    Smile It's Christmas for everyone...

    I wanted to share with you...

    The workshop *Altitude* where my aunt Francine goes everyday, are having their annual fundraising. The families are selling Poinsettias. The profits of th flowers I sell, go directly to Francine, for her activities. Last year I sold 24. This permitted that she got 4 months worth of free lunches on fridays and her bowling was free, also. The general profits of the whole organization also permits her to go to summer for a week, for only 120$.

    Well, this year, I'm so happy, because, the bank decided to buy their Poinsettias to decorate. Plus, I already sold 18 flowers already, besides the bank! !!!

    It's so easy to sell. Everyone I know wants to buy one and they are so happy to do it for Francine. It really touches my heart. and Francine doesn't even know we do this for her and her special friends. She sees their workshop full of flowers, that's what she sees...

    Lucie, you stop that blushing right now! *insert Dee shaking her finger* You say 'thank you' to a compliment, especially one you deserve!

    You are one of the most unselfish, caring, and compassionate ladies I have ever met and it is a wonderful thing you are doing for your Aunt Francine! WTG on selling so many plants!!! I know she is going to love her bowling and her time this summer all because of your efforts!

    You did good!
