activities!
"Angels helping Angels"
Can you believe it ... Christmas is almost here!!!
Boy, where has all the time gone this year. Our last annual
event of the year, the 2006 "Angles Helping Angels," event is
scheduled for Sunday night, December 10 at the Wal Mart in
Roanoke. We hope to be able to purchase presents for 50-60
angels provided to us by the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program.
If you would like to make a donation for the event this year,
please see the info at the bottom of our HOME page... you can mail
in your check, or you can send us a donation over PayPal,
whichever is easiest for you. Be sure to check back just
after the event for the photos... isn't is GREAT to SEE what your
DONATIONS do!! Again, THANK YOU for all you do to help keep
the charity afloat, and may you and yours have a BLESSED holiday
season. -- "Slam" DuncanThe kids each
get to choose an angel off the tree and then go out into the store
and shop for that child. Each angel is for a boy or girl and has
the sizes and things that child wants. Our Angels then bring the
packages back to us and we wrap them for the kids.
We feel like this would be a way for the kids to help and at the
same time feel the joy of helping another child. For more
information on this year's program,

WOW! What an event this year! Here are
some of the 144 packages our ANGELS delivered to the Salvation Army as a result

our Volunteers for making this year's event the BIGGEST ONE to date!!!

Special Thanksgiving Message from Slam:
I just wanted to wish you all the best this
holiday season and to THANK YOU for everything that you've done for
the kids. Again this year, we are looking forward to providing
Christmas presents to a BUNCH of kids with our annual "Angels
Helping Angels" program scheduled for Sunday, December 10 this year.
Also, many of you have asked about my family in
the wake of Granny's passing earlier this year. I can tell you that
we ALL miss here very much, but are looking forward to getting
togther at the holidays to remember some of her favorite stories.
This leaf was the result of an idea here at work
that someone came up with to make a Thanksgiving tree and everyone
would be given one leaf to write on it what they are THANKFUL for
this Thanksgiving.
May God continue to bless us all.
Your friend -
"Slam" Duncan

It is with great sorrow that I am
posting the announcement that Granny Duncan has passed away.
Lois "Granny" Evelyn Duncan
October 23, 1914 - February 6, 2006
Below
is a poem that Debbie read at the service....
It echoes what Granny herself would have said
_________
Don’t Grieve for Me for Now I’m Free
I’m Following the Path God Laid You See
I Took His Hand when I Heard Him Call,
I Turned My Back and Left It All
I Could Not Stay Another Day,
To Laugh, To Love, to Work or Play,
Tasks Left Undone Must Stay That Way,
I Found My Peace at Close of Day
If My Parting has Left a Void,
Then Fill It with Remembered Joy
A Friendship Shared,
A Laugh, A Kiss,
Oh Yes, These Things I’ll Surely Miss!
But Be Not Burdened with Times of Sorrow
I Wish You Sunshine for Tomorrow
My Life’s been Full, I Savored Much,
Good Friends, Good Times, a Loved Ones’ Touch
Perhaps My Time Seemed All Too Brief
Don’t Lengthen it Now with Undue Grief…
LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS AND
“PEACE TO THEE”
GOD WANTED ME NOW…
HE SET ME FREE
________
In Memory of "Granny" Duncan
"This was the last picture that we took of
Granny. It's was taken on Christmas Day ... and if I can
brag a little ... she sure didn't look like she was 91!!!
She will forever live on in my heart and the ones that she
touched, whether in person or over the radio airwaves."
Love you with all my 'arts - Billy "Slam" Duncan
Granny LOVED to get cards, notes and email
from
"HER DRIVERS"

Camp Out For Kids - 2006
Slam Duncan broadcast live on Classic
Country 104.9 The Bull from the Wal Mart at 4210 Franklin Rd in
Roanoke, VA on Friday, May 12 from 3pm - 7pm, and then again on
Saturday, May 13 from 9am - 12 noon. This year's event is
dedicated to Slam's Granny, Lois Duncan, who passed away in
February. It was because of his Granny & Grandpa that Slam
was able to enjoy his very first week of Camp Roanoke back in
1972!
Our goal is to send 15 kids to camp, therefore we need to
raise a total of $4750 dollars.
If you cannot stop by the broadcast and would
like to help send a kid to camp, mail your donation, in any
amount, to SDCC /Camp P O Box13004 Roanoke, VA.

Last year 17 Roanoke area kids spent a week at Camp Roanoke
and had fun making a lifetime of memories! Help us BEAT our
goal and send even more kids in 2006!!!
