With the government pulling back a lot of there summer camp financial support, we were forced to do some fund raising. Our giant rummage sale on Saturday brought in $9,340 and then on Sunday our bake sale and silent auction made us another $3460. So, we will have enough money to fund our summer camp and breakfast/lunch program for July and August.

Well done.  Efforts like this need to be applauded and supported.

Grade 6 grad, but no awards. Awards will be handed out on a separate night and only for the kids winning the awards and there families. Apparently some teacher feel that handing out awards at graduations is not helping the mental health of the kids not receiving awards.

So, we ended up with 40 kids for our summer program. 10 are there just till noon, and 30 are there all day. Breakfast, Lunch, and snack in the afternoon. It's nice that the church has a full commercial kitchen. Crafts might be our biggest program, along with our baking classes.

Had our annual Thanksgiving dinner last night. 116 people, most of which are kids and there family's from our breakfast/lunch program. It was held at our church with 22 volunteers. 4 amazing ladies that cooked the turkeys. We actual had a band after dinner for about 30 minutes, and then dessert.   

Cute little story, one of the little girls thought the whole berry cranberry sauce was dessert.
