FAITH

How is it?

How can you have such unwavering faith in someone when there are so many reasons showing you... proving to you... that maybe... just maybe that that faith is undeserved... unmerited???
Others look at you and think: "STUPID"
HMPH!!!You look at yourself sometimes and think: "STUPID, NAIVE,... SIMPLETON" (and the list goes on)
Yet... the faith is still there. UNWAVERING. TENACIOUS. UNMOVABLE.
Just then... your gut... your instincts... call it what you like... reminds you why that is so...
How do I explain this?
Have you ever been 100% sure of something?... As sure as you knew the sun would rise the next day... the earth goes round...Barack Obama is the president of the United States of America...the heart beats
That's how sure I am that he wants me...
HUH? What did you say I couldn't hear you... No Please, tell me...
...So what's the problem then you say?

Fall Festival!!!

So...
I teach the pre-K class at Eighteenth Avenue Family Enrichment Center... a non-profit organization whose mission is to positively impact the lives or quality of life of children and their families by responding to the needs of the community through center-based & outreach programs. Because our center is so small and not-for-profit, a lot of fundraising fall on willing teachers.
With that said...
We're planning a fall festival and would greatly appreciate your input on what would be the best course of action.
We've picked out a date, September 25th, 2010 and we also have a rain date. The overall theme of the festival is going to be Health Awareness.
We plan on having vendors all day long... a fashion show put on by the children... a relay race portion of the day... and a SHOW to close the day with... All of this would take place between 10am and approximately 3pm.

Now we need sponsors... vendors... volunteers... organizations who are willing to help... anything else you can possibly think of...

Throw some ideas around and help me out please...

Sincerely,

Sheila B.
