Put A Little Emmah In Your Heart

As we celebrate Valentine's day with our friends and families today, please take a few moments to remember Emmah....and do it with a BIG SMILE!.  It is what she would have wanted, and she is surely sending BIG VIRTUAL HUGS to all of us today!

What a great outpouring of support for the 113forEmmah fundraising effort.  Nearly $1,000 has been raised in just the first week!  Thank you to everyone for your consideration and donations.  This is just the beginning of something big.  Can you feel the love???!

I was speaking with Jeff and Julie this morning and learned about the Angels For Emmah page on Facebook.  Started by another mom in the Joliet area, this site was set up to publicize an upcoming Spaghetti Fundraiser dinner for the Gudeman family on February 26th.  I hope you will take the time to visit this page if you are a Facebook member, and Become a Fan of the site.  There are also some great pictures of Emmah there.

In conjunction with the spaghetti dinner, two different bracelets are being sold with all proceeds going to the family.  One is Emmah's Quest, and a second is KEIYH (Keep Emmah In Your Heart).  To order a KEIYH bracelet ($4 each) - send a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your donation to:

First Presbyterian Church

KEIYH - and Happy Valentine's Day!
