lots of good news!!!

wow, what an amazing month this has been. i am sorry that i haven't updated in awhile. here is why!

1. we donated our 10.000th item today to haven family house. yes, ten thousand-th item... and in less than 7 months.
2. i became a full time mom to my beautiful 10 month old godson on august 14th.
3. and i am getting the polka-dot shop ready to open, as a work in progress, this sunday.

i can't thank the local community enough for all of your support and amazing donations... especially the moms of pamp.

so here are the updates you need to know about...

1. after this sundays opening, we will be open on tuesday, thursday and saturdays from 11-5pm.

during this time you can:

drop off donations, gently worn, clean children's clothing and maternity wear.

you can shop at the polka-dot shop. purchase great gently worn and new clothing for your little ones. newborn to 5T, with a few larger sizes.

you can create fun gifts and clothing in the sewing room. great way to learn how to sew and meet new friends. sew our projects for free. sew your projects for $15 an hour. call ahead for a reservation. 468-3065.

just stop by and say hi.

so with this is all said... i also need to report that our growth is far exceeding our fundraising... so any ideas for fundraising, companies that match employees donations, or you just want to write us a check....
we welcome all ideas and donations...

thanks so much,
with warm hugs.
