BLESS YOUR HEART and please pray for those dressing the little girls.

Thank You....you all helped make it possible!

Much Love, Mary Jo

We Can Do This!





It is just amazing how everyone is SEWING UP A STORM...by the Grace of God we are making the 10,000 dress goal for Cambodia.  As of today...8,784 dresses have been sent to Joe Parker for the OM SHIP. 

We only need 1216 MORE!!!!
 
THIS IS "SEW"  EXCITING....I just love a good challenge!
 
MY QUESTION TO ALL...
DO you have any finished dresses????  

IF so....please email me(or call) and I will set a time to meet you.  THE LAST SHIPMENT will go out Monday August 2oth.  THEN the remainder will accompany the Mission Team when they leave.
 
No need to wait for Dress A Girl on 8/28 to bring in your dresses...we need them now...and of course then, too....as more missionaries will leave within the next month or so.  BUT TO MAKE THIS CHALLENGE....I thank everyone of you for being who you are and for doing all you do!!!
 
Love,
Mary Jo, NYS DAG REP

Happy Birthday DAG Rochester


Today celebrates Rochester's DAG 2nd Birthday!
  • Remember 2 years ago, you were simply trusting God for 100 completed dresses in a one night event?  But yet God provided180 pillowcase dresses!!! 
  • Because the passion for DAG just wouldn't let them quit, do you remember you had to think fast when  the volunteers requested an additional work day?   And then the additional work day evolved into regular monthly meetings?
  • The robust pot luck dinner enjoyed by all volunteers,  evolved from the light snacks that used to be available!
  • The masses of individual women who showed up to answer the call for pillowcase dresses, quickly formed  friendships that continues to grow deeper each day, with reciprocating blessings!
  •  Now, Rochester's passionate commitment to DAG  has led to the tremendous opportunity  to personally deliver 10,000 dresses to the Cambodian countryside!  WHAT A BLESSING!!!!!
  • Look at how God touched your heart to provide 100 dresses for DAG & where it is leading us now? It's exciting to think of the  next step God is leading DAG!

Just a Reminder that DRESS A GIRL is this Tuesday, JULY 24th at St. Cecilia's from 3-8 pm. 
 
Thank you and have a Blessed day!

Thank you, Elena!

And THANK YOU to all of the angels who continue to bless us every day
with your time and your donations. xo






Earlier 100 suits showed up for the Veteran's Outreach center!


 And 10 year old Sydney (next to Elena in the picture above) collected all of this for the Butterfly Boutique!
