Fall Festival- coming soon

Well the hacky sacks and chocolate bars arrived this week. We are very excited about getting to set up a table at the Fall Festival. Thanks Anita and Ramona! We also extended the internet sales fundraiser for a couple of weeks. So you can still go online and shop at www.heartoftheskyfairtrade.com. Don't forget, if you decide to make a purchase, use our promo code 'Shiloh UMC' so our fundraiser gets credit. Just type the promo code into the promo box on the check out page.

As far the trip planning goes, we are in process of trying to decide on a place to spend the night in Chicago before our early morning flight on the 24th.

Thanks to everyone who has given us their support!!

Slowly progressing

Not a whole lot new to tell. We did pretty good with the fundraiser, so far. We will have a table at the Fall Festival, also. I'm expecting to receive some chocolates and hacky sacks, to add to our crafts, to sell then. The online sales is still going on, you have until Oct. 11th to check out the stuff online and use our 'promo code.'

Last week and Monday, was spent busily searching for the best airfare and getting that locked in. I'm happy to say that we got a really good rate on airfare and will be flying out of Chicago on March 24th to Guatemala. Trent at Velocity Tours has helped us so much in getting our itinerary set. We have rooms being reserved in Panajachel and Guatemala City. The only thing we have left to get set is a room, for the night before our flight out, in Chicago. Yes, we will be driving to Chicago, the airport there had the best deal on airfare, less than half the cost of the other airports we checked.

Hope to see lots of you at the Fall Festival.
