Chapel Fundraiser
Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007
First, I want to assure all of you that I will still
be participating in my annual ride to fight AIDS, "Braking The Cycle",
next September. But, I will be doing another ride on Saturday June
21st, 2008!!! On this ride two of my buddies from "Braking The Cycle",
Ray and Joe will join me on a ONE HUNDRED MILE Bicycle Ride through
Long Island, New York. We will ride out to Montauk, which is on the
eastern most tip of Long Island!
The purpose of this ride is
to raise money for the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage, Missouri.
ALL PROCEEDS will go back to the Chapel via the Samuel J. Butcher
Foundation. First, I will need all of your prayers, and next, I am
asking for your financial support. There are several different ways
that you can support me on this ride. You can make a one time donation
of any amount that you would like to donate. Or, you can donate an
amount per mile that I ride. For example, you can donate $1.00 per
mile which will equal $100.00; $0.75 cents per mile will be $75.00;
$0.50 cents per mile will be $50.00 and $0.25 cents per mile will be
$25.00!
These amounts are just a suggestion. You can donate
more or less, and any donation will be most appreciated and will surely
make a difference. Each time I pedal, I will think of how what I am
doing is helping to support the Precious Moments Chapel; through the
generous support of each of you. Just think how it will make you feel
the next time you visit the Chapel to recognize that you have helped to
support the renovations! How proud you will feel knowing that the
support you have given is at work!
Please make your checks
payable to "Happiness Is Belonging" and note "Chapel ride" in the memo
section. We will deposit your checks and then after the ride we will
present the money to Sam.
I thank each of you for taking the
time to read this. I do hope that you will share this information with
other Precious Moments collectors, to help gain their support of this
endeavor. The Chapel needs repair and with the moving of the Fountain
of Angels, there is much work that will need to be done. Your donation
will help to support this work!
Please share this with your local chapter clubs as well, and if
one person in each club tells someone else, then the word will spread!
It is up to us to help keep Sam's dream, Sam's legacy, and Sam's love
for his Chapel alive. Please sponsor me on this ride! You will
definitely be making a difference. Please send your donations to: "HAPPINESS IS BELONGING" c/o Rosemarie Romano 2602 Fillmore Avenue Brooklyn, New York 11229
