BINGO Blessings!

So many people helped make the Bingo fundraiser successful.  I don't know what I would have done without each & everyone of you.  Katie Dinger is the Bingo Queen with Darlene Rouse right behind her.  Rocky & Jennifer Bilbrey, Sallie Bess & Karen Dennis selling raffle tickets and Bingo cards.  The concessions ran smoothly thanks to David Suthers, Denise Cassell, Lynette & Jake Dawson. Thank you Sue Talbott for making my cake for me!  Timothy Burke, Zack Albert, William Cassell made sure we sold food by taking the food to the tables!  Ivey Burke, Pollyann South, Tia Coulson, Alania Cassell worked the front looking gorgeous as ever.  And lastly, but not leastly....JIM WORKMAN our Bingo caller.  Jim you will never know how much I appreciate you being there.

If I missed saying your name I am so sorry, but I am still so sore & weary this am!

Now for what you really want to hear...Our remaining balance is....$2,977.85!

I am out of ideas to raise this much, but if you can think of anything...please leave comments on this post.

Thank you & much love to you all...especially the bingo players!  I heard a lot of laughter & saw alot of people having fun!

Blessings & Update on Monies Raised!

God has blessed us with some wonderful people to lead our family along this path of fund raising!  There are so many to name and I don't want to leave anyone out...but I do need to mention two very special women who have been instrumental in our success so far:  Bonnie Agnew & Katie Dinger!

Bonnie has helped the kids & their father with their dinner fundraiser at Wytheville Baptist Church.  Even with her twin grandsons age 2.5 in tow, she lead the ladies who prepared the food, directed the workers to make sure it was ready for serving!  Bonnie has a true servants heart and does what she does for the Glory of God...for that I am truly appreciative!

Katie Dinger has held my hand and walked me through the BINGO process and has encouraged me all along the way.  Even though she has to give me lists of things to get accomplished and I check them off.  She hasn't overwhelmed me, just gave me bits of information as I was able to handle it!  You also have a Godly Servants Heart and I am blessed to call you friend!

All our friends and family are working so hard to make sure this mission trip happens.  Our prayers is that we will be right where God wants us to be and that we will shine with his love and be a blessing to all that we come in contact with!

So far we only have $3,788.10 to go!  Still looking for donations of craft supplies since we can take with us!

Thank you God for his blessings!
