Thank you!!

I want to thank all of the supporters, the speakers & entertainment for helping make this event a success, the vendors, and the attendees who have joined our efforts for 2008 & 2009. We are truly blessed!

It is still hard to believe a simple e-mail from my friend Jill would have lead to doing something so awesome to help others. We do this for Riley McCarthy (Jill's daughter) who was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes at the age of 4. We are so proud of Riley and want to do what we can to support the cause and help to find a cure for her and others who suffer from type 1 diabetes. It is with the support of others that this is possible and that Riley can see hope for the future.

1 Corinthians 15:58 "Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or event".

Thank you all for giving of your time and donating to an awesome cause - JDRF Thanks you and the children and adults suffering from diabetes thank you!
The fruit of the spirit is what we all strive for in life ....love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control.

I hope to have done a good job organizing these events in order to serve those with juvenile diabetes and others who simply love to scrapbook. I am so proud of you for joining us in this manner to celebrate this needed cause.

I really believe in the impact of memories and can't think of a better way to support families dealing with the disease than to raise money, awareness and bring comfort! We create scrapbooks to preserve those memories... We can't reverse the disease so our best strategy is to make life as enjoyable as possible and cherish every moment – the old and the new! I empathize with any family that is living with this disease and pray that through our efforts as fund-raisers that we might bring about a better understanding, further the knowledge, determine better treatment, offer a better quality of life, and finally find a CURE for (Type 1-Juvenile, and Type 2) Diabetes patients and their loving families.
