Big day


It's a big day today. This morning was the songsters Christmas Cantata. I thought it went very well and Alastair brought a good message. Immanuel : God is with us.
This evening is our Christmas concert at the Montclair Sate University. Yogi Berra will be there. Chip Kelly and my husband helped write the speech Yogi will read. His wife Carmen is on our Advisory Board. Governor Cody will also be there to receive the "Others" award. One of his last appearances as acting Governor of New Jersey. A local school's chorus will also be there. Our advertising for this concert has been in papers, local restaurants and stores and on the Christian radio. We are expecting at the very least 200 people.
Immanuel
God is with us.
Be with us Lord.
Next week is toy shop and the last week for kettles.
Christmas is almost here!
Vacation is almost here!
Immanuel!

Update: The concert went well. VERY well around 400 or so people in attendance. Yogi got choked up on reading his speech about what the Army does in our community.

God was with us! He blessed our efforts and to HIM be all the glory!!

I am a red sox fan too! My family would disown me if they ever thought otherwise. But it's Yogi!!

He said last night:"It is so great to be associated with people who are trying to help others. It is so hard these days since a nickle isn't worth a dime anymore!"
