I'm glad to hear that you are comfortably settled in and ready to start distributing tomorrow! We are proud of your commitment and dedication and look forward to seeing some pics of the distribution sites and kids. Please do not feel bad about the snow storm we had yesterday. I know how strange it must feel not to have to scrape windows and shovel snow this time of year. Perhaps we will save some for you.Stan Pearce

Hi mom and the rest of the SCAW team. You are all doing some pretty incredible work and it is so much fun following via blog and photos. Thank you for allowing everyone to be apart of this valuable work through these wonderful blogs. It is so important that the beautiful souls shine through life with warmth and spirit, which is what you and all the families and children you are meeting have been doing. Love you so much and am so proud of you mommy and everyone else apart of this wonderful project.
Hi Mom and Team, I am loving being able to follow the distribution, first thing I do in the morning is hit refresh on the screen to check for updates. The pictures are great, and I am relieved that everything is going so smoothly this far! I wish you all a great rest of the distribution and come home safe.
Again great pictures and commentary. I am sure the parents are as happy as the children to welcome you. The kits look so colourful. Do you meet the people who make the items? Rotary and its helpers do an impressivs job. I hope all goes well tomorrow.
Greetings to all the team.The pictures are great, Judy, and sounds like each day has run smoothly. Hope that you are enjoying every smile that you see. Suzanne Andrew
The smiles say it all! Kids delighting in their bedkits and volunteers basking in the results of their efforts. Enjoy your day off. Maybe a good time for a newsy email Jan?
Happy birthday, Melanie, this will be an extra special birthday for you. What an experience! I shall be thinking of you all as you make so many children and parents happy. Have a great day. Love and blessings, Frances

Hello from Toronto! Belated birthday greetings for Melanie: what an amazing way to have celebrated this year!
