Supporting
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital would be
a natural thought since both St. Judes's and Cornerstone
Systems are headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.
But Jim Chaltas (Memphis sales) took it one step
further by donating funds on behalf of Cornerstone
to the "Midyett Springs 4th Annual Chickin
Ropin Contest" held May 28th in Deberry,
Texas. You read correctly, we said chicken roping.....
Two opposing team members are placed in a pen
with a chicken and try to toss shoestrings over
their heads and feet. The fastest "roper"
wins. The funds raised are then split with half
going to the winner and half to St. Jude. The
chickens are not harmed and more importantly they
are returned to their homes avoiding the barbeque
grills that later serve the cookout buffet to
the massive crowds. A silent auction, balloon
jump, train rides and a live band all contribute
to a festive day. Cornerstone's donation, coordinated
through Carthage Cup (Jim's customer), will help
St. Jude in their fight against childhood cancer
and catastrophic childhood diseases
