11 years old...making a difference

Megan an 11 year old from Rochester Christian Church came up with a great idea. She would sell tshirts that say Want Less, Give More. She thought she would rather be about giving more and not wanting more. She designed a tshirt and buttons with this slogan and a picture with a globe and a smiley face. So far in one month Megan has raised 500. She is on her way to 3000.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that the creative arts people at our church are raising money to help build wells. Last year we sent in $9000. This year our goal is $10,000. Here is some of what is going on:

garage sales
benefit concert
knitting and selling scarves
eBay sales
a valentine's day dinner
pink flamingoes that get put all over peoples lawns -we call it The Flock. People pay money to the clean water fund to have them removed and then suggest another person whose lawn they go on.

Best story of all-

An 11 year old girl named Braelyn did a lemonade stand during the summer. She raised $159 dollars. Her goal is to ultimately raise enough money to build an entire well. Did I mention she is 11?

Thanks for giving us an outlet to make a difference.
