Hurricane Relief

This post is to let all of you know what Stampin Up is doing in an effort to help those hit by the devastating hurricanes.
If you are attending the Card Buffet and would like to make a donation, I will accept donations that day and forward them on to Stampin Up. If you are not signed up for the Buffet and would like to stop by, look at some samples of new product and make a donation, please feel free to drop in at 164 Hubbard Street, at Branches Community Church any time between 11am and 4pm.
You may also donate directly by following the link in this email.
This is purely voluntary on your part. I just wanted to get the word out there since it's a way to help and be able to double your donation. I can only imagine what these people are up against.

In This, We Make a Difference

Along with many of you, we are watching with concern as stories unfold about the devastation left behind in Texas and Louisiana by Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey. Though no one knows how many lives have been affected, Harvey is said to be one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, and the damage caused by massive flooding will be felt for years to come.
With you, we’re also trying to stay informed on the progress of Hurricane Irma; as we write this, Irma has not yet made landfall but is currently classified as a catastrophic Category 5 storm. It will almost certainly leave as much destruction in its wake as Hurricane Harvey and will affect the lives of tens of thousands of people.
As a Stampin’ Up! family, we invite you to help us give to those who are now (or will soon be) trying to rebuild their lives. From now until the end of October, Stampin’ Up! will match donations made to the American Red Cross, dollar-for-dollar, for up to $50,000. Please click here to donate.
The Stampin’ Up! community is already making a difference through ongoing hurricane relief efforts. Here are some ways people are raising money.

• Demonstrators are donating a portion of their commissions.
• Demonstrators are holding dedicated events, including retired product sales, where all proceeds are being donated to hurricane relief.
• Customers are being invited to donate at events. 
• Demonstrators are selling unused cards or are mounting past swaps on card bases and selling them (in accordance with the Angel Policy) to raise hurricane relief funds.

If you’re a Stampin’ Up! customer and would like to help, reach out to your demonstrator and see if they are holding any fundraising events you can be a part of, or click here to donate to the American Red Cross.
Together, we can do incredible things! We hope you’ll join us . . . because we truly can make a difference.
