Charity Work

I like to help out with some of the charity projects around here. Relay for Life & Quilts of Valor. We have a new one in town. No Longer Orphans. It was started by a couple in our church, after they adopted their daughter. You can read their story and see what they are doing to help others adopt at http://nolongerorphans.blogspot.com/ They just helped their first couple reach their goal to bring their kids home.

On Saturday, February 12th, they teamed up with our youth group. Our youth group has a team going on a mission's trip to Swaziland. They had a wonderful Valentines Banquet and auction. So many wonderful people donated items for both the silent and live auction. It was a wonderful time, good food and great entertainment by the youth. I made a lap quilt for the auction. Here is some pictures. It was hinted by the men that they would like to see a man quilt up for auction next year.

They made an amazing amount of money between the auction items and the tickets to the event. At the end of the night, they announced their next couple. Here is their website. http://warwickadoption.com/ If you would like to help, you can go to either of these sites. You can also "like" No Longer Orphans on facebook. You can see when they have an upcoming event and attend.
