Hello everyone,

Many of you know that we had over 20 families donate some GREAT stuff for our garage sale last weekend and because I leave for vacation tomorrow, I just cannot get a personal thank you note to each of you in time. However, Jason and I want you to know how much we appreciate your generosity in donating to our sale, and ultimately, the adoption of our sweet little China baby.

The sale was amazing! We had people here almost all the time, all 3 days. The weather was hot, but perfect for the sale! We set up a sign about adoption, China in particular. We even had a donation fishbowl on the checkout table, and people were amazingly generous...I can't tell you how many people blessed us!

The great news---we made almost $2000 for our adoption from the sale. We could NOT have done that without your donations and we are so thankful. We had no idea that it would go that well and we are well on our way to finishing out our expenses. God has blessed us greatly and we thank you SO much.

Thank you to these families...and PLEASE forgive me if I forgot anyone:

Elaine Lewellan
Teri Burns
Scott, Linda, and Laura Burgess
Cori and Carrie Weeda (and friends!)
Phil and Marian Rogers
Paul and Karen Miller
Greg and Kim Zoltek
Jeff and Cindy Madden
Mike and Angie Magee
Linda and Rudy Potocnik
Jason and Teresa Kemper
Tim and Nona Luke
Jason and April Lee
Doug and Autumn Leach
Rusty and Shannon Brotherton
Todd and Rebecca Long
Robert and Kellie McQueen
Scott and Tracy Robinson
Bert and Traci Mattis
Michael and Julie Coram

Also, thanks to those of you who donated time (getting us lunch!) and energy (baking treats for the kids to sell at their stand)...and Traci Mattis gets the prize for donating an insane amount of time to helping me organize, price, mark, etc. (Her husband gets the credit for loaning us his truck multiple times!)

Thank you to everyone---now if we could JUST get to CHINA soon!

Much love,
Jason and Alissa Potocnik
