The Barely Kicking Band will entertain Saturday, March 1, as friends of the Rev. Archie David Poole of Sale Creek raise funds for his medical expenses.
Poole, pastor of Coulterville Baptist Church, suffered a stroke on Oct. 28, according to his wife, Alma Dean Poole. Four months later, he has shown remarkable progress — “it’s all been due to prayers,” she says — but his energy level is still flagging.
“Each day, he has seen an improvement, but as with anybody, it’s not fast enough for him,” she says.” He wants to be able to get out and do as he’s always done.”
The benefit will start at 4 p.m. at the Sale Creek Lions Club, 15222 Coppinger Road.
Hot dogs, hamburgers and other concessions will be available. An auction of items donated by area businesses will begin at 6 p.m.
