
(928) 726-0491, ext. 17.
The room was totally stripped and ready! Pat Cox took care of maintenance detail
