Sweet Dream In A Bag

Newsletter

July 2015

 
 Providing New Bedding, Caring

and Love to Children in Transition

A comment from a Sweet Dream Mom after her children chose their Sweet Dream Bags,  "Thank you so much, that is one  of the most beautiful gestures.  You made my family feel so blessed.  We won't forget this experience!"


 

Charlottesville, VA

 

The Charlottesville Kiwanis Club in Charlottesville, Virginia is starting to put in motion plans to start Sweet Dream In A Bag in their area.  They have contacted the Chief of Family Services, Charlottesville Division of Social Services to explore the need in their area.  This all takes time----but we are so excited that they are looking at the possibility of helping precious children in their area!!!  We will help and encourage them as much as possible!!!  

   New Logo!

After months of work ..... we now have a new logo. You will be seeing this on all of our materials.  We are also in the process of re-doing our story book with new illustrations that go are much like the logo---we are going to have the booklets professionally printed--we found a wonderful printer on line --- so new "looks" for Sweet Dream!!!!!

ALAMOSA HERE WE COME!

It has been our desire to help children all over the state, we have been to Colorado Springs and Pueblo ..... we are now going to make a trip this summer to Alamosa, CO.  We will pack the van and bless about 25 children -- the date will be either Aug.10th or Aug. 17th.  Should be a fun road trip!!!

Signing Up for Packing Events

We love for individuals and groups to come to our once a month Packing Events -- Please e-mail us with the number of people you are bringing or go to our website and sign up, would be so helpful to have the numbers at least a week ahead..... that way we will know how to plan for the day.
