Flood Relief Efforts and Contest Winners!
THE BIGGER PICTURE
I am very excited to be a part of something bigger that will provide much needed help to my hometown of Columbus, Indiana! As I had mentioned in my previous post, our area was devastated by the recent flooding in the Midwest. Now sources are estimating that over 1 billion dollars has been lost in farmland and crops in our area. Add to that, the over 125 million dollars in damages our hospital has sustained and the overwhelming loss of homes and possessions by local residents and you begin to grasp the gravity of the situation. This is a time when I am extremely proud to be a member of a group of Indiana based Etsy craftspeople and artisans. Our group, known as the INcrowd, are partnering with Grace Lutheran Church here in Columbus, and generously donating a minimum of 10% of their sales for the month of July to the church's relief efforts. Please, check out the INcrowd's blog (link to the left) for links to all of the participating shops and buy something to help our community! Any support will be GREATLY appreciated!
