Here's How You Can Help

PRAY
There are, of course, a million stories to tell. I want to get the right ones on film. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to lead the whole thing.

STORIES
If you have a great story that really captures who Mammaw and GG are, please write it in the comment section below or email it to me at russ@jicc.us (I might want film you later telling it)

PICTURES
I am making a “family tree” of pictures. So, I need pictures of each family unit before everyone grew up and got married. (meaning people will be in more than one picture)

For example, for my family, I would need a picture of:
- My grandparents family: Mildred, Walter, Libbye, Linda, Walt, Russell, Amy and Rachel
- My parents' family: Linda, Bruce, Russ, Josh, Dan, and Melissa
- My family: Russ, Jackie, Noa, and Ruthie

You can either scan them and email them to me at russ@jicc.us
OR
You can get them to Jim and Jane's house. I will be in Memphis from Feb. 11-13.

VIDEO
If you have old video (even if it is in an old format), PLEASE let me know. Those clips are priceless. I can take all the video and convert it to a format that will allow us to save it forever.

DONATE
In the end, it will probably cost about $4,000 to make this thing happen. (I'm going to have to hire some "professionals" along the way.) If you would like to give, you can make a tax-deductible donation to James Island Christian Church and send it to 12 Sawgrass Rd Charleston, SC 29412. With the check, write a note that says “Russ Film Project.”
