SAUC TEAM: With just hours to go we are almost at $10,000.00 raised for CNOY. Still $139.00 short but I have renewed faith. What an amazing church and what an amazing congregation. I am beginning to truly believe ours is a force for good to be reckoned with. Your over-the-top support is extremely humbling for a Team Leader who initially feared having to raise $1,500.00.

Peter and Sharon Chynoweth: All I can say is how wonderful to have you both onboard this amazing SAUC CNOY mission. This 'Goliath' fundraising task confronting our united congregation of 'Davids' has been easily slain. We're now on bordering on 'overkill'. : ) We hope this truly CNOY sees you both rallying with us around 4:00 pm tomorrow at Spray Lakes. We'll certainly be even stronger for it. Thanks again.

Dene Botham: You don't think for one moment that I'm not anticipating you taking the lead again. Also, little Anne Hessing is a going concern. Heard from another SAUC congregant who said SAUC's fundraising success was discussed at a Horticultural Meeting last night. And my dream is to now hit $10,000. What a church indeed!

Thank you for all you and *Carole* do to make SAUC a magical place to worship.

Now the next best reward will be having you and Karlotta the overachiever, and gang, walk with us Sat. Feb. 28th for CNOY @ Spraylakes. It would be even more fun with you all there.

Anne Guiot: What a joyous way to relax post service, a CNOY $$$ notice. : ) Seeing the CNOY numbers climb higher for such an unpleasant reality - Hunger and homelessness in this Garden of Eden we call home (in some capacity). Feeling the unity and strength of this great congregation. I'm feeling the numbers as a reminder of SAUC's magic. Thanks so much for your generosity and fortifying a church that inspires.

Dear Lezley Rillera: You are a natural at issue resolution and are also the special one who sent my donation ceiling over the top. I thank you and 'little' Navjot as well for his support yesterday. The S/R household is in good hands with you two in charge. Your generosity to CNOY via St. Andrews United is well received. C'mon down for free excellent soup on Tuesdays - it's a great time to be had.

Dear Donors: I finally noticed this site-which is not my best friend by a long shot-has a column stating that I DO NOT REPLY to our Donors. A couple messages sent haven't shown up, and those that I replied to online often I am without an email, so I use this site. BUT all the rest received a personal email thank you for any and all donations sent on behalf of our brilliant St. Andrews United Church. As Team Captain it is the least I can do. My heart is filled with gratitude for your generosity!

You are a very brave young lady who already understands being a Sponsor is a very honorable task. We ALL thank you for your enthusiasm and interest in helping those who need our assistance.

William this made me roar with laughter!! Good thing fund raising is not linked to my physical abilities!! When you see me slowly picking my way over winter ice etc with ice picks and cleats an image more like a tortoise rather then a thoroughbred comes to mind! ??. I do appreciate your enthusiasm and humor and all my supporters. You are a great team captain! Go SAUC!

We have only just begun, and your support is going to leave the estimation Helping Hands suggested ($1,500.00) in the dust. This is a fantastic way to begin fundraising. SAUC's donors - YOURSELVES included - have convinced me that I've got a lot of work to do to reach your level of commitment, generosity, and humanity. Thanks Be to God, and to this congregation of ours.
