Last Dinner on the House
Last night we held our final Dinner on the House for the season. We had another big crowd come out, approx 37 people came for the home cooked meal. The meal was provided by “Young Families” small group from Mountainside Community Church. After everyone had their fill of spaghetti, salad and apple/peach crumble we had an epic Ping Pong Tournament. The 20 contestants battled hard for top spot and the coveted Golden Paddle. Hank from Sweden was the eventual champion!
A big thanks to everyone who made food, served, did hundreds of dishes and blessed everyone who came to a Dinner on the House. Special thanks to Nathan Birch for coordinating these dinners and pulling everything together.
Me.Glad
Five questions with Daniel “Floyd” Ralph…CE-OH!, t.m., rider, janitor, info guy, your friend.
1. Can you give us a brief history on how Me.Glad started?
Well honestly it was a joke around session where some friends and myself were talking kinda like cavemen and joking around and I said “ME…..GLAD” then I thought yeah…”ME.GLAD” so after that when riding on the hill people would ask “how’s it Floyd” I would answer “Me.Glad” then I remember people calling me ME.GLAD, I also remember hearing other people answer with it. That’s when this whole ME.GLAD became something.
2. What is the core of the Me.Glad brand? What makes Me.Glad unique?
It’s our line “expressions in made goods of cloth, to celebrate the happiest of human moods.”. We want to spread something unique in our clothing with our designs and ideas and making sure it has a “positive, fun, creative” vibe across. We also desire to work along organizations that work with orphans & sex trafficking so we can be apart if real and positive change. We are now in the process of trying to grow the brand successfully so that we can do that in a big way!
3. What has been the most challenging thing about starting this company?
I didn’t go to school…so…haha, but really I think the commitment and staying strong through the trials of what it takes to make it a business. There is some sacrifice in areas and also a lot of faith and perseverance. Listen to people that have wisdom or have been there with life and business, that’s helps a lot too.
4. You spent some time in Canada…what were you doing when you were living in the Great White North?
Haha man do i miss that time… but enjoyed those days, stoked I had them. I was helping Troy Virostek start up the YWAM boarders school and then that first year I met these 2 bros and we got crazy in Vancouver island in this little special bus. That was you Bruce & your bro Duane. Then next thing I know it was love at first site and came out to be apart of SFC in Fernie in the early ol’ days. Man good times! Wren, Shauntelle, Jake & Yvonne, G-money…it is a huge part of my life!
5. Any prayer requests for yourself or Me.Glad?
Wisdom, favor, protection & strength…For my family, and the business. I want to be Christ like living to family and friends in this new season and venture in life.

Okay this has nothing to do with SFC, snowboarding, skiing, Jesus, shredding with friends, the Bible or white stuff in your face. It is a cool video about some guy in a crazy mountain bike contest somewhere in Chile. Enjoy.
