Large Company Helped In A Big Way
We went to Charles Schwab headquarters and had a Packing Party. For months before this event each employee worked at finding creative ways to raise money to fund this event. They put on Bar-B-Q, sold "Selfy Pictures", Auctioned off a lunch, had a Pie Throw at your supervisor event, put out donation collection boxes, had a dress down day, Flip-Flop Day, and charged people to participate, some people hand-made sock monkeys, some contacted friends and relatives and corporate friends to donate. It ended up that Sweet Dream received most all the materials to pack 60 Sweet Dream Bags. We couldn't get them all done that afternoon --- but everyone had a great time creating these beautiful gifts for the children that have so little!!! What an outpouring of love and caring!!!!

PROVIDING NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLUBS TO SERVE PRECIOUS CHILDREN RIGHT IN THEIR AREA
We introduced "Sweet Dream In A Bag" to all the Kiwanis Clubs in the Capital District at their yearly District Convention held near Washington DC. We met so many wonderful people with such big hearts for children. Many clubs are considering a project using the Sweet Dream model. We are ready and willing to help get Sweet Dream projects started!!!

Need for Toothbrushes
We are in great need of Toothbrushes -- we have some toothpaste that will last a couple of months, but we are short on Toothbrushes. We could use brushes for all ages. The children get so excited to find that there is a new toothbrush and toothpaste packed in their Sweet Dream Bag. We have been known to have to stop reading the book and let the child go brush their teeth!!! We love to see that sort of excitement about a NEW toothbrush and toothpaste!!!! Contact your dentist -- we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit so everything they donate is tax deductible!
