The Harvest Festival will be Oct. 13-15
The
next Harvest Festival meeting is
Tues., Sept. 13, at 7 pm at the RS Library.
The
Shoppes of Ridge Spring will be having their own After Labor Day Sale on Saturday September 10th. Come
check us out. We will be ready with all sorts of goodies beginning at
9:30. Just come spend the day with our
unique town!!!
Even though the
Ridge Spring Farmers’ Market is slowing down, we had two new vendors and one we
had not seen since June. Scuppernongs are
here. Do come by and visit. This coming Saturday will be my last day
selling peanuts. The lemonade stand will
be closed too. Leonard Bell and others will
still be coming probably through December.
So check it out.
Mike Cook: I am seeking someone in the area who shelters stray animals.
I have found two cats and a dog so far and was lucky to find a home pretty
fast. I also have hubcaps at the shop. Maybe you can put out a message that if
anyone is missing them they can come by the shop and see if we have it.
Beverly Grenier: Today was the first annual SC Police Family Fun Day. I put this
together for all of the Law Enforcement and emergency personnel for all over
the state to bridge the relationship between the officers and community they
serve. We had over 1100 officers and their families attend with vendors.
Proceeds went to the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department for vests for the
K9s. Unfortunately my husband didn't get to attend. He was keeping
Ridge Spring safe!
Danny O’Driscoll: I will be "on the road" for 10 out
of 12 weeks starting next week with Atlanta. In September I'm in Atlanta,
Aiken, Augusta, and then to Murrells Inlet. This time of year I'm very busy. I have lots
of new work that can be viewed on my web site: www.dannyodriscoll.com

Rob Lewis: What is Ridge Baptist Association?
Ridge Baptist Association is a group of 23
Southern Baptist Churches that cover part of Lexington, Aiken, Edgefield, and
all of Saluda counties. Our average church runs 100 or less in size with the
exception of Saluda and Batesburg 1st Baptist. We have contemporary,
blended, and traditional styles of worship. Our goal is that we try to do what one church
cannot do by themselves. We have been in existence in our local area
for the last 130 years. We are part of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), a Christian denomination based in the
largest Protestant body in the United States, with nearly 16 million members as
of 2012.
Each
church is self- autonomous and controls its own business, vision and direction
of the local church. We all have a belief standard that we adhere to and it is
comprised in a booklet called “The Baptist Faith and Message.” Instead of each
church supporting missionaries, on an individual basis, we pool our monies together
to support 2 groups of missionaries (foreign and home) missionaries. This
allows our missionaries to work full-time without worrying about raising their support.
We support 4,000 missionaries around
the world.
Our local
Disaster Relief teams just sent 2 tractor trailers loaded with water to
Louisiana to assist with the flood victims. Next month we will have our brand
new disaster relief mobile unit - combo washer/dryer and shower trailer ready
for the next disaster. We also were
involved in the Columbia, SC floods.
Our next local project is the Fall Festival
held at 7 p.m. on October 31st at the “Monetta Walking Track”. Last year we had
1,200 people come to our event and are looking for more this year. Our next big project will be having teams
from our local churches going to Brooklyn, NY in July 2017. This is (OJT) “On-the-Job
Training” while we are on the mission field.
Our local office is located in Monetta, SC
behind Bethel Baptist Church. If you need information on any of our local
churches, please feel free to contact us. We have contemporary to traditional
styles of worship. Our local line is 803.685.5524

The
beautiful sunflower sculpture outside
RSM Elem was made by David Cianni. He has a studio in Aiken and makes sculptures
from recycled metals. He also works on large
commercial pieces as well as small chandeliers and garden sculptures for
residents. He will be visiting our school in April.
RSME 5th Grade
Walk/Jog Club
for 5th graders will be starting Sept. 2 and will meet every Friday
morning at 7:15 am in the gym. An
information letter and permission slip will be sent home soon. Be on the
lookout for this information. Hope to
see you out walking!
Grandparents'
Breakfast
will be Sept. 8 and 9. On Sept. 8, those
whose youngest grandchild with a last name beginning with A-M. On Sept. 9, those whose last names begin N-Z
are slated for Friday the 9th.
Invitations with details will be coming home. This is a perfect way to celebrate
Grandparents’ Day which is Sept. 11.
Please
save your Box Tops for Education and
tabs off of soft drinks. Box tops are used to help purchase needed items
for our school, and the tabs go to a community service project which helps sick
children and their families stay at the Ronald
McDonald House. You may send these
to the Media Center and they will be distributed to the right person.
We
will be collecting bottle caps for Coke Rewards again this year to raise
money for PE. These can be caps from any
Coca Cola product, Minute Made, PowerAde, or flaps from 12 or 24 packs of
cans. Caps can be turned into Coach
Shealy or Coach Bundrick.
Student summer
reading program participants will be receiving a free ticket to the RSM
vs. Williston football game which is Sept. 23.
Way to go readers!
Josie
Rodgers:
RSM Mid: We are collecting Box Tops for Education.
They can be turned into the office. We collect them year round, but to make our
fall cut-off for submission, they must be turned in before Oct. 28.
RSM High: The Trojans fought a tough game last Friday
but came up short against the Saluda Tigers.
This week, they will host the Whitmire Wolverines.
The
cheerleaders put on a great pep rally for the Saluda game. It was exciting to be able to attend a pep
rally after 5 years of being at some other school at the end of each day! The kids and teachers participated in games,
chants, and dancing. The volleyball team and football team members were
introduced. It took me back to the days when Coach
Rodgers and I were coaching together (football, cheerleading). Seeing Coach Lipsey’s little girl at the pep
rally reminded me when Mark would drive the Trojan bus to the elementary school
and pick up Annalee (and sometimes Brenna) and come back to the pep rally. What precious memories!
The varsity
volleyball
team will open its season Tues., Aug. 30 with a home game. Coach Johnson has the Lady Trojans ready for action!
