great weekend ...
pulled off a fun, uplifting single parent and grandparent raising children meal... 33 of the 36 who rsvp showed up... a three course meal, with a free oil change card, hollywood video bucket of popcorn, candy bars and a free video card... Doug shared the vision of helping and where we are headed with our care, and desire to meet practical needs.
FunFest was ok...disapointed in the community turn out but we also have a goal to strengthen 20 churches this year...the church we helped was very encouraged and the pastor had tears in his eyes at the end when he thanked us for coming...we had a bumper crop of vols...so we are moving forward...
380 backpacks have been picked up for filling...it took just 2 weekends to have people purchase the backpacks and begin to bring them back...we charge $5 just enough to cause people to remember they purchased the packs and they need to fill em up...
we use the funds to support making christmas dreams come true 2006...
I slept to 11 am today...think i'm needing a vacation...
