CINNAMON ROLLS CAN HELP

As I am sure is the case with most, my family is no stranger to cancer. With 5 diagnosed cases in the last 10 years in our family and the loss of my own mother to breast cancer, we cringe to hear the word. But our family also rises up and strengthens our bonds and tries to support the need of help when a member of our family needs it. Now is that time again!

My cousin is a two time survivor of cancer. He is now currently in his third fight. He is the loving father of six children and husband to one amazingly strong woman. He will be undergoing the most aggressive chemo treatment often referred to as “Red Death” this time around and will be extremely sick once they start next week. He has two very large masses in his chest that they are attempting to shrink down before trying to surgically remove them.

On top of this diagnosis they are seriously suffering financially. As the medical bills and living expenses are coming in, and with Brent’s inability to work due to his treatments, they are in need of funds to help them get through this tough time. Our family is pulling together to raise money to take care of them while they focus on the treatment.

You Can Help!

On Monday June 27th we will be selling homemade and deliriously delicious cinnamon rolls to help Brent and his family with some of their immediate expenses. Order a pan or two or three! We suggest a $12 donation per pan of 1 dozen rolls. You have options too!

Icing: Cream cheese or Icing?
Filling: Raisins or nuts or both?

Let us know if you are interested! For every dozen you order, I will give an additional $12 so essentially, every dozen raises $24 for the family.

To place an order, just email my sister at tamyemessmer@Hotmail.com and copy me at ike@rainforestplumbing.com. We'll have your order ready for pickup at our house Monday night.

Thanks so much for your help!

Never Turn Down A Kid Selling Something

I once heard that you should never turn down a kid selling something. It sounded like a good policy so I have tried to live by it. I always buy girl scout cookies or things sold to raise money for youth sports teams.

Today, while sitting in my office, I heard a little girl come in the front door. She went through a wonderful script of why she was selling candy. Her father must have been with her because I heard his voice helping her along as she stumbled to find the right words.

I called an employee that was nearby into my office. I handed her a twenty dollar bill and asked her to give it to the little girl and ask for no candy in return. I listened and smiled as I heard the joyful thanks from the girl and her father. She tried to give the candy in exchange but the message was given to keep the candy in her inventory.

I never showed my face and my voice wasn't heard. It set the tone and soon several in the office were also giving and buying candy. We made a little girl very happy and everyone learned why you should never turn down a kid selling something.
