Latham is a senior at Ridgewood Hight School and is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She has been with the organization for a year and is a leader within that group. She attributes her growth in the Christian faith and leadership skills to her involvement with FCA. Playing basketball is one of her interests that also includes visiting other youth groups and events plus being with her family. Members of the FCA and their advisor, John Strasser will introduce Latham. Special music will be provided by Nick Johnson.

Church Women United, led by Christa Citola, coordinates the churches that provide soups, pies and workers for each Luncheon. Members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes volunteer their time to assist the church workers. Churches assisting with the fourth luncheon will be Conesville, Prairie Chapel and Fresno United Methodist Churches. The suggested donation of $5 benefits Church Women United’s Clothe a Child Project which provides clothing and shoes for children of Coshocton County that are in need.
