A former Delhi resident, Kimberly Armstrong, was hit by a car on her way to Hillcrest High School in Springfield, Missouri last Tuesday, September 22. According to her aunt, Armstrong remains in a medically-induced coma, but is considered stable after suffering major head injuries. She remains listed in critical condition. A car struck her as she walked to school early last Tuesday morning to meet with a study group. Armstrong still has family in the Delhi area.

Armstrong attended El Capitan Elementary School from 1998 to 2003. She left El Capitan when her family moved to Missouri. Her grandparents, Leonard and Dorthy Benziger have lived in Delhi since 1941. Her aunt, also a Delhi resident, sent information and a request for prayers in a recent Myspace message. Her cousin is a part of the after school journalism program offered through Delhi High School and Shattuck. Armstrong is a Junior at Hillcrest HS in Springfield.

A website was set up by Armstrong’s family to offer updates on her condition as well as a means of making donations to assist with expenses. The website includes a way to contact her parents, as well.

It’s going on now: a car wash at New Life International Ministries at the corner of Schendel and Hinton. It started at 11 a.m. today and volunteers are out in force to wash cars as they raise money for fixing up a mobile home on the church property.

The cost is just $5, but additional donations are gladly accepted. Now, let me tell you what you get for that $5. My car looks better than it has a in long time. The volunteers did an outstanding job and I drove away so pleased. My car needed washing as it often does after a couple of weeks driving throughout the Valley, especially after being on some of the dry, dusty roads. I have tried a couple of automatic car washes and I’ve never been terribly disappointed, but have at times wished the car looked a little better. I have also had volunteers wash my car at fundraising car washes in the past. I never expect perfection. I just hope it looks better than it did when I drove up and that is always the case.

The system today’s volunteers had in place was wonderful. They did an incredible job and my car is sparkling better than it has in months. Now I just have to clean the inside and I will be done and happy. To top it off, Connor and I got to stay in the air conditioned car while the volunteers washed it, so we kept cooler, I didn’t have to chase a tired two-year-old around and he enjoyed the “entertainment.” We decided to go ahead and offer a “tip” so before we left, Connor handed an extra $1 through the window.

Thank you New Life for the excellent car wash!

If you need your car washed, head out there now. You can’t beat the $5 price and you will likely be pleased with how your car looks as you drive away. They may be out there fairly regularly as they have been pleased with this form of fundraiser thus far. But, why wait? Go now and get your donation’s worth!

Have a happy weekend all! And, be sure to pick up the latest printed edition of The Delhi Express. It is available in stores and restaurants now.
