Just a Reminder

Don't forget that SMILE is collecting canned goods for Project HOPE and other local food banks. The month of August is "corn month" and in September we will be collecting cans of Chicken Noodle Soup. You still have time to get your donations to any SMILE officer. Any questions? Contact Cydni. Thanks for all you do to make our projects successful!

Served with a SMILE

The cookbooks are in and they look great! If you pre-ordered your cookbooks, you can pick them up from Frames Etc. during their regular business hours. Julie has a list of how many each person ordered. Otherwise... it's time to start selling! Please pick up books to sell at Frames Etc. You can return books you don't sell. The books are $15 each and would make great Christmas gifts. Each book comes with it's own stand, which can be stored by snapping it into the 3 ring binder. We ended up with 399 recipes and have a wide variety in all the different categories. If every SMILE member could sell 5-10 cookbooks, we would be well on our way to reaching our goal and raising a significant amount to donate to Wipe Out Kids Cancer! Send them to work with your husband to sell to co-workers, sell at your children's school, sell to friends, neighbors, family, etc. If you have more questions contact Elizabeth, Julie, Kim, or Traca.

Gymnastics Day

Fun was had by all at SMILE Camp's Gymnastic's Day held at In-Zone Fitness. Amanda worked with the kids on several tumbling skills.

Craft Day

The SMILE campers attended craft day at Andrea's house. The moms made picture puzzles while the kids played and ran around the yard. But the little ones did get in on the fun when it was time to make handprint/footprint placemats.

 
 
 
  

July Mom's Night Out

We met at The Lunch Box for a private dinner while the Dads stayed home with the kids. Deslys, Kim, Traca, Andrea, Rachelle, Elizabeth, Julie and Kristen enjoyed getting to know each other better when we played a personality guessing game. Who knew Desyls could shear sheep? Special thanks to De-Lynn, owner and chef of The Lunch Box for making the Greek salad, chicken vino, sauted squash, garlic herb bread, and strawberry tortes. Yum!

Worthington Orchard

Wednesday's activity found a few SMILE campers picking blackberries and blackeyed peas at Worthington Orchard near Proctor. Elizabeth, Grant, Rachel, Luke, Traca, and Aubrey had lots of fun in the sun.

It's blackberry season!
