On April 25, Team Till We Meet Again raised $1,814.00 to benefit the March of Dimes.  Our team consisted of almost 30 walkers and we honored all NILMDTS families and all of the sweet angels that were taken from us too soon.  I’d like to put a team together every year.  The names of our angels graced the backs of our shirts and the forefront of our hearts and thoughts – There was nothing but rain in the forcast, but the SON shined down on us and peeked through the clouds.  It was an emotional day.  It was a great day.  It was a day worthy of all of our angels.

The St. Bernard – Elmwood Place Titan Cheerleaders are selling Busken Bakery Smiley Face Cookies to raise $$$ for cheer camp!!!  Kristen is selling them if you would like to support the cheerleading squads.  You can even use a credit card if you pay using paypal (use my email address – triciahackney@aol.com).   You can purchase 2 cookies for $2.00, half a dozen for $6.00, dozen for $12.00 and 2 dozen for $24.  Don’t ask yourself if NEED them – tell yourself that you NEED to support our girls!    We’re selling for the next 2 weeks – don’t miss out!!!

We’re going to have an Angel Celebration committee meeting next Sunday!!!!  If you are interested in helping plan AC’10 and working on the gifts for the families – please contact me for details and to RSVP.  Here are the “before” pictures of the memory boxes that we will be creating.  One of the volunteers for HAIN (Heavenly Angels In Need), Terri has been creating these boxes for me for a while now.  I have been taking them to the hospitals when I get a call for NILMDTS.  They are super easy and can be made in no time at all – let me know if you would like to help out!!

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is celebrating their five year anniversary.  I joined NILMDTS in early 2006 shortly after their 1 year anniversary.  There are currently over 7,000 photographers world wide that donate their time, talent and hearts when they offer their services of infant remembrance photography to families in their greatest time of need.  NILMDTS has my heart.  As the area coordinator for Cincinnati, I’ve completed over 150 sessions for these precious angels myself and have referred other NILMDTS photographers on 52 sessions.  We have a healthy base of volunteers in Cincinnati now and we would LOVE your support in furthering our mission.  Your donation would help increase awareness of the services that we are able to offer and to recruit and train new photographers.  SO—-  Click the link – give NILMDTS a HIGH 5 donation!!

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!

Time to support an EXCELLENT cause!!  On April 25, I will be walking 6 miles (which for those of you that know how much I detest any form of excercise- it’s a huge deal) in the Cincinnati March for Babies to benefit the March of Dimes.  For years, I’ve wanted to participate in one of these walks for a cause – I’ve just always had something else going on, well – my word for the year is COMMITTMENT (something that I’m trying to apply to EVERY aspect of my life) – so no more making excuses – I’M DOING IT – and now I need your support - so come on ya’ll – support the March of Dimes and Team Till We Meet Again.  I’m walking in honor of all the families and sweet angel babies that I’ve served on behalf of Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.  It would be worth it, if the $$$ raised in this walk keeps even ONE family from needing our services as volunteer bereavement photographers. 

A special thank you goes out to all those families that came out to support such a wonderful cause!!!

What a fun session!!!  Little Dakoda turned on the attitude at command – and I always appreciate that.  From what I hear – she can do it at home too and that’s not so appreciated
