For Those Who Helped Lee and Mary Akin

THE SOUTHEASTERN LIVESTOCK EXPOSITION RODEO WELCOMES LEE AND MARY AKIN TO THE 51ST ANNUAL SLE RODEO

THANK YOU to Montgomery and surrounding counties for your generous contributions, donations, cards and prayers for Lee and Mary Akin. Lee Akin, “Top 10” Professional Bull Rider of Weatherford, Oklahoma, was injured last March when the bull he was riding during the 50th Anniversary SLE Rodeo stepped on his head. Due to the traumatic head injury, Lee stayed in NSICU at Baptist Medical Center South for two months.

During March and April of 2007, the Southeastern Livestock Exposition, Alabama Cattlemen’s Association along with countless people in the River Region generously provided cards, food, diapers, clothes and toys for their then 5 month old daughter Jada, babysitting, a car for Mary to use while in Montgomery, prayers and so much more.

In Alabama, almost $30,000 was collected for Lee and Mary to help defray the medical and travel expenses incurred by his long recovery. Lee and Mary are very appreciative for everyone’s time, caring and contributions and especially your prayers.

Lee and Mary are attending this years SLE Rodeo to say “THANK YOU”. So come out to this year’s “51st Annual SLE Rodeo” to welcome, meet and support Lee and Mary Akin. Lee and Mary will be available 30 minutes prior to each Rodeo performance (March 6, 7 & 8) at the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association booth inside the Garrett Coliseum to meet the community that was so helpful and supportive of them.

Tickets for the 51st SLE Rodeo are available by calling 1-888-2-RODEO-2 or available at the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association building in downtown Montgomery at 201 S. Bainbridge Street, Garrett Coliseum or http://www.ticketmaster.com/.

See you at the RODEO!

Sincerely,
Debbie
