Dinner Done Fundraiser in progress

Remember from Kelly's previous email:

The Dinner Done menu for our group is complete and I am attaching that form for you so you can go out to your friends and family and get as many orders as you can. If we can all make a push for this fundraiser this week and send Suzanne Mason the number of orders you have by next weekend (May 17-18) then we can see what we will need to target from church members. Here's what we need you to do: print out the attached form and have each buyer write their name, phone and address in the top right hand corner. CIRCLE the entrees that they order and put a quantity beside each entrée they order. Suzanne and I will track using a spreadsheet to make sure everyone gets the correct entrees and in the correct quantity. The orders you take from friends and family or neighbors will be your responsibility to deliver on June 8th. We will not be delivering meals to church members -- they will need to come to Dinner Done between 2-4 PM on June 8 to pick up their entrees. Each entree is $23 and payments need to be received when the order is taken. Suzanne is checking today on whether we can write individual checks to Dinner Done. Of course, cash always works too. All orders (what we get from friends and family AND the church) need to be given to Suzanne no later than June 2nd.

For this fundraiser, we will have a booth set up next weekend and again on May 31-June 1 to take orders from church members.


Here is the menu describing the meals available through our fundraiser - hungary yet?

Wash-n-Worship Success

A quick word from Kelly about the Wash-n-Worship held today [I'll post pictures soon]:

Good evening everyone!
First, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out today to help with the car wash, those that got their car washed, and/or those who prayed for a morning without rain and a successful fundraiser!

We were truly Blessed on many accounts:
1) weather was great--overcast but no rain which really helped us because the soap dried quickly on the cars and it wasn't even sunny!

2) we had a great time working together--I don't know how many cars we washed but we never stopped after about 9:15 am when the first cars arrived!

2) We made some great profits today toward our mission trip activities -- $1,131.35! This will be enough to get 80 kids into the public pool in Guatemala, buy our supplies for the fun fair, and some medical supplies too!

3) The Thomas' provided the water from their home. We are going to send them $30 to cover our water use this morning!

A huge thanks to Tony Greathouse for his event leadership, all his supplies, and for his prayer service before the wash started. Thanks to the many families that worked together today to make this happen: the Jenkins family, the Glenn family, the Bulkeley family, Amy and Jenny Pool, and Renee, my daughter. Another thanks to Tonya Pickeral and Emily Bulkeley for helping to cover Sunday school classes so we could have more volunteers out in the car wash area. Emily Chaplin --girl, you can wash some cars!! Jen Zombron and Carly Glenn, you are some awesome drivers! If I am forgetting someone, I apologize -- I am pretty tired tonight!

Thanks again for everyone's prayers --God was Awesome today--we thank Him and give Him the glory! Have a wonderful week and keep working on getting the word out and orders taken for the Dinner Done meals!

Washing in faith :-)
Kelly
