I'm a development person!

I am a development person --I raise money for causes which I believe are good and worthy!  I provide access and ideas that will allow people to be able to put "feets to their prayers".  This is a good profession and I am proud to be a part of it.   So I am working on a letter with Missouri Delta Hospital asking people for donations for "Mama Cooper's Closet".  It is a joy to be involved.

My dad, Rev. A. B. Cooper, taught me that.  He would see an area that needed their own community church and he would get out, raise the funds, and supervise the building.  Last week, I attended a funeral service in Charleston and a man came up to shake my hand, told me he went to church at Bement and he wanted to thank me for having such a father.

Mama Cooper's Closet will be the same!
