Thanks to everyone for such generosity during our fundraising events. We had a busy weekend...but are very blessed.
The total from all the fundraising efforts exceeded $7000! Even with additional personal support, we are still about $5000 short of our goal. There is still time to make a donation thru Cedarbrook Church to support our work in New Orleans for these and future trips.
The "Date Night" on Friday went well, with over 30 children participating. I know of some very thankful parents who were able to use this opportunity for some valuble alone time.
Around 200 people were served during the Pancake Breakfast. A special THANKS to Applebees for providing their facility, and for having patience with us. They donated 100% of the food we served, complete use of their restaurant, and space to set up the Silent Auction.
The Car Wash on Saturday was steady and kept us busy. We don't have the number of cars that were washed, but if sore backs and sunburn are any indication...we were quite successful. Thanks to Walmart for providing the space, and for matching the first $500 in donations!
We ended the Silent Auction with over 100 items and services. Everyone who holds a winning bid will be contacted shortly if you haven't been already. Items will be available during Sunday's services for pick up.
Team #1 will be leaving from the Cedarbrook Center at 7 am Friday morning. Please keep our journey in your prayers as we go forward to see what surprises God has in store for us.
