Dear Christian Friends,

On Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. in the Minor B. Eggleston Chapel, 914 South Main Street in Farmville, Virginia, the Friends of Carl U. Eggleston will sponsor a program to help our friend, Carl Eggleston. Reverend Dr. Dwight C. Jones, Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church of South Richmond, will provide the keynote address. Reverend Jones is a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates and former Mayor of Richmond Virginia. Carl has an excellent chance of becoming the next Mayor of Farmville. When he is elected it will be an historic election. As you know, Carl Eggleston has worked tirelessly in many organizations to benefit our Community. We realize that some of you do not live in Farmville, but Carl’s work extends beyond the Farmville line. He has sponsored his “Back to School Supplies Giveaway” and “Toy Giveaway on Christmas Eve” for more than 20 years. Now he needs our help to fulfill his 40 year goal to become the Mayor of Farmville. When elected he will serve all citizens of Farmville.

We know that Churches do not make contributions to political candidates. We are hoping that you will encourage personal contributions. Our goal is $24,000.00 to make his election happen. We are asking all ministers and all friends to make a contribution and be present for this program. If you cannot attend, please send a contribution to Friends of Carl U. Eggleston, Post Office Box 1, Farmville, Va. 23901, Click Here or use the QR code at the bottom of this letter to make a donation.

Thank you in advance.

Friends of Carl U. Eggleston
