Yard Sale Extravaganza !!

  Well as many of you know we are back to work on our fundraisers! That Saturday afternoon off really was nice :) We have added another storage building to hold our yard sale goodies! So we currently have our garage and two storage buildings full of stuff (and I mean FULL). Not to mention several friends and family members are holding stuff for us at their houses. So please spread the word. It will be just off Manchester's square on August 3rd. We need shoppers! We have such a variety of stuff and items from probably over 40 families! All the way to the bathroom sink (no kitchen sink yet) Yeah I know that was corny, but hey :) Tons of things will be $2.00 or less! All sizes of clothes too. I will give you more info as it nears but start saving the date! 

It was a SUCCESS!

   Well we have had our first big fundraiser, and it was a big success. I was a little worried the rain and flooding might deter people from getting out but it didn't stop our sweet friends and family! Our little hometown of Woodbury really put it's arms around us in support of this breakfast/auction. We had over 90 items in our silent auction from local businesses, friends, and family (and family of friends). Not only did our little town make a big showing but our Manchester crew really rallied behind us too. It was so great to see friends we had not seen in such a long time. Our "workers" did an amazing job at cooking, serving, cleaning, collecting money, delivering take out orders, and a lot of other jobs that made this breakfast/auction flow. It was so hot in the kitchen and very busy at times but they never complained. Even when I asked them to get there at 5:30 on a Saturday morning! We were not able to keep up with the number of people that came because it got so busy, but it was well over 200. The silent auction also went great! We are so overwhelmed by everyone's generousity and support, and we want to say THANK YOU to everyone to participated in any way!!

Pancake Fundraiser Breakfast

Who loves pancakes!!!! We are having our Pancake fundraiser on Saturday July, 6th from 6 AM to 10 AM. The breakfast will be held at the Woodbury Church of Christ fellowship hall which is located at the back of the building in the basement. One of the most exciting parts of the breakfast is the silent auction consisting of over 85 entries donated from local craftsmen and businesses. There has been an amazing outpouring of support for this fundraiser and we hope for a great turn out. Thank you so much to those that have donated  items to help make this breakfast a success. All we need now is a big hungry crowd on the morning of the 6th so save room for pancakes and bring some friends. Also check out our Christian Homes and Family Services display at the breakfast, it may help answer some of the questions you may have about "open" adoption process.
