Expenses such as background checks, food, clothing and activities while here are covered by the host families as are any adoption expenses that may occur later. Donated funds may also be used temporarily as interest free loans to certain host families to cover immediate adoptions expenses, but these funds are to be repaid and used for bringing more children for summer visits. Funds may also be used to cover travel expenses of required Filipino social workers who travel with the children for accountability and translation purposes.

Summer of Hope meeting

2007-03-26T22:00:30.000Z

When: Wed Apr 4, 2007 1am to 2:30am MDT

Where: Red Letter Cafe on the north side of Calvary Chapel, Boise, adjacent to Franklin Street
Event Status: confirmed
Event Description: Hi Everybody, At our small (but mighty!) meeting on Sunday we discussed the tasks of the various Hope Walk fundraising committees, and I think we're ready to roll! PLEASE come to our next meeting: Wed., April 4th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Red Letter Cafe on the north side of Calvary Chapel, Boise, adjacent to Franklin Street. We decided to try a weekday evening to see if that would be more convenient for people, although we know that in many cases one parent will need to stay home to care for the kids while the other comes to the meeting. We DO hope you'll come! With many people involved, it will be much more fun and also much easier because we'll all just have a "bit" in our area of interest to accomplish for the Hope Walk. If possible, email me to let me know you'll be there. Thanks! At our meeting we'll pray for the Lord's continued guidance and blessing on this whole project and then we'll divide into the 4 "teams" to get the Hope Walk underway. If you're willing to help with the Hope Walk, but haven't made a committee selection yet, here are the choices: 1) Publicity and Media Team We'll be publicizing the HOPE WALK throughout the Treasure Valley via radio PSAs, TV, newspapers, church bulletins, signs, and banners because this is our primary way of raising the money it will take to bring the orphans from the Philippines ($3000 each) for a Summer of Hope, and hopefully (Lord willing) to end up with a Christian adoptive family. This team will also invite a well-known speaker to anchor the Hope Walk, radio station to do a live broadcast, and seek newspaper coverage of the event. 2) Business and Donor Team This team will contact businesses and corporations seeking major donations, sponsorships of specific parts of the Hope Walk (ex. snacks, drinks, port-a-potties, culminating BBQ food, brochures), give-aways (ex. T-shirts, water bottles), prizes for awards at the end of the walk, and matching funds all in exchange for free advertising. 3) Team Building Team This group will be networking and recruiting Hope Walk teams from businesses, youth groups, sports teams, Bible studies, church groups, work environments, school groups, adoptive families, foster families, professional groups, etc. They will deliver and explain the Walk packets to the teams, and help with some of the Hope Walk details such as registration table, set up, and tear down. 4) After Walk Celebration Team This team will plan the celebration which will end the Hope Walk. They will plan the menu, coordinate cooking or catering, arrange for beverages, decorations, and music, and help with set up and tear down. PLEASE let me know that you'll join us in this fun fundraising endeavor! (Hit the Reply button and let me know the committee you'd like to help or call me at 672-8560). We really need your help and enthusiasm in order to bring the children to Boise from the Philippines this summer! Please mark your calendar NOW for the Summer of Hope meeting on Wed., April 4th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Red Letter Cafe! See you then!!! In Him, Beth

Event Description: Hi Everybody, Just wanted you to know that we appreciated your prayers... Our 1st "real" Summer of Hope potluck meeting was a wonderful time of fellowship, prayer, and the beginning of planning for the upcoming months. And the kids had an equally good time, I believe! :) A special treat was the delicious Filipino food which Filipina Marelyn Burns brought! You're invited and encouraged to come to our next Summer of Hope meeting. We decided to choose a different day since we know that for some of you, Fridays are impossible. So...... Please come to the Summer of Hope meeting next Sunday, March 25, at 2:00 p.m. at our home at 11380 W. Rader Ct., Boise. Depending on the weather, it's possible we may walk over to the playground at DeMeyer Park, which is next to our home, so the kids can play there. So dress for the weather, and bring water and a snack for your kids if you want to. Come to meet some really wonderful people, enjoy a time of prayer, and help us start organizing the big fundraiser to bring the children from the Philippines to Boise in July: The Hope Walk on June 2nd. There will be lots of ways you can help: publicity and media, contacting businesses and others for prize donations and financial support, forming and encouraging new teams, prayer, organizing the big picnic finale, spreading the word about Summer of Hope and the Hope Walk, etc., etc.! Please pray about how the Lord wants you to be involved in providing a Summer of Hope for Filipino orphans. You can Mapquest directions to our home at 11380 W. Rader Ct., or follow these directions: From Eagle Road, turn east on McMillan. Go through the light at Cloverdale, and make the 1st left into DeMeyer Park subdivision (on a little street called "Lena"). Make an immediate right and follow the curves as the street changes names, as though you are starting at the bottom of an "S." Continue straight ahead at the top of the "S" and you'll run into our house at the end of the cul de saq. 11380 W. Rader Ct. 672-8560. From Five Mile, turn west on McMillan going 4/10 mile (you'll see Guardian Angels Academy on your left). Turn right on Shamrock into DeMeyer Park subdivision. Make an immediate left, and follow the biggest curve possible, as though you are starting at the bottom of a "C." Our house is at the far end of the cul de saq. 11380 W. Rader Ct. 672-8560. Please email or call me (672-8560) if you have any questions, suggestions, want further information, or want to offer your time and abilities to help bring God's precious children to Boise. And please continue talking about the Summer of Hope project with others! This is such a wonderful opportunity to follow our Lord's command to "care for the orphans." Let's share this opportunity for ministry with others!
