Annual Spring Fundraiser ... Garage Sale/Car Wash/BBQ

When Jackie and Marsha were in Africa, they noticed an urgent need in Chris's new village community that we just can't ignore. They desperately need clean freash water. We promised them that we would go home and try our hardest to raise funds to make this possible for these precious people. We are praying to raise $3000. It would be a hand pump well with a cover such as the one we did last year in another village (as pictured below).

Therefore, we are planning our annual spring fundraiser event, Garage Sale/Car Wash/BBQ for next month. We need your donated items (in good working condition), your time and your help to make this possible once again.

Spring cleaning may be happening for your family during Spring Break or over the next few weeks, so we are asking if you would please consider this fundraiser for your no-longer-wanted-items :)

If you have any suitable storage space that we can use as a drop off point before this date, please let us know ASAP. Otherwise we will ask all donors to please drop off your items on the Friday, just as we have done in the past. If you are willing and able to donate anything towards the BBQ, we will gladly accept your donations for this (hot dogs, pop/water, chips, cookies). We would also welcome as many volunteers as possible for the car wash as well as help setting up for the garage sale the day before and on the day of.

This is always a great community event and a fun time for all as we work together for a common goal in helping those so much less fortunate than us!

SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 2011 from 8:00 - 3:30.

Free Reformed Church Gym and Parking Lot

Donation drop off will be on Friday, April 29 from 9:00-5:00.

We promise that 100% of every cent raised will go directly to this project. Thank you once again for your support as we strive to make a difference for these people in this poverty stricken village!!

Blessings to you all.
