Hi Everyone (parents, please read this email as well=),

Just a quick reminder that TODAY (Thursday, July 31st) is the due date for your rough draft Thank You/Follow Up letters. If I don’t have them today, I expect to see them in my inbox by tomorrow, unless I hear otherwise from you.

To review what goes in those letters… The letter is to 1) thank your supporters (whether in prayer, money or both), 2) let them know about the Thank You Reception NEXT Friday, August 8th from 6-8pm, and 3) share a brief testimony in writing with your reader. As I mentioned in the meeting, please send the letter and reception-invitation-postcard together to all the people you sent support letters to initially–and to anyone else who supported you, whether you sent them a support letter or not. You are responsible for the postage on these babies.

Once I edit and send them back to you, YOUR LETTERS ARE TO BE MAILED TO YOUR SUPPORTERS NO LATER THAN THIS FRIDAY.

Also, feel free to hand your leftover post cards to whoever you want to invite to the reception.

…And a quick reminder about the reception. Again, it’s next Friday, August 8th. We will arrive at the Foyer at 4:30pm on Friday afternoon to set up for the reception, which begins at 6pm. Food, photos and other fun first, then testimonies! Clean up will take about an hour, which means we’ll be wrapping things up around 9pm. Please be prepared to stay for the duration. This is the last part of our mission!

If you were NOT at Saturday’s debrief, you missed some important info about the reception and instructions/guidelines about giving your testimony, and you did not receive the Thank You Reception invitation postcards. Please call me ASAP to get the 411 and to arrange a time to get your postcards before Friday.

Thanks team! I’m VERY excited for our family and friends to hear our testimonies next week. I believe they will be VERY encouraged and inspired by you–and way proud of you, too! (I know I am=)
