    **UPDATE**
    We just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for your help today with the car wash!

    It was a great day. Lots of fun. It didn't feel like a second of work for us, so we hope it was close to the same for everyone who came and helped out. It was also a big success. Between the bbq and the wash, we raised 1500 bucks for Hosanna! And we got lots of exposure... AND we're invited back to do it again next year!
  • May 30/31, 2009 - Garage Sale

    Our garage sale was a huge success! We were able to raise $1000 for Hosanna! Thanks to all those who came out. We are planning another garage sale for the first week in September. Please keep in touch for the upcoming details.
