Update #2 · Jun 14, 2011 · comment

Dear Friends,

I'm so uplifted by the generous gifts and beautiful words of encouragement that have been pouring in!  I'm truly happy to report we're almost 70% funded!  That's a dramatic turnaround from our slow start.

We have nine days to raise $3000. I'm confident we can do it.

You can help by writing an email to a good friend, saying why you support New Village.

Love and big thanks!!

Lynne
