Good morning!
Well, the benefit is just going gangbusters. Neither of us, Angie, Steph or myself can get over the overwhelming response. I mean, we KNEW that Linda is AMAZING, but it's just a beautiful thing to see how many lives she has touched. And I'm so thankful that people are expressing how much she means to them by giving and helping is such awesome ways.
Speaking of help, {wink wink} we do need some volunteers to help AT the actual benefit.
I would like to have 5 people committed to clean-up (I have one, thank you Pam).
I need 2 people to help with the food table from 1-3, and 2 people to help with the food table from 3-5.
I need 2 or 3 people to help Angie with the silent auction table.
And I need 1 or 2 people to help Stephanie's awesome kids at the baked goods table.
SO...if you can fill one of these positions, please leave a comment here, or e-mail me.
Thank you so much!
Update on the auction items: we are up to almost 60 items!!! CRAZY! I guess we are going to GIVE BIG!!

Benefit going strong
Good morning!
Well, the bad news is that we didn't get to go see Linda this weekend. The transmission went out on our car! Thank the Lord it went out on Saturday when Doug just had to run to town as opposed to going out when we were all on the road with Jacob in the car!
The good news is that this benefit is growing and growing! People I do not know have been calling to donate things, people I've never heard of have e-mailed me and asked questions. The donations for the silent auction have been pouring in! Please make sure you get there early enough to bid on these fantastic items! Just a few worth mentioning: A golf foursome at the Meadows, restaurant gift certificates, handcrafted wood projects (picture frames, jewelry box titled "Love for Linda" and a handcrafted table), Stampin' Up! products, Creative Memories projects....not to mention all the yummy baked goods!
There are people ALL over the place praying for Linda. My sister had a guy come up to her at church yesterday and say, "I'm really praying for your friend Linda." All of us and our representative churches, friends, family....we are storming the gates of Heaven on Linda's behalf. Let's keep it up folks! Remeber, "The prayers of the righteous availeth MUCH!"
