First Annual Robynn Goodell Blood Drive EVENT!

Hi All!

It's time for our first annual blood drive in Robynn's honor!!! We'd love to have you join us if you can and if not, please join us in spirit at least! :)

We will be hosting a bake sale that will benefit a needy family or organization in Robynn's name and honor :) Joan and Jenni (Robynn's mom and sister) will be selecting who will receive these funds and those of YOU who can attend will benefit from baked goods and other yummy treats from West Sac's finest! ;) Also, there will be a lemonade stand run by Gage Johnson (aka son of Dina and Guy) so whether you want something sweet or are thirsty for a good glass of lemonade, we hope to see you there!! Bring yourself and a few dollars to spend ;)

See you soon ~
Tuesday, June 2nd from 2:00 - 6:00 PM!
Our Lady of Grace School, Linden Avenue, West Sacramento
Blood drive in gym, other activities outside.

For bake sale inquiries please contact Nicole Winger at ninix9@aol.com

Long time, no post! It's May 2009!

Hi All :)

Wow, time flies! I told you all I was giving extra time and such for you to heal and be ready to work on a special memory book for Brian, Brady and Hailey... well... it's now feeling like time to wrap it up! The goal for any last entries will be Thursday, May 14th. I will plan to finish it up shortly after that so that it can be delivered to the family :)

Please feel free to contact me with any questions: kfunkcreates@sbcglobal.net

All details are listed below (see "For the Love of Robynn") and remember, the most important part is size - pages need to be 8 inches by 8 inches or smaller... or they won't fit!

Thank you to all of you who have submitted something!

Kim Funk :)

No more deadline... no more stress... join us in Robynn's book project!

I have lifted the deadline on Robynn's book - this is a labor of love by all involved so let's focus on that instead of the WHEN it needs to be done by okay? Will touch base on progress soon :)

* Just remember - no larger than 8 inches by 8 inches please - or it won't fit :) * and yes, it's okay if it's more than one page *
Scroll down for full details.

Have a good weekend all!

Kim

More fun in the mailbox today! :)

Today I received envelopes from... April in Antelope, The Oxford Gang in Bakersfield AND Darcy (Hansen) Pecoraro!! This is getting to be like Christmas!!! All of the messages are so special - who will be next!!!?? Keep 'em coming and remember, if you're not quite ready, just keep me posted so I know, okay? Try to keep them 8 inches by 8 inches please so they'll fit, but so far they're all perfect!

(this way, you don't have to scroll down!)

Oh, I'm excited! The book is starting to come together!

Last time I wrote, I told you that we'd received such things as messages of how someone met Robynn and notes from children, but today we received more! They're starting to roll in, which is exciting! Today I had mail from Christine Booth (Bako Girl) AND Grandma Beverly (Hansen)! We all remember when Grandma Beverly brought her beautiful crafty items to the West Sac Blood Drive/Silent Auction right? Anyway, both envelopes had beautiful pictures included and very special messages for Brian, Brady and Hailey!

YOUR TURN!!! I have heard from a few of you that your "stuff" is in the works - thanks! If you haven't started yet, NO WORRIES. There is still time. Although the goal was to have everything collected by January 31st, I realize now that maybe it wasn't realistic... maybe I was pushing a little and it was just a little too soon and too sad for some of you. SO, if you haven't started but want to participate, please just drop me a little message and let me know, okay? We want everyone who wants to be a part of this to be included!

To those of you have already submitted something ~ thanks so much :)

With big smiles for Robynn =)
(That smile was how Robynn did them in her emails)

For the Love of Robynn ~

Wow. Did Robynn fight this year OR WHAT? I am in awe - totally and completely! The love of life that she showed all of us has inspired me to start a new project for the family - please join me in this!

"For the Love of Robynn" is a book that is going to be created with TLC by a few of the West Sac Girls. We are going to collect special messages, pix and the likes and compile them into a special collection for Brian, Brady and Hailey.

Here's how you can help make this EXTRA special :) Since we want to make this book filled with love (or even oozing with love!), we would love for you to provide a special message in your own handwriting. (I know, computers are sooo much easier!). OR at the very least (second choice)... computer printed but signed by you :)

We are looking for:

• Special messages sharing what you loved about Robynn, why you'll miss her, what you learned from her, what cracked you up about her or whatever YOU would like to share with her sweet family.
• Pictures. We'd love to have you include 1 or 2 (max) regular sized photos to go with YOUR message. A picture of Robynn would be great if you have one, but if you have a favorite of your family that you'd like to share that would be AOK too ~ we'll leave it up to you.
• LOVE. Yes! The most important ingredient is that you write or create this with LOVE :)

Specifics. If you'd like to create a page yourself, kindly make it no larger than 8" by x 8". You may do that, or simply submit your few items and we will attach them to a page for you and of course add a little extra TLC (Simple, right?). There are no other rules! Black and white, colors, whatever you would like to use will be AOK with us. We will collect items for this project through January 31st and then put them all together to give to Brian and the kiddos for Valentine's Day. This will not be considered a surprise ~ so it's okay to bring it up. :)

Robynn and Brian family members... yes, this means you too! This is not only a great way to share the love but also a way to make you smile while you are healing as well :)
