Thank you for making the Christmas Bazaar and Bake Sale a success!

Thank you!
Dear Friends of Branch Lutheran Schools of Haiti,
 On November 2, 2019,  the 3rd Annual Christmas Craft Bazaar and Bake Sale was held at Mount Olive Lutheran in St. Paul, benefiting Branch Lutheran Schools of Haiti, Inc.  I am very pleased to announce that over $4,500 was raised for “our kids” in Haiti.
 
I would like to thank the following churches and their craft sale organizers who so graciously donated hundreds of items and bake sale goodies for us to sell.

• *Redeemer Lutheran Church, St. Croix Falls, WI, Kristine Blauert.
• *Salem Lutheran Church, Stillwater, MN, Janet and Jack Rider.
• *Trinity Lutheran Church, Osceola, WI, Jean and Harold Brown.
• *Peace Lutheran, Hartford, WI, Edie Ash.
• *St. Paul Lutheran Church, Cannon Falls, MN, Carolyn Baumann.
• *Shepherd of the Lakes Lutheran Church, Fairmont, MN, Doris Rosener.
• *Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, St. Paul, MN, Linda Petersen and Pam Folkens (and 10 members who helped immensely the day of the sale).

 
Thanks to Thrivent Financial for once again granting start-up money for the ingredients for our lunch, bread-making supplies, and last-minute needs.
 
Another Craft Sale Coming December 7!
Thank you to Trinity Lutheran Church, Osceola, WI, for agreeing to host the 2019 Craft Sale – Part 2. The sale will be held at Trinity, 300 Seminole Avenue, 10:00 – 4:00, December 7.  There will be a huge variety of gift items, Christmas decorations, quilts and quilted items, baby and toddler items, unique nativity sets, etc., as well as bake sale goodies. There will also be lunch offered on-site for a free will donation.
 
Thank you to our dear Lord and Savior for making all of this possible, for supplying crafters, bakers, volunteers, financial donors, and many, many, many shoppers. Thank you to all who prayed for the success of the sale and especially for our over 900 students who attend our schools in Haiti, their teachers, directors and loved ones. Please continue to remember them as they are still struggling with political unrest and demonstrations in Haiti!
 
May God bless you all!!!!!                               Linda Petersen, Special Projects Coordinator, Branch Schools
