THE COUNTDOWN TICKER SAYS 72 DAYS!

Uh oh -- the ticker is down to 72 days! Time to have a meeting and get the ball rolling with our crafts, etc. We have a meeting planned for this Monday for some more brainstorming.

We've been busy fund raising by having an outdoor booth at the Roselle Market. I don't think we'll become millionaires there, but it's a great way to get a little advertisement for our ministry. Hopefully we'll earn enough money to pay for the kids' daily snacks and maybe a few of the craft items. It's also a good way to do a little bit of team building and see how we work together!

We are a team of six at this point. We would probably only want a maximum of eight, so we'll see if we end up with a few more people. The six of us have already purchased our airline tickets, so things are really starting to fall into place. We were VERY pleasantly surprised that with fuel costs being more reasonable this year, our tickets were $408 instead of $608. What a blessing!
