We're On Our Way!!

We had our garage sale fundraiser today and it was a wonderful success. Our total including the garage sale items, handmade jewelry by Lexi, baked goods and coin jar came to $195.10!

This was the first of several fundraisers we will be holding throughout the year to help raise funds for some of the individuals hoping to go to Moldova during the summer of 2006.

As you can see in this picture, we hung the Sweet Sleep banner and played our Sweet Sleep At Work DVD as well as gave out informational brochures to help acquaint our neighbors and customers with the mission of Sweet Sleep.

This is a picture of some of the handmade jewelry by Lexi. She has made necklaces, bracelets and key chains with SweetSleepYorg spelled out in the multi-colored beads, surrounded by a string to two toned blue beads.


Here are two of our young supporters (Lexi and Kati) manning our concessions and coin table.

Thank you to everyone who donated items, made baked goods, and came out in support of our sale.
