We ordered more...

The money keeps rolling in, and so do the boxes of supplies! Thank you. Instead of cutting the project off early, we decided to order more tote bags, and we'll put together as many as we can. We have filled all the items for the 200 hundred bags, but we purchased 100 more totes... With all the e-mails we keep receiving we didn't want to be short again. :)

So, if you were still planning on donating we'll be happy to have it! Don't worry about the supplies being full, we have 100 more to fill. It would be a great help to still receive all the items by the 10th, because we have a lot of cash to spend to fill in where we lack. We can't wait to see many of you in less than two weeks to compile so many bags! I was excited to learn that my Fifth graders, all 65, will help with setting up that day! It about made me cry when they told me. Also a BIG THANKS to the Beckstrand/Jones family for keeping the totals up to date, it hasn't been easy.

Thanks again for all the support from all over the world. Its been an incredible experience.
