Announcement:
First, let me thank all who have donated towards this effort on August 14th. My 12x15 shed is brimming from your generosity! And I am growing increasingly more excited as the date for this drive draws nearer. As generous as the donations have been, we are still in great need of people to help man the upcoming drive. I know that my family of 6 will be there and I know of a few others that have committed to this day. But we still need a few more participants to make this day a success. Please search your hearts, (and calenders ), and see if this works for you. The contact information is the same as for the donations:
Theresa Biscarret
(253)474-6349
I am asking that we keep this day in prayer, to help all who need this restart to homeschooling, come and receive what has so joyously been given.
Your sister in Christ,
Theresa Biscarret
