LOGOS

LOGOS OUTREACH 2008

We’re Not ‘Kid’ding, 1000 Books Gets the Goat!!

From January 17 until April 3^rd the LOGOS kids will be participating in the “Read to Feed” program sponsored by Heifer International.  The kids will be logging all books read during this 75 day period and getting sponsors to pledge either a flat donation or donation per book read.  We are setting a goal of 1,000 books or 35 books/child.  The kids will also track which books are “Heifer Picks” or books from the church library.  The kids with the most books read from both categories will get a special reward on April 3^rd. 

 

At LOGOS on April 3^rd, each dinner table will choose their animal gift(s) based on the money they have raised.  The animal gifts range from $20 for a flock of chicks to $1000 for four milk-producing animals.  During the Outreach nights at LOGOS, the kids will be learning how these animals have changed lives for families.  The key to success of the program is that Heifer provides extensive training in animal care, ecologically sound agriculture practices and community development.  Another key cornerstone of Heifer International is "passing on the gift." Families who receive an animal repay the loan by passing on one or more of the animals' offspring to other needy families.  Therefore, one gift multiplies through the community.

 

We are very excited to participate in the Read to Feed Program and we’d love it if you would be a part of it to!  You can get involved by sponsoring an individual Logos child or by making a pledge to donate based on our total number of books read.  Come see our posterboards at the back of Wesley Hall and see how we are graphing our progress to 1000 books.  We have pledge sheets there for anyone who is interested. If you have any questions on the program or would like to make a donation or sponsor a child,  contact Heather Shymanski at 734-266-0783 or hshymanski@twmi.rr.com or
