Olivia's Benefit Dance!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hello to all and a very happy Mother's Day!!!

We had the benefit dance last night and it was a huge success!

There were tons of items donated for the silent auction including an

entire pig with cut and wrap included. We put in many hours of prep

work and organizing, there were so many people involved and it went

very smoothly, the responce was overwhelming. The DJ played the

dance for $125 (discount from $425) and then he took a special

interest in Olivia as he was born with a cleft lip and pallet, at

the end of the dance he waived his fee altogether! We were

stunned! They added up what they could at the end of the dance and

brought Trent and I into the middle of the dance floor, everyone

joined hands and made a circle around us and they played the

song " It Takes A Village To Raise A Child " Trent and I were in

tears and so were most of the people. Together they raised a grand

total of just over $4000.00!!!!!!!!!! Our community is so kind and

loving, we're proud to live here and our thanks will never be

enough, God has blessed us in so many ways. With all of the

fundraising we have done we've raised over $10,000.00 so far.

God is good, and we shall sing His praises to the heavens!!

God bless everyone on this special day and always.
