Fund raising

We pray that everyone is feeling better and recovering from your various activities this weekend!

We need to get to work on fundraisers - this is something that we can work on over the internet and less in person, so be sure to chime in!

1. Yard Sale - spread the word to starting collecting/saving items for a huge yard sale in the spring. Let's set a date - a Saturday - please list days that ARE NOT good for you and email me at mcrattin@gmail.com. We'll need help running the yard sale as well as setting up the day before and advertising. We need some people who are not on the missions team who also can help out!

2. Herbal heating pads "rice socks" - we can make these together and sell them online, in our communities, and at the yardsale. We need to set a date to get together to make them - please suggest dates that are good for you - at least half a day. Also, we need the following materials: international looking fabric, large spools of black and white thread, lots dried herbs - we have lots of rice that we'll donate to the cause and we have some African fabric which can be used. Anyone have a recipe for how much herbs need to go into one of these to make it aromatic when heated?

3. Penny jars - collect containers! We need to collect as many containers as possible ASAP - we can label them and give them back to our church family to start collecting loose change. Does someone want to design a small label that we can print off, cut up, and glue to the containers?

4. Refine your support letters and get them to Josh if you haven't already. He especially likes to proof read letters in languages that he doesn' t know... right Elizabeth? haha!! ;-)

5. More thoughts?

Keep praying!
