Founder’s Day 2025 Recap: 217 Years of Community, Faith, and Celebration

July 23, 2025

A Tradition of Togetherness: Celebrating Faith, Family, and Community in 2025

At Rite Touch, we believe in the power of milestones — not just as markers of time, but as moments to honor the people, passion, and purpose that brought us here. Founder’s Day 2025 is one such moment — a time to reflect on the vision that shaped us, celebrate the legacy that drives us, and recognize the community that continues to grow with us.

As we look back on the journey, we’re reminded that behind every innovation, every game, and every partnership was a bold idea and the dedicated hearts of our founders. From humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in skill-based entertainment, Rite Touch has always stood for more than just play — we've stood for progress, purpose, and pushing boundaries.

This year’s Founder’s Day isn’t just a celebration of our roots — it's a celebration of connection. Families, friends, and community members came together to enjoy a vibrant weekend of joy, reflection, and unity.

Here’s a look at the highlights:

Friday, August 1st at 5 PM – Guests gathered for a delightful evening to see what the kids had been working on all week at Vacation Bible School (VBS), followed by a heartwarming community dinner.

Sunday, August 3rd, After Worship Service – Tea, cookies, and celebration followed as we marked 217 years of community at the First Baptist Church, a legacy of faith and togetherness from 1808 to 2025.

Though this event was hosted by the First Baptist Church, it echoes our own belief at Rite Touch: that tradition and innovation go hand in hand. Whether it's a local gathering or launching a new line of skill games, it's all about bringing people together and creating meaningful moments.

As we commemorate this Founder’s Day, we send our gratitude to those who’ve built, supported, and stood beside us. Here’s to the past that shaped us and the future we’re still creating — one skill, one game, one connection at a time.

Happy Founder’s Day 2025 from all of us at Rite Touch!

SHALOM Summary for the week of February 15- 22

February 23, 2026

The week went very well. The number of guests ranged from 28 to 34 each night. Several new guests came as other guests left so overall, served around 40 different people. The diversity of this group is great – those that lost jobs to care for loved ones, those that had experienced loss of home due to fire, to those that struggle with addiction and mental health and more. Some grouped together and talked throughout the evening; others were solitary and would stay in the area of their sleeping mat. Use of personal phones is a regular thing and having multiple plugs and plug strips to power up was essential. So many volunteers made this mission possible starting with those that drove (5 different men drove both the church bus and the SHALOM van morning and night, many nights needing one of the vehicles to make 2 runs). 20 different people chaperoned during the evening and overnight (many doing multiple shifts). We can’t thank enough the 3 people that cleaned every day (Cheryl, Larry, and Dan Shoemaker) and provided a clean and sanitary environment. Countless people provided wonderful breakfasts, dinners and snacks, fruit, coffee, sugar, juice, milk, etc. and the guests thanked us every meal for that. Three of the meals were provided by groups outside the FBC congregation – the community is chipping in! The boy scout troop helped set up the tables, chairs, dividers and place signage on the Saturday before start date – very helpful. Money donations from individuals and the Mary Martha class were used for resupplying a few things and for the large amount of laundry that exists when guests trade in used sheets, towels and washcloths and receive clean sets for the next week. Any remaining donation money will be added to the SHALOM quarterly donation FBC makes. Laundry was also done for guests throughout the week as possible – a total of 25 loads was completed for them and as it was being done, grateful thoughts for being able to wash cloths regularly went through my head. The coordinators from “downtown” came every evening to give updated information on guests and bring additional mats and linen as needed. They were also available at any hour should an emergency occur.

On a beautiful day at Mt. Pleasant, the Mary Martha class gathered for a delightful Valentine and Birthday celebration! The air was filled with joy and laughter as members participated in games, shared stories, and celebrated the warmth of friendship. The vibrant decorations, themed for both Valentine's Day and birthdays, brought an extra touch of fun to the occasion.
