4 Soren eBay Auctions

Hello Eagles,

I don't know how many folks are still swinging by the blog, but in the event that you are, I decided to post this. Soren's "4 Soren" Fundraiser went remarkably well. We raised $13,000 that has gone to the purchasing of a new wheelchair accessible van for Soren. Long story short, the state ended up paying for the ramp conversion but my van was too old to convert, much like me. So we instead had to buy a new, already converted van.

Part of this amazing success were purchases by our fellow Eagles! First of all Shellaine donated her beautiful jewelry from her company Trophy Girl and her husband Joe donated some really cool mixed media pieces. And then Sue Dolan and Marita Daukas purchased pieces! I'm so overwhelmed and thankful for everyone's generosity for my boy!

And while LOTS of stuff sold, the remaining pieces are now in my garage. So I'm slowly putting them on eBay. Currently, 2 pieces are up and I will probably get to more this weekend. The easiest way to find them is to put "4 Soren" into the Search section. Check them out. See if there's something you like. All the money will continue to go to Soren and his sweet new wheelchair accessible ride!

Thanks!

Amy

Better late than never....

Hey, I know, this is late. But, it was so fantastic to see everyone at the reunion. So much more fun than I thought it was going to be! And Bob Munck is still hilarious!

Also, go rent the movie, Sicko.

4 Soren

Okay, I have no idea how many folks still check in on the blog. And many of you already got this information via email. But I figured, what the hey, I might as well post it in case someone is checking whose email address I don't have!

Many of you know abou my son Soren and his struggles. Well, we are having a fundraiser for him to raise money for a conversion to make our van wheelchair accessible.

It's an Art Show Fundraiser that opens next Saturday the 19th at

Monkeyhouse Toys & Art Gallery

The opening reception will be from 5-9 pm. There will be food, wine, and a DJ. And, most importantly, AWESOME ART!!! A bunch of my animation artist friends have contributed their amazing pieces--from original paintings to prints to handmade (adorable) dolls. There's going to be stuff by...

I've even heard that there's going to be a Family Guy poster signed by everyone on the show.

AND, just added, our own Shellaine Corwell has donated a bunch of her jewelry from her Trophy Girl jewelry line. This stuff is SO COOL I want to buy it all!

Seriously, there's going to be some freakin' cool stuff at a variety of prices. And all the money goes to Soren!

Great Reunion!!

Hi everyone,
I can't believe I haven't blogged since before the reunion. First and foremost, thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone involved. The reunion was unbelievable and fun and fantastic and so much more. The fact that the blog continues is a testament to our class and its new-found connection. I am really appreciative. It has been wonderful to continue to read about the lives of fellow classmates that I reconnected with at the reunion. The pictures have been great to see, too - please keep posting! I'm also thrilled to read that another get-together happened at the Sagebrush this weekend. I really hope these continue. It would be a great chance to see people again. And, if anyone happens to be in the Santa Barbara area, please let me know!! Finally, I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas, and mostly, I wish you a very happy, healthy, and wonderful new year.
Your friend,
Sheila Peterson
