CAN ANYONE HELP?

Recently, someone dropped off a change for a men's prayer breakfast event; however, we never received any information about this event and we did not get the name or phone number of ther person who stopped by. All we know is that the event that needed to be changed is on March 14 and the speaker is Rev. Ken Kitzmiller. Does anyone know who might be involved with this event? Please comment or call us at 717-436-1806. Thank you!
