Back home, Good News Ministries of Tampa Bay began to put on seminars and retreats. The big event, Tampa Bay's first full-week School of Catholic Lay Evangelization, loomed closer and closer. It would take place in October, 1995, in St. Francis of Assisi Church. A handful of volunteers pulled together to make it happen. Charlie Osburn and his team from Pensacola came to teach and to help serve. Charlie is seen in the picture below teaching one of the classes.
Good News Ministries fed its students breakfast, lunch and dinner, requiring much hard work from its volunteers. Donna Obringer (far right in photo below) headed up the kitchen duties, a huge job with too few volunteers, no kitchen and no dining hall (we used a tent) with help from Jerry Hoffman (second from right) and other volunteers. What an adventure!
