OUR BLOG IS MOVING AND EXPANDING!

We are loving this blog idea, so we are moving the blog from just "helping haiti" to something we can use indefinitely. Our new blog is UUDavisMindsHandsHearts.blogspot.com.

All the posts from this blog have been imported to the new one, since Haiti is what "started us off!" in the blogosphere.

THE GRAND TOTAL!

DRUMROLL PLEASE! After an amazing year of fundraising, having a donor match what our kids collected, and some very generous families giving in the great spirit of the UU "open minds, helping hands, and loving hearts," our grand total raised for Haiti was


  $6,235!!!




This is amazing!!!!! We have surpassed the total for the general collection for both adult worship services!

That will result in $3117.50 for each charity (the UU Service Committee's Haiti projects, and Real Hope for Haiti.) I can't wait to send these checks off!!!


Today we voted during Spirited Worship for what our collection will serve this new year. The result (not surprising with kids involved) was ANIMALS! So we will be researching a good charity to help animals.


THIS CONGREGATION IS AWESOME!


PS - this blog will be moving to a new home....uudavismindshandshearts.blogspot.com. We will be blogging about each spirited worship collection each year!


When the new blog is ready I will provide a link.


GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!
