Amazing!

The response to the Garage sale is AMAZING!!! I cannot believe how many generous Luna Moms are willing to help for this fantastic cause! The March of Dimes will be very impressed and our efforts will help premature babies in our community.

So far, we have Brooke, Lynette, Xan, Sarah, Lauren, Kelly (who had a baby 5 minutes ago), and Amanda volunteering time or goods for the event. And, don't forget about Kim, who is graciously offering many hours and her own home! If anyone else would like to join in, please do not hesitate.

I will be sending Kim's contact info to each of you ladies, so watch your emails.

Finally, if you have any "big ticket" items (furniture, sporting goods, large baby items like swings or high chairs, etc, electronics) to donate, please email me at hporter310@yahoo.com. If you can shoot a picture, please send that as well. I want to be able to adequately market this event.

You have 1.5 weeks to start packing up your goods. This is a great way to clean out your home. Have fun!

Photos!

These are from our last MNO, a cooking class, where we learned to make a few new yummy dishes. These are some cell phone photos, so the quality isn't best:

Thanks goes to Sarah for planning such a great MNO! Can't wait for the next!

As some of you may not know, there is a partnership between SS and March of Dimes and the Luna Mom's are required to hold an outreach project. So, ours is in less than 2 weeks~ July 22! We're hosting a garage sale where funds will go to the March Of Dimes. During the week leading up, please drop off items at Kim Byer's home. Please let Kim know if you would like her address and to set up a time. Email me at hporter310@yahoo.com if you'd like her contact info. If your items are smallish, you can bring them to SS on Wednesday of this week and I will happily take them for you. If you have larger items, please don't hesitate to let me know, I pick them up and will get them to the sale. Let me know asap.

We need the following volunteers, so even if you can't make the sale, there's great ways to assist for a great cause:

- someone to donate pop, water, and ice Thank you, Kelly, Cody, and Chloe! 

- someone to help make signs (during the week leading up)

- someone to help price items (during the week leading up) Thanks, Brooke!

- someone to donate materials to make signs and post prices (stickers, markers, cardboard, or "garage sale" signs available at hardware stores) Thank You, Lynette, Xan Andy and Allie!!!

- 2-3 more mom's to assist at the sale itself on July 22 (will likely be in the morning, till around 1ish) So far, we have Holly, Kim, Amanda, Sarah, Brooke, and Lauren! Thank You, guys, we will organize shifts very soon!!

- 1 mom to help clean up Thanks, Brooke!!!

- 1 mom to help take unsold items to the goodwill Thanks Brooke and Lynette!

Dads and older children can be involved as well! Older kids can help with counting cash and pricing items!

Remember, if you volunteer on the day of the sale, you get first dibs on some great baby and household items!

This is going to be really fun for a great cause, I hope that everyone can find a way to become involved!

Don't Forget!

Don't forget, tomorrow after SS, we are kicking off Wacky Wednesdays by making some fun father's day gifts! Here's a sneak peek:

Just add some sweet little footprints!

I picked this up at Ace for less than $3 and they also had aprons- if you've got a grill master or carpenter at your home! You could also bring T-shirts, socks, boxers, you name it! Don't forget to bring a white garment for your little one so that he or she can have something special to wear on the big day.

Additionally, we have a garage sale coming up! Kim Byers has agreed to offer her time, enthusiasm, and garage on Friday, July 22. 100% of proceeds will go directly to the March Of Dimes, which is a charity that is near and dear to her heart. So, please, start going through your belongings now. We will be carting all of our goods to her home during the week before. 

We need additional volunteers for this event. Our needs will include those who are will help sort and price items during the week before, those who can help set-up Thursday, July 21, those who can assist on July 22 at the sale, and those who can help clean up. The sale will begin at 7am. Please contact Me (Holly), Sarah, or Kim if you'd like to help for this fantastic cause. 

More details to come!
