Silver Ring Thing

Marathon is hosting The Silver Ring Thing on Friday, March 5th. This is a live event that promotes abstinence. We are partnering with other churches in the area to offer this to as many students as possible in the Anderson, Pickens, and Greenville county areas. Being the host church, we are responsible for providing volunteers for the event (approximately 35) and host homes for the team putting on the event. Please consider helping us! If you would like to help, please contact me and I will make sure you are put to use. Volunteers are needed for registration, merchandise/ring sales, security, concessions, and ticket takers.

If you are willing to open up your home to the team members the guidelines are below. Housing will be needed for Thursday and Friday night. The team members are typically college students. If you are willing but don't meet all the guidelines let me know and we may be able to work out the details. Thanks for helping us make this happen for the students in our community.

Housing guidelines:

1. Each team member has his or her own bed
2. Minimum of 2 members of the same sex at each host home
3. No more than 15 min from the venue
4. Transportation to and from venue
5. Internet access available
6. Laundry access available
7. Opportunity to sleep in (time based on next event)
