Saturday May 14th - our first big fundraiser of the year and we were setting up at this fabulous event in Summerfield NC. The Founders Day Festival 2011. We had prepared with new items to sell, several items for raffle donated generously by our friends and local businesses. We were ready! We had several to visit our tent and it wasn't long before the rains came... it didn't discourage us we were there for the long haul. I mean if we left because of a little rain how can we support someone fighting the battle of their life. Our children had a "ball" literally throwing blow up balls to each other in the rain and laughing hysterically.
Although the weather was not perfect, it was a beautiful day, we met a lot of very kind and caring people. We cried with a few, laughed with a lot and told our story to many. This weekend we will be setting up in a new venue - a Yard Sale benefit for Rankin Elementary School in Greensboro NC. We expect a good turn out - rain or shine BLT will be there with open arms. We hope you will come and support us, support Rankin and most of all support our BLT Soldiers fighting this battle and together we can remind them they are never alone - we are BLT - Battling Life Together.
Thank you to everyone who made Summerfield a prosperous event and for those helping with the upcoming Yard Sale. More dates and fundraisers to come your way soon - Stay Tuned!
