The original fund-raising goal for the August 6-7 yard sale was $3,000. And, with a couple of extra hundred dollars in items sold after worship Sunday and a couple of hundred in donations (including one from an anonymous donor to put us over the top), we made it! Thanks be to God and to several dozen Crescent Hill folks who donated items and volunteered (and especially to Soni and the anonymous donor and Ana who devoted much of her final pre-college weekend in Louisville to the sale, among many others who made big contributions).
Next on the burner: trying to help our partners nail down visa photos and visa application appointments, and trying to consolidate enthusiasm about the yard sale into enthusiasm about the trip (plus connecting again with some of the many non-church folks who were on hand for the final Wednesday deacons’ dinner or the yard sale).
Good work, everyone!
