On Saturday, August 27th we hosted our Pancake Breakfast at our local Applebee's. I'll admit I was nervous from the start that this event was going to be a flop (most of the things I've tried lately have been flops or COST us money).
I was pleasantly surprised at the turnout and we were blessed with a TON of last-minute donations and ended up having FIFTY raffle baskets. We ended up making $1702 that morning. The check is on its way to Reece's Rainbow to be added to our total very soon.
If that wasn't enough excitement for one weekend, then this happened.
The next morning we were invited to a polka celebration mass and picnic at Celebration Lutheran Church down in Chardon. The polka side of it was being performed by our beloved Chardon Polka Band. Turns out the church heard about the band's recently launched fundraising campaign for our adoption and decided that all offerings taken that Sunday were being sent to our fund. So another $1169.92 will be added to the $413 that has been donated to that fund.

We are so thankful for Jake and Emily spearheading this campaign. Check out the awesome "hot cards" they will be handing out at all of their shows. :)
I've still got a few Aldi quarter keeper keychains available for a $15 donation to our fund. Send receipt and address to kaz_mom at hotmail dot com.
