So much to update....

I am WAY behind on updating everyone on the exciting things going on here at Reed's Relief.

First and most important: We have received our 501 (c) (3) status from the IRS!!!! We are OFFICIAL!!!!!! I am glad one of my good friends (Angie) was at my house to share in the excitement and so I didn't have to jump around, scream and do my happy dance alone! This is HUGE for us. Now onto business!

We want to thank Always In Stitches for their very very very generous donation of hats and blankets!!!! I went in to get fabric for the bags (for the parents-btw they are going to be so stinking cute!) and walked out with 23 fleece blankets over 30 crocheted hats and 3 quilts. Never in my dreams did I see that one coming!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! Check out their web site and their store, they have the cutest fabric! http://www.alwaysinstitches1.com

Mark your calendars for JUNE 25th! Reed’s Relief is having our first fund raiser at Tijuana Flats on 96th Street. PLEASE bring in the flyer (the whole thing) for your chance to win one of three $20 gift cards to Tijuana Flats!!! (This also helps them track how many people we bring in-we have to show them we are worth the time and money!)
I hope to see a HUGE turn out!!!! If you have never been to Tijuana Flats it is fantastic. A great place for the whole family, staff is top notch, food is wonderful and the salsa bar is HOT HOT HOT!
