Um...... Remember when I said that we WON when it came to the Angel Tree??
Remember how I said that it wasn't over until it was over???
Remember how I said that the checks for 2012 hadn't been recorded and that the Angel Tree Dollars hadn't been accounted for???
REMEMBER??
Well my dear faithful friends....
Yesterday morning 50+ babes still needed to cross the $1,000 wall. But a whole pile of checks inside a whole pile of envelopes from 2012 had not been opened.
After 5+ hours of opening envelopes.... and after all the checks were recorded into the accounts.....
GET THIS....
There was over $16,000 in those envelopes!!!
AND....
ONLY 13 BABES WERE LEFT.
Thirteen out of 215 babes who didn't cross the $1,000 wall.
We came a mere $4,573.00 short of getting all the babes over....
BUT... IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL IT IS OVER and because we are SO CLOSE - we are getting A LITTLE OVER ONE DAY to finish the job!!
WHY????
Because tomorrow is the day everyone in Eastern Europe is going to celebrate Christmas....
JANUARY 7TH
Yep!
SO SINCE EVERYONE IS CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS IN EASTERN EUROPE....
It was decided that starting now and lasting until midnight tomorrow.....
IT IS GOING TO BE CHRISTMAS FOR THE LAST 13 BABES ON THE ANGEL TREE.
We have a little over a day to raise $4,573.00 for 13 of the least of the least.
WE CANNOT LEAVE THESE LITTLE ONES BEHIND.
So please... go empty some cookie jars, raid some piggy banks, look in the cushions of your sofas....
Drop in 5's, 10's, 20's and 100's....
AND GIVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO....
Callie, Erika, Dallas, Katrina, Weston, Benji, Cyril, Holly, Riley, Tyler, Serenity, Sadie and Rose
STARTING NOW!!!
READY, SET, GO!!
There are a couple of older babes on there for whom this might be their last year on the angel tree. They HAVE to reach their goals.
