Hello Ladies!!! This is an email that I received from Laci; I just wanted to make everyone aware of what's going on and the help that is much appreciated!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello MOPS Friends- As many of you know, I have been on a trip to WA state to get our storage unit unpacked. We will be leaving WA for the 25 hour trip tomorrow afternoon. I will be returning home to Portage about Noon on Sunday June 14th. I would really appreciate any help you or your husbands/families could give to unload our U-Haul. I will provide pizza and beverages to any sort of work party we can get. I would like everyone to show up at our house (202 E. Franklin Portage - the corner of Franklin and Adams) at 1:00 PM. If you can offer any bit of help please e-mail me at bandljamison@hotmail.com or call me at 509-981-0458, that way I can make sure I have enough food. Thanks very much for all the help I can get.Fondly,Laci Jamison

Survey
"It's a God thing."...As if anything isn't. Sunrises are God things, air is a God thing, coffee is a God thing. Chocolate, music, hot baths, great friends, autumn evenings, Dippin' Dots ice cream, cloud formations-I believe that they are all pretty much "God things."
Taken from: "If you Can't Lose it Decorate It!" daily calendar by Anita Renfore
~~~~~~~~~~
The survey is to tell us what your "God thing" is. Just post a comment and let us all know!
I'll go first - Everything stated above plus hearing my son laugh, hanging out with my mom, thunderstorms and sleeping in! (Just to list a few; the list is obviously longer)

Verse of the Day
God makes everything come out right;...Gos is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, He's rich in love. He doesn't endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever...As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is His love to those who fear Him.
Psalm 103:6, 8-9, 11 (The Message)
~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know about you, but I am so glad that my God is loving!

Moppets
Happy Wednesday Ladies!
I know that it hasn't even been a week since our last MOPS meeting, but thought it would be appropriate to send this email out to you - since MOPS would be still fresh in your mind.
Over the next couple of months, if you happen to think of anyone who would love to volunteer their time and love to MOPPETS for our upcoming year - please send me their name, and phone number. You can also give them mine if you like (745-0502).
Please also give them this information:
* We meet the SECOND THUR of each month from SEPT - MAY
* Time commitment would be 8:45 - 11:45 AM
* They DO NOT need to be available each month to volunteer. Only 1 time/yr is
required.
MOPPETS appreciates all the help we can get!
Thanks! and have a great summer!
Faith Hope and Love -
Christy

Convention!
This year the MOPS convention is in Nashville, TN!!!!
I personally have never been to convention but have spoken with people who have in the past and everyone said it was a MUST to go; so I'm going!!!!
To get the pre-registration (early bird special) we must register by June 22nd (that's only 19 days away). You can go to www.mops.org and then click on the "Events" drop down box and then select "MOPS convention" to get further information.
We need to know who is interested in going ASAP! Everyone who is going will have $100 to go towards their registration fee (thank you to the anonymous donor) and we already have other various fundraisers set up to reduce the cost even more!
This is going to be a great way to get some relaxation, have some fun, create deeper bonds with other moms and get refueled! Hope to see you there :)

A mom update...
This was sent to me from one of our MOPS mom (Kenda L.). I think it is awesome what she has done and strongly encourage everyone to vote for her...you rock Kendra!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey ladies. I took part in a Pay It Forward challenge through Summit Credit Union in April. The rules were to take their $10 and “pay it forward’ somehow. I decided to see how much food and non-food items I could get for the Portage Food Pantry. I ended up with a grand total of $160.64 worth of stuff! I’m very proud of my accomplishment, and it gave me a great opportunity to show selfless giving to my kids.
They are now holding a voting period where people can vote for their favorite results. I am writing to ask for your vote! You can use the following link to see the video follow up and photos, and vote for me. The “winner” of the challenge wins $500 and $500 for their charity as well! If I won, I would support the food pantry here in Portage.
Please consider voting for me, I would really appreciate it!!
