Registration!!!

Hi Scrappers! I have been asked if there are any spots remaining for our weekend and as of right now we are full on Saturday! There are spot still available on the Friday portion. There are a few attendees who have until this today to contact me to confirm their registrations. If I do not hear from you by the end of today, I will have to open up your spots to those who are on the waiting list for Saturday. Crazy, how Saturdays are so popular. Sorry to do this.

I guess, we will have to start looking into a larger venue for next year's.

Thanks for spreading the word and supporting our event!

Saturday Portion of Crop is Full!!!

Hello Fellow Scrappers!!!
Happy Monday to you all. I am so excited to announce that we have a full house on Saturday. There are still spots open for the Friday portion of the crop. For those people who have verbally confirmed but not yet sent in your registration, please contact me via email no later than tomorrow. Email: chata629@gmail.com

To be fair to those who have recently contacted me expressing interest in attending, those spots which have not been confirmed and paid will be opened up by this Friday August 24th. Sorry to do this, so please contact me so no one is missed.

Thank you once again for all of your support and efforts to spreading the word about this event. We are truly excited and in awe of how much support we have received.

Thanks,
  Andrea, Juan & Family

A Special Thanks...

Thanks to the great support of friends like Dr. Leah Garlan, of the Pennridge Wellness Center, in Perkasie and the Yoga Tree. Our raffle will have wonderful items and I can not wait to share what they are. 

A special thanks to Jill Bagley for helping us with Giant grocery stores, who is donating a gift card to our event to help with our yummy food for the event.

 Please spread the word that there are only 6 spots remaining for Saturday, so if you know of anyone who is considering to join in the fun, please have them contact me. Remember its a better deal to sign up for both days!

Looking forward to our Charity Crop in September!

We have received such wonderfully positive responses from friends, family and strangers.

"How can we help?" Especially, from those who do not scrapbook, have stepped up and offered to assist us in some manner for our event. Thank you all! It touches my heart and reminds me that asking for help is okay. If you know me, I have always been the type of person who rarely asks for help. I grew up in a household of very independent people, so reaching out to others was not the norm. Now over the years and seeing first hand with my grandmother and most recently my mother in-law, what this illness does to the person who has the illness and those family members who are the care givers, it really takes a community of people to help. Whether its a friend helping with the grocery shopping or providing a break to the care giver.

My family and I, thank you all and do not be surprised if you receive an email or phone call from me asking for help. The more we can make this event successful, the more people living with ALS can have resources to have a better day.

Donations

Hi Everyone,
I hope today is a good day. I have been going through some photos of my family and came across one of my grandmother, Ramona Flores Castro, before ALS took its toll on her. She lit up a room and her laugh was contagious. It was a nice moment today to see her photo and how happy she was.

So, about the crop,we have approximately only 11 spots remaining for Saturday so if you are interested or know of someone who is, please encourage them to send in their registration. Also if you know of anyone or a company, who would be willing to make a donation (gift card or food) please let me know so I may get our letter out to them. Thank you all for spreading the word about our event. It will be here in 8 weeks. I can not wait!

Thanks and today is a good day!
