UPDATE!

Check out the counter at the right! It USED to have a top level of $1500 but NOW it has a top level of $4000! This is because we hit $1500 and our anonymous donor at church MATCHED IT! Plus with the addition of the funds from the Around the World lunch and our regular Spirited Worship collection, we have hit $3346!!! I am SOOOO EXCITED!!!

So now, I have changed the top limit of the thermometer to be $4000 because I think we can do it!!!

Let's have $2000 to take to each of our charities!!!!

Thank you all who have so generously donated so far!


I thought it would be nice to remind everyone that the Haiti Rescue Center, one of the two charities we are collecting for, has a wonderful blog. It sometimes makes you laugh, sometimes makes you cry, but ALWAYS touches your heart. They have recently begun telling the stories of the staff who work there. It's a different perspective on the Rescue Center, and definitely worth reading. By donating to our collection, you are helping them, too.


Here is Benita's story

WOW!!!

I am ecstatic to report that our Around the World lunch raised $300 for the Spirited Worship collection, for Haiti. YEAH! Our total amount raised now is well over $1500, probably more around $1800. With the anonymous donor matching the $1500, we are now at a whopping $3300 for the Haiti Rescue Center and the UU Service Committee! I think we can make it to a grand total of $4000 by the end of June. This would be beyond awesome. If you are so inclined, please donate in the sidebar of this blog!

I will post an actual total after confirming with the church office. So look for an update!
