How do you describe in one word a very successful Games Nite.

NEWSLETTER
We had a Vision……and that Vision has come to pass, as we turn
back the pages of time and reminisce to the day that we, the
Executive Committee, Founding members, sat together, to figure
out how we could form an Organization in the West End,
(similar to our Sister Organization, TEGSA), and with only at
“Ground Zero Base” to start this going …..at that precise
time, it was hard to imagine, ….but if we had a Crystal
Ball………Well folks,,,,,,the rest is History…………!!!!!!
As you can appreciate, we have tried to give you “the best
possible entertainment you have come to expect, thus far!!!

What's So Great
About Christianity |
Author: Dinesh
D'Souza |

Published:October 1, 2007
Dimensions:256 Pages, 6 x 9 x 1 in
Published By:Regnery Publishing
ISBN:1596985178

D’Souza, author of "Whats So Great About
America," looks at Christianity with a
questioning eye, but treats atheists with
equal skepticism. The result is a book that
challenges the assumptions of both believers
and doubters and affirms that there really is
something great about Christianity. |
