"GIG" Alert 11-25-2012

 

11-25-2012:  Week in WRAP

Christmas songs were sung, many delicious pizzas were eaten, pictures were taken with a jolly Santa, and a beautiful Christmas tree was decorated. On Friday, November 23rd, a community came together for a special little girl named Adrianna. We are so, so happy to share with everyone that we raised a total of $1600!!! We cannot say thank you enough for all the prayers and support! A HUGE thanks goes out to the Mud Puddle Brick Oven Pizza in East Peoria, Mrs. Watson's second grade class (made over 50 ornaments), Scott Lauss (Santa), Cole Smith (donated Adrianna's tree), Teresa Lemkemann (face painting), Pete Driscoll and the EPCHS Chorus, Jeff Mosher and the Elite Drumline, Natalie Chapman (sang Amazing Grace), members of RSQAURED, our families, friends, and ALL of our supporters! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 

Please see the attached picture of Adrianna, Santa, and the RSQAURED volunteers! I have also attached the picture of Adrianna putting her angel on top of the Christmas tree.

One more exciting thing happened tonight! The RSQAURED Facebook page has reached over 100 likes!!! Our weekly "GIG" Alert and Facebook really help us stay in contact with our followers and supporters. If you have not yet liked us on Facebook, check out our page HERE. Once there, you can also find more pictures from Light the Night.

Have a SUPER fantastic start to your week everyone! The holiday season is upon us :)

R SQUARED "GIG ALERT"

Week of November 18th, 2012

______________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Week in WRAP

Happy Monday everyone! Wow, Light the Night is less than a week away! We are so, so excited to see what God has planned for the evening.

Again, we want to open up the invitation to everyone! There will be something for all ages to enjoy from pictures with Santa, live music, face painting, fresh pizza hot out of the brick oven, a bunch of green RSQAURED shirts, but most importantly, you can help make this an unforgettable night for Adrianna. I spoke with Adrianna's mom today and she said Adrianna was so excited for Friday that she asked if they could go out and buy a dress (she picked out a black and white one!) If you are able to attend Friday, be sure to stay until 8:00PM. At that time, the Christmas tree that everyone decorated throughout the night will be dedicated to Adrianna and her family. One lucky person will have the chance to help Adrianna put her angel on top of the tree!

Most importantly, we want this to be a night where Adrianna has the spotlight, where she is taken away from the hospital and doctors and nurses, where she can be immersed in a community that shows endless love and support for her! Help us make Light the Night a dream come true for Adrianna. Have a SUPER fantastic week everyone and a blessed Thanksgiving. See you Friday!

-Tim

R SQUARED "GIG ALERT"

Week of November 11th, 2012

Week in WRAP

1. Recent News

So many exciting things have been happening in the realm of RSQAURED lately! First, I want to share with everyone a story about the attached picture. In the photo, you will see Bill and his grandson Brandon wearing our green RSQAURED shirt. If any of you have one of our shirts, you will notice a signature on the front at the bottom of the "R." That signature belongs to Brandon, and he is the master mind behind the design of our shirt. This past Friday, Brandon finally received his first shirt, and by the smile on his face I think he liked the design :) 

2. Light the Night for Adrianna

Much has also been happening with Light the Night! God has blessed us in so many ways these past few weeks and I need to share a few of the stories.

First of all, two weeks ago I was in class and received a call from Adrianna's mom. She told me that the East Peoria Courier called her and was looking for my phone number because they wanted to do a story on Light the Night. Still to this day, I do not know how they found out about the event, but I have a feeling the Lord was at work. Please check out the article by clicking HERE

We have also been hard at work trying to find a Santa. I have been asking all of my family, friends, co-workers, classmates, and everyone in search of a Santa! This week, Noah and I became desperate and made a jaunt down to Bass Pro. I knew they had the "North Pole" set up in their store, so I wanted to see if their Santa would be available for us. Turns out, they rent their Santa from Michigan and he sleeps in an RV in the parking lot through all of December. Instead, the manager gave me the name of a guy she remembered from years ago that might be around. That night, Noah and I found his work number online and I called only to leave a voice mail. I never heard back from him again until this Saturday when I received a call from an unknown number. The caller was our Santa! I spent a good 30 minutes on the phone talking with him about the Gospel and how dressing up as Santa has brought him closer to God. While on the phone, I felt like I was truly talking with Santa Claus. I know God was at work in this situation, and cannot wait to see what else He has planned for Light the Night.

Have a blessed week everyone!

-Tim
