Busy & Exciting days

The team has had a busy but exciting last few months preparing for our trip.  We have been so overwhelmed with the generosity and support we have received to date!  We are actually just $7000 off of our fundraising goals.

First we filled out loads and loads of paperwork and then had some fun selling "Lunch to go!" Turkey Soup, rolls & brownies.

Some of us were busy applying for our passports for the first time.

Then we held a neat day for kids called "Get 'er done" with Perley the Magician, crafts, Gingerbread house making, movies, baked goods and a chance for Mom's and Dad's to get those last minute Christmas things done.




We were able to book our flights at 3/4 the price we had budgeted for- praise God!

We kicked off the New Year with a Breakfast and Bottle drive bringing in 8,053 bottles/cans and 90 folks for breakfast!




Accommodations in Haiti and Montreal on the way home are booked, it's starting to feel real which means it's time to call in the prescriptions, and tip back the Dukerol.
