Stefanie's Art Show

Hey gang!

Those of you who know Stefanie Sacks probably know how creative she can be (and yes, she is the same Stefanie Sacks that I have been giving medical updates on since she tore her quadracep muscle in November). Stefanie is having an art show, and she is very excited. Information is posted below:

January at the Art On Rotation Gallery Clark's Cafe Clinton, MA

January at Clark's Cafe will feature the artwork of Stefanie Sacks, a
talented adult with autism. Her paintings are painted in acrylic and feature
simple themes. She has sold her work in many places. This is her first solo
show. Her reception is January 11, 2007 from 6-8pm at the Art On Rotation
Gallery at Clark's Cafe 310 High St. Clinton, MA. A portion of the sales
will go toward Autism Research.

Also at the gallery at Clark's Cafe the winners of the All Artist Juried
Show will exhibit their work for the month of January. Paintings by Stephen
Collins, Sheryll Collins, Rachel Collins, Neil Murphy, Helen Garcia and
Peter Lance will be on display. The paintings and Giclee prints may be
purchased.

Contact Sheryll Collins or Liz McDonald with any purchase or other
information.

Stefanie would love to have as many people as possible come to support her. If you are going on the night of the actual reception, please get in touch with Stefanie as soon as possible so that she can order an adequate amount of food. Thanks.

Stefanie, good for you! We are so proud of your success!

AMAZING

well folks, you asked for it. here's more information on the teacake fund raiser. we did good. let's just say, we did good. :)

The final tally:

We sold 248 cakes. Yep, that's right. I said 248

which means, that due to a combination of our hard work and the generosity of our friends, Camp has gained nearly $2,500. Think of it - $2,500 in a 2 week period. Incredible!

We really are a spectacularly blessed group of people, aren't we? Congratulations one and all on being precisely who you are! and again, well done! :)

much love,
faith

Stamp Saving Plea

Hey Friends

I know a woman who’s working with Habitat for Humanity to get housing. They have a deal going that for every cancelled stamp she saves and turns in to Habitat, they give her so much toward her house. I don’t know the actual math, I just know that the more stamps she has, the more help she receives. So I’ve been saving stamps for a while now.

Now I’m asking for your help. It’s the Holiday season, and I know people get WAY more mail than usual at that time with cards and such. Would you be willing to save your cancelled stamps along with me? All you have to do is rip the corner of the envelope (that has the stamp on it) off, and get it to me. I will do the rest.

The stamp doesn’t have to be any special kind. And you don’t have to cut it off to look neat and tidy. You just rip the corner off and Voila! You can’t re-use a cancelled stamp, so most people just throw them away without a second thought. Wouldn't it be nice to know that this piece of paper you usually throw away would be doing something really LIFE-CHANGING for someone else?

Please, think of people in need of housing. Now more than ever in this Winter season. Save and collect these stamps, and get them to me. If you start now, we can have a tremendous impact on this woman’s ability to get the help she needs sooner than she could imagine.

If you feel you can, please pass this idea on to your friends and families. This is one of those times when more really is merrier!

Please send the stamps to:

208 Harvard Ct.

Whitman, MA 02382

If it makes it easier for you, you can send them in small batches, like at the end of the upcoming months, for example. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m just grateful for any help that you can give to add to this project. I will be saving stamps until this woman tells me to stop. So if you choose to save them even after the Holidays, that would be fine too.

I just know that with your help we could have a real influx of stamps for her throughout the dead of winter.

Thank you so much for your generosity.

Have a happy and safe holiday season.

Faith Carter
