Dear Friends,
Its 1:00 a.m. in the morning just shy of 48 hours of a new year. My grandson and three of my children have left me with great Christmas memories and recharged for an exciting new year. I have resumed my sleepless nights, preoccupied with ways to make a difference in the lives of those in need. SWIM, Inc. set a goal to raise 16,000 dollars through our financial appeal this year. This goal helps to provide free water exercise for adults who struggle with mobility and enjoy the freedom of movement in the water. I am thrilled to have exceeded last year’s goal, yet I am wrestling with the fact I am $4,000 short of this year’s goal. The good news is I have 48 hours left to reach this goal. Please join me as we close this year and help us make a BIG SPLASH for all of those who find it difficult or impossible to exercise on land. Let’s end this year with the joy of knowing we have all done what we could to make a difference in someone’s life.
Question:
What in the world does this all have to do with Jerry Lewis?
Answer:
It’s all about good causes, goals and time before midnight! It’s about dreams coming true and racing to get Cinderella her shoe!
Yes, this is what has kept me up all night.
With this said, I want to thank everyone who have already made a contribution both financially and/ or with your valuable time. It does my heart good to know how many people care, how many “Dive In” to help and how blessed I am to be part of the Swim, Inc organization and part of your lives.
If you a friend or family member haven’t made your tax deductable donation yet, you can still do it before midnight tonight! Date your check for 2011 and mail it in or simply go to our web-site www.swim-inc.org and click on Donate. It’s as simple as that! Together we can continue to provide free water exercise for adults with muscular impairments.
Happy New Year to all!
