Fundraisers

While we launched our first official fundraiser this weekend, many have asked about our other fundraisers planned. Here's the list that we have so far, and while we have dates for some of them, we're still working on the details for others (as we get the dates, I will try to add them to our Facebook page - www.facebook.com/FundraisingForOurAdoption):

• T-shirts - going on now
• House of Bounce in Joplin - December 23 from 4:00-8:00, come out and let your kids get out some energy while supporting our adoption.
• Thirty-One Party - January 20th, this will be in conjuction with my friend, Lacey and the comission from this party will go towards our adoption
• IG Auction/Raising Up 1 - March
• Toy boxes - my husband will make a beautiful toy box to raffle off (some of you donated to the one we started with Noella and I still have that list!)
• Just Love Coffee fundraiser - we have an account set up with them and for every bag of coffee you buy, we get $5 (www.justlovecoffee.com/grownbyGod)
• Flower Power - for every item you purchase from them, we receive a 50% commission
• Ordinary Hero - they give us a 40% commission from every purchase! (Visit http://www.ordinaryherostore.org/and when you're ready to check out it will give you a drop down menu of Affiliates, just choose "Montee, Hannah" from the menu)
• Big ticket drawing (iPad, Canon Rebel camera or something along those lines)
• Donations - If nothing else, then feel free to give a cash donation via our account on AdoptTogether (www.adopttogether.org/monteefamily) or PayPal (use email address hmontee@hotmail.com or visit our blog and there's a link on the upper right-hand side) or if you want to give a tax-deductible gift, you can send a check to our church (get with me and I'll get you the address)

That's what we have in mind right now. More than anything, we would covet your prayers for this adoption! For more than just provisions though, for our little guy's health, for our family as we prepare to bring him home, for Maleeya as she prepares to become a big sister and prayers that we don't become discouraged as we make our way through the process.

Thank you all so very much! <3 font="">
