A new Fundraising Blog for Finley

I am starting this separate blog as a place to help bring home our Finley HaoYi from Liaoning China. You can always check out our regular blog over at http://www.tomiawithlove.blogspot.com/.
Adoption is exceptionally expensive and while many of us can afford another child in the family, many of us do not have $30,000.00 sitting around to plunk down. While Kevin and I have worked hard to save a nice chunk of the money, we are still in need of over half the total amount to bring home our Finley. We trust that The Lord lead us to adopt again and that HE will take care of our financial needs necessary to bring home our little girl. With that said, we must also do our part in the fundraising effort. Therefore, this blog has been created in order to begin the fundraising effort.
A few of the fundraisers we will be conducting is a CLOSET SALE of many of Mia's beautiful clothes. I am going to start posting the items probably early this week and the bidding will run for a few days. I have a TON of clothes to list and will be continually posting new things as I can go thorough the bags-- literally bags of clothes I need to go through. So, that is coming this week.
The next fundraising event we are doing is a
NIGHT OF FOOD AND WINE PAIRING
with guest chef
BRAD OWEN
from the
Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School
as well as a
Master Sommelier
(wine expert)
Brad will not only preparing the food but also pairing the wine and educating us about the way the food and wine work together. It is going to be an amazing night that anyone who can come is invited to. I will post the invite on our blog but also will be mailing out many invitations. There is not a fee to come rather we will be accepting donations to the BRINGING HOME FINLEY fund. All the donation information will be included in the invitations as we are setting up a place for tax deductible donations through LIFESONG FOR ORPHANS. More information on this event coming soon but I can tell you it is at the most amazing location-- high on a hill-- overlooking the valley-- at the most amazingly beautiful home you have ever seen!! I will post location soon but we do have a date so please reserve
Saturday November 13, 2010
as that will be the night!!!!
More info coming on all this but thanks for visiting our site and I will post more soon!!!
