SUCCESS!!!

We had clothes for days...quite literally! THANK YOU!

Face painting fun!

The rain held off all day...and there was even a rainbow headed towards lebanon on Hwy 70

Look at all this stuff! So many donated SOOO many nice things!

WOW! The yard sale was a great success. SO far, we are totaling $12, 500 and we are still collecting money. I am thinking once this is all over, it will total $13,000! WHAT a HUGE SUCCESS! I am so proud of this community for the outpouring of love and support for this project...for our sweet girl...and for my efforts to enrich this community park and the lives of the MJ children! We took the leftovers to Goodwill, girl scouts took some to clean up and hand back out to needy children, toys to local childcare centers, more leftovers to help a family adopting 2 boys raise money for the adoption, and things to the library (if they will take them, still not sure on that yet). So, all in all, this is a great start to the splash pad. Our architects and engineers will be pleased to hear the total of our kick off fundraiser! Speaking of architects and engineers, they are currently drawing up the conceptual design of the pad so that I may share it will all of you very soon. I can't wait to see it! THANK YOU ALL who donated items, volunteered your time, tents, building, muscles (haha), and shopped to make this sale a huge success. It means more to us than you could ever know! OH and I completely forgot to mention the total so far (we are still selling some things)....are you ready....you won't believe this...$12, 500!!!!!
