Well the news is officially public :) We are planning to adopt! As most of you know, the cost associated with adoption is no small amount. So, we have to big plans to do several fundraisers this summer. However, we are going to need a lot of support from our friends and family. So this is the first of many requests for your assistance. For our first fundraiser, we are selling shirts through adoptionbug.com. The link to the right will take you directly to our online store or just click HERE. We have selected six t-shirts to sell, and we will receive a portion of the profits from all the shirts sold. Also, if you buy one of the shirts that say show hope a dollar is donated to their organization to help care for orphans.
We also plan to have a pancake breakfast and silent auction on July 6th, so save the date! This will be held in Woodbury. If anyone would like to donate a single items or make a basket to be sold at the silent auction that would be great! Just let me know what theme you plan to do if you choose to do a basket (so far we have a dental theme, movie theme, and scrapbooking theme baskets). Also, if there is anyone who would like to donate their services to be sold like a haircut, massage, mani/pedi, photo session, etc. that would be awesome too. Anyone who sells pampered chef, 31, scentsy, etc. and would like to donate items we can auction them off alone or use them in a themed basket. If you can't donate but have some good ideas for auction items please pass those on too.
The last request is for yard sale items. We are planning to have a yard sale in Manchester on August 3rd just off the town square. So, we need some good stuff! We can come pick it up or you can drop it off at our house or my parents house. Just shoot me an email and we will arrange something.
Whew! I think that is all for now :) Keep checking back on our blog for updates on our fundraisers and our progress towards adopting. Thanks for your help and encouragement. Please pass on the info to your friends and family.
