It's been far too long!

Okay, okay...With Facebook and emails, I kinda forgot about my blog. Sorry guys. I hope some of you will actually see this and haven't completely given up on me.

Here's what we have coming up for crops:
March 26th and 27th-Yes, we still have space, but it is filling up pretty quickly. If you come, you will get a special little Easter basket with scrapbook surprises inside. Apparently I also sent out a message saying something about scrapping until midnight on Saturday as well...any takers? I could probably have my arm twisted to stay.

More crop nights available in April:
April 9th and 10th
April 23rd and 24th

Autism Crop: April 17th at St. Marys from 9-5

Page of the Week is still going strong. It is every Monday starting at 10am. We will have supplies and tools available to create a page. To the right is a slideshow of this week and the next four weeks of pages. If you plan ahead, you can bring photos and have your page completed when you leave!

Sorry I stay away so long. I will try to do better!

Coat drive off to a roaring start!

Thanks to all of you who have already started bringing in coats. We are filling up tables rapidly and hoping to fill them all multiple times this winter. If you have extra maching washable coats, please bring them by the store and we will get them to the Evansville Christian Life Center in a timely manner. Don't have any extras at home? Many department stores are running 60-75% off sales right now! I got multiple kids coats today at Kohl's for just $15! Spread the word to help those in need this winter.

Sincerely,
Heather Lejman

A Message from Steve: Don't forget those in need this winter

Yesterday I spoke with my friend Gina Gibson, Executive Director of the Evansville Christian Life Center, about how this cold weather is affecting the supply of warm clothes for those in need. She said the ECLC is out of or has extreme shortages of warm coats, jackets, sweatshirts, hooded sweatshirts, caps, hats, and gloves. In fact, on Tuesday night they were scrambling to meet the need. The outlook for today is probably worse.

Since I know that Barb and I have at least 15 unused coats between us that we don't wear, I assume all of us can spare some. If you have growing children, you probably have some unused coats for kids as well.

Schmitt Photo would like to be a deposit site for you to drop off clean, machine washable jackets, coats, hats, warm gloves, hooded and regular sweatshirts, long sleeve tees, or anything that someone else can use to stay warm this winter. All sizes are needed from adult to kids. If you don't have any you may want to consider buying something to help out.

Drop off what you can at the store either by coming inside or using the drive through, and we'll see that your donations get to the Life Center promptly for distribution. Please keep this appeal going by forwarding the message to friends and family members. Each of us can help but together we can make a big difference to those in need.

Be Safe,

Steve Polley
