​

It is time for sneak peeks of new product for the Fall Retreats! Over the next week or so I will be sharing the new lines that will be available for purchase at the Fall 2024 retreats. Patterned paper is double sided and will be sold by the sheet.

​Let's kick it off with Pack Your Bags by Simple Stories. We will have double sided patterned paper, cardstock stickers, foam stickers and page pieces/die cuts available for purchase. Pictured here are just some of the items that will be available for purchase from this line. There will be more available than what is pictured here, but this should give you a good feel for this line.
​

We will be holding a raffle fundraiser and a donation drive at the September retreat! Please know that participating is completely optional. If you are interested, here are the details:

Raffle Fundraiser: Buy however many tickets you would like and drop them in the bag next to items you wish to win. The raffle drawing will happen on Saturday night!

All money collected from the raffle fundraiser will be donated to The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is the world's largest suicide prevention and mental health organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people.

Please bring cash or check to pay for any tickets you wish to purchase. We will come around the ballroom selling tickets on Saturday at 4pm. Also, from 7-8pm on Saturday we will be at the registration table selling tickets, and collecting donations for the donation drive as well. Drawings will happen during the 8:30pm announcements on Saturday evening!

Since several people have asked: If you wish to donate a raffle item to the raffle fundraiser, please just let me know that you will be bringing something and bring it with you to the retreat. All raffle items need to be brand new, not used. Baskets of items are welcome as well. If you are a consultant, feel free to include a catalog and/or business card along with your raffle item.

Donation drive: On Saturday from 7-8pm, we will be collecting donations at the registration table. At this retreat we are collecting cleaning sponges and/or liquid dish soap. Bring in a brand new item for the donation drive and receive a raffle ticket for the raffle fundraiser! I will hand deliver all donations received to Mothers In Need of Others.

Mothers In Need of Others ministry (in Rochester) currently assists over 145 social service agencies and churches by providing emergency items (baby items, personal and feminine hygiene products, and cleaning supplies) to case managers and church outreach workers for families in crisis.
