First Friday


Several weeks ago Amelia and her friends Isabella and Merritt came to us with an idea.... they wanted to sell hot chocolate and cookies at Watkinsville's monthly First Friday celebration (which in December was also the Christmas tree lighting ceremony) and use it to purchase things like medical supplies and animals for World Vision and Samaritan's Purse. They had every detail planned out and followed through on everything.... after some sleepovers and lots of hard work! That Friday night we set up their table downtown and they did the rest.... they were even interviewed by our 2 local newspapers! They (and their parents) braved the very cold temperatures, and at the end of the night they had raised $100!! Needless to say we were so proud of them!!
