fundraiser for Feed My Starving Children - Applebees

I was just notified of a fundraiser starting April 18th and then every 2nd Wednesday of the month through 2012.  Feel free to pass the information around to family and friends. All you have to do is bring the flyer (see below) to Applebees in Aurora, IL on the specific dates and 15% of your bill goes to Feed My Starving Children.

The letter below the flyer explains it all. _____________________

My name is Joyce Kalicki.  I am an individual that volunteered through my church, Word of Life, Naperville, to help pack meals for Feed My Starving Children.  As volunteers we were amazed at how many starving children this organization feeds.  The Feed My Starving Children in Illinois packed 77 million meals by using about 345,000 VOLUNTEERS!   The Feed My Starving Children location in Aurora, Illinois only has 8 full time and 12 part time employees.  The ladies of Word of Life Lutheran Church started looking for ways to support this amazing organization that does so much with so little money.  (A package of food that feeds six costs approximately $1.50!)

Applebees  Bar and Grill in Aurora, Illinois offered the program Dining to Donate.   With this program the community has the opportunity to support Feed My Starving Children by simply going out to eat!  This is something most of us do every week!  Applebees has partnered with us and is going to donate 15% of all food sales in which the dining party submits to the server the attached flyer (above).  The key is that it must be submitted to the Aurora Applebees on 59 on Wednesday April 18th, 2012 from 11am to 11pm.

Please consider joining this community effort and helping feed starving children in the United States and 69 other countries?  All you need do is advertise this fundraiser by speaking of it and passing on the attached official flyer from Applebees.  We as a community can EAT OUT and help starving children all over the world!  This means that if someone eats a $10.00 meal at Applebees of Aurora, Illinois on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 and submits the attached official Applebees flyer to the server Feed My Starving Children will receive $1.50.  This will allow FMSC to pack SIX meals for starving children.

Please consider partnering with us to raise money for Feed My Starving Children to help empower them to feed children all over the world.

If you have any questions please contact me.  I would love to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Joyce Kalicki

not much going on

nope, haven't done anything regarding setting up a book club around here.

BUT, I am in another "Radical" book club. This will be my second one, and third time reading the book :)

It's a Tyndale one, 6 people from work, we were the spill over from those who signed up first.

that's all for now

mistake

well, I made a little mistake. I didn't end up giving $1097 in 2011. I let 2011 slip by without realize I need to actually GIVE that money in 2011 to get the doubled amount from Tyndale. I was so focused on typing the money in here until the last minute, that I didn't think about donating that last amount. So, I got $800 donated in 2011, therefore, Tyndale will donate $800 too. And, all is not lost, if Tyndale does it again for this year, then I can get the rest of it doubled :)

On to 2012.

I'm not sure if I'll continue blogging. But I did want to write this in here. So it's out there and perhaps more likely to happen.

I've been thinking about starting a women's Christian book club in my neighborhood. We could start with "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire", move on to "Radical" and so many more good Christian books. The question is, how do I go about inviting my neighbors who I don't know. Do I put letters at their doors. Do I walk around knocking on doors. Do I put a flier out at a local establishment? And will anyone respond? Or, should I find out if there's a way to do it online. or, is anyone already doing it in the area, which, again, I could find out online.

help?
