New Developmants!!!

We've been trying to think of ways to raise money and awareness for Smiles For Haiti and the children. We made a list of ideas and have come up with some good ones. We are hoping to do a car wash or two this summer, a basket raffle, bake sale and lemonade stand. Maybe even a cookout, hot dogs and burgers. So today we set the date for our 1st bake sale & lemonade stand. We will have a table set up in front of our Valley Wal-Mart on July 4th!!! I'm thinking we will be there from 10-2, maybe longer if things are going really well. We will have lots and lots of goodies to sell. Michele has already promised to make brownies for us but we're gonna need much more. So come on all you bakers out there, we've got a few weeks to plan this all out. Is anybody else willing to make some goodies for the bake sale? Maybe even come spend an hour or two with us at the sale? This is such a perfect time to have it because our store is ALWAYS very busy on holidays like the 4th. So please, everyone come buy some goodies from us, and help support the precious children of Haiti. If anyone else has any fundraising ideas please share them with us.
Another new and exciting development concerns our upcoming trip to Haiti next year. As many of you already know, Katie and I are going to Haiti next year. Hopefully we will be able to spend a couple weeks there. But now, my husband has decided that he wants to travel to Haiti with us next year!! That means that Kyle would be going too, so all 4 of us will be going!! I am so happy that he wants to experience this with us. Last night I started researching ticket prices and trying to figure out what airport to fly out of so we are more prepared when the times comes. I'm sooo excited. I wish we could go right now, but I know we have to wait. A friend told me today that she's afraid I won't want to leave once I get there! You know what? She's probably right! Haiti has already captured my heart and I haven't even been there yet. But next year.....next year is another story!
So is everyone still collecting donations for us? We really need more donations for our next packages that we will be sending out next month. Please continue to keep us in mind as you sort through your kids summer clothes from last year. Thanks for the support you have all given us. It means alot to us. We hope you all have a safe and happy Memorial Day.
