Faithful Customers,
It's that time of year again!
WIRED week is June 24th-28th. Some of you may already know a lot about this
summer camp, but we want to ensure that all of you are familiar with what takes
place during this awesome week each year.
BEGINNINGS: WIRED
began in 2008 and has taken place each summer since then. WIRED is a
weeklong mission camp that exists to "wire" local churches,
businesses, and service organizations together for a common good: impacting our
community by meeting needs for the glory of God. The camp started with only 250
student participants but has since increased to nearly 1,000.
OVERVIEW: During
WIRED week, middle school, high school, and college students along with adult
leaders serve throughout the Wiregrass doing construction projects, sports
camps, Vacation Bible Schools (VBS), and social ministries. Thousands of lives
have been touched as a result of this camp. Every night during the week, these
groups gather to worship together at the Dothan Civic Center.
EAGLE EYE PARTNERSHIP: Eagle
Eye has a unique privilege with WIRED. Our owner, Mark Anderson, serves
as the camp director, and many of our staff work at the camp in some capacity.
Additionally, Eagle Eye's financial support is an essential component of
WIRED's existence. In past years, Eagle Eye has closed Monday through
Thursday of WIRED week so our entire staff could serve each of those
days.
THIS YEAR: This
year things will be a little different. We will remain open for business
but will operate with a much smaller staff. Store hours will be 9 AM - 6 PM.
This will allow us to accomplish two objectives: First, it will allow us the
opportunity to serve throughout the week as we rotate staff from the store to
ministry sites. Second, we will be able to make an even stronger financial
contribution this year than in years past.
OUR INVESTMENT: With
all of that being said, Eagle Eye has committed to donating all of this week's
sales to WIRED. We don't want to promote this in a self-serving manner;
our goal is not for Eagle Eye to be recognized but for the Lord's work to
continue in our community. The Wiregrass is full of great people, churches, and
civic organizations committed to impacting the lives of others. We are
happy to be one of the many doing so in this area.
Next time you shop with us,
please ask some of our store staff about this camp. Each staff member will have
his/her own WIRED experiences to share. As always, we appreciate all of
your continued support & patronage!
Our customers and God's
provision are the reason we have a business and are able to serve our
community.
Thank you!
EEO Owners &
Staff
