Where He leads...: Just in time for Christmas!

Just in time for Christmas!

Most of you have already heard me mention a 2011 fundraiser calendar for Family of Hope Services. I had asked for sponsors to fund the project so that 100% of the calendar sales could go directly to FHS. My appeal for sponsors was a bit of a test to see if the project would even happen. Within a couple days I had enough sponsors to proceed. God is so good! And I felt that with God's quick provision, I had also received His blessing to proceed with the project.

I'm pleased to announce that 200 calendars are being printed as I type this! They will sell for $15 each, so that's a whooping $3,000 for FHS. AWESOME!

I think the calendar looks GREAT! Though I suppose I'm a bit biased since I designed it. ;) But I have had others agree that it turned out really well. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy and I am also anxious for all of you to see it!

Here's a sneak peek at the cover. All of the photos are of course children from FHS. They make the calendar. I could stare at their beautiful faces all day long, and that is what I will look forward to doing from my own FHS calendar throughout all of next year. :)

If you're interested in purchasing one (or more! -- think Christmas gifts!), you can go ahead and mention that to me by email or on Facebook. I'd like to get an idea of how many will need to be mailed* as my mom has volunteered for that assignment. I will be back to the States December 15th so I can help with any local deliveries and some mailings, but any that need to be mailed or delivered by Christmas for a gift, Mom will need to do that and I'd like to have an idea of that number for her sake.

Once the calendars have arrived in Maryville (hopefully within a week or so), I'll let everyone know and I'll get more serious about taking orders.

I hope you're as excited as I am about these calendars! They were truly a labor of love and the money raised will be a huge blessing to FHS and all the children they serve.

*We'll calculate the shipping cost so we can add that to the $15 price.
