LuLaRoe Fundraiser

Hello friends and family! It's been quiet here as things are gearing up for the holiday season. I can't believe there are 11 days till Christmas. Where has 2016 gone?!

News on the adoption front - We're still waiting to see what's going to happen with the proposed legislation. We're ready for the next part of the process, but moving forward is all hinging on what happens with the bill.

We are still fund raising and this one is going to be a lot of fun! I recently had the pleasure of meeting a local LuLaRoe consultant by the name of Melanie Katherine. I approached her with the idea of doing a fundraiser. If you're not familiar with LuLaRoe, they are a clothing company most known for amazingly soft leggings. Once you put on a pair, you won't take them off. Almost all of their clothes are made in the USA and are modestly cut with a comfortable feel. The fun and funky prints make shopping for new pieces exciting.

Melanie has a lovely boutique setup in her home where clients can drop by and shop her selection. On this Saturday, the 17th, from 11 am to 3 pm, we're having an adoption shop-athon! Stop by, meet Melanie and browse her collection. Not sure about what sizes you are? There's a fitting room and she can help you find the most comfortable size. This is a great opportunity to try on the LuLaRoe collection if you've been hesitant about buying online. I'll be there with some refreshments on hand, to say hi, and do some shopping myself. ;) This is a great opportunity for some last minute Christmas gifts!

Unable to come see us on the 17th? Melanie is hosting a sale on her VIP page (LuLaRoe Melanie Katherine VIP) this Thursday at 8:30 pm. If you shop with her this week, mention that you're shopping with Nicci when marking something 'sold' and she'll add that purchase to our fundraiser.

I certainly hope everyone can come out and join us for this event. It's sure to be a fun one!

Lots of love,

Pancake Success!

Yesterday morning was the pancake breakfast. I lost count of the people who stopped by to have breakfast with us, but it was an amazing amount. This was our second best fundraiser. We're looking at doing this again, possibly in the spring, and we have some new ideas for how to get the information out to the public.Here are some pictures from this morning:

Lots of people came out to support us!

We'd like to thank Tabernacle Baptist church for allowing us to use their space, Lauren for manning the cash box all morning, Steve's mom, her friend Cindy, and Nana for cooking and helping in the kitchen, Stacy who brought out all her Thirty One bags to help us raise money, and to everyone who showed up to eat and donated.We couldn't have done it without all the help we received! We're looking forward to the next one.

Lots of love,

We Flipping Love You!

Hi everyone! This weekend is our big pancake fundraiser, We Flipping Love You! Below is our flyer with all of the information. We're hoping for a good turn out and it will be great to see friends and family. Stacy will be there with her 31 table and she'll be hosting a party while the event is going on. She is generously donating a portion of her commission to the adoption. She is also donating a bag and we've filled it up with all kinds of goodies! Raffle tickets will be $1 each or 6 for $5. If you can't come, but would still like to help us out, please check out our AdoptTogether account. We hope to see you there!

 

Lots of love,
