Biggest Pack & Pray
The February Pack & Pray had over 60 volunteers packing Sweet Dream Bags, making parents mugs, sewing the "God Love Me" tags on pillows. Before the morning was over 125 new Sweet Dream Bags (a record) were completed. There were young people from Powell Middle School Builders Club, Arapahoe Key Club, Church Youth Group from Aurora, families from a Home School Group based in Highlands Ranch and many of our regular volunteers---it was a day to remember!!! It is exciting to see all these young people willing to give up their Saturday to help these precious children in need!!!

Speaking to groups
We have had opportunities to speak to many different groups of people -- from 180 older adults at their SOAR Conference (provided funds, both as a group and individually, for Sweet Dream to purchase more needed bedding). A Brownie Scout Troop raised enough money selling cookies for each to purchase fleece blankets for children and mugs for parents of Sweet Dream children!! We have two new corporate sponsors, Foothills Kiwanis Club and the DTC Kiwanis. A church in Westminster partnered with us in providing more than half of the material as they had a wonderful Pack & Pray which made 43 beautiful Sweet Dream Bags. It is exciting to see new people and groups are getting involved. A Girl Scout , to earn her Silver Award, has taken on a project of organizing and preparing all materials for a "Small Bag Packing Event" (Small Sweet Dream Bags for children coming into Domestic Violence Centers) partnering with a Builders Club in a school in north Denver. This weekend Susie will speak to a church in Aurora to prepare them to hold a Pack & Pray Event at their church later this month. We all grow and learn so much as we have this opportunity to serve!!
Know we love the opportunity to speak and share about Sweet Dream to any group, church, business or organization-- just call Susie 303-507-2098
