Fundraising Event - September 26, 2010

This year the 8th annual fund raising event took place at the Mission Center at Techny, Illinois. Our "Friends of Thailand" committee worked very hard along with staff from the Mission Office to attract many new comers. Their hard work paid off - there were many new faces along with many of the regular attendees and inspite of the economy as it is these days the result was satisfactory. The event while being a financial benefit for the work of Mother of Perpetual Help Center, the new Ban Mae Maria's home for teenagers and our hospice for adults is also a great occasion for Mission Awareness.

"Thanks" to so many who worked hard and helped to make the event a happy and joyful time as well as being a success. "Thank You" to all of our regular supporters!

Back in action

It has been almost three months since I've been able to up-date this blog. While in America I did not have an opportunity to do any work on the blog, but now that I have returned to Nong Bua Lamphu and have caught up with a back load of work, I would like to up-date the blog with new information.

The purpose for my time away from Nong Bua Lamphu was for a bit of rest and relaxation, but the primary reason was to help organize the fund raising event which took place on September 26th. Our Mission Office staff and the wonderful committee members of "Friends of Thailand" worked hard to make the event the success that it was. There was a great turn out of old friends with many new comers who we hope will be able to attend next year's event as well. I hope you will enjoy the photos from the event even though they are a little later than what I had hoped to post.
