October update

It has been a busy first month for An Orphan Smiles. We have welcomed sixty supporters to our group with numbers growing almost daily. Things have started well with the Mykolaivka book project. We hope to get the library fully stocked by early spring. The winters are bleak for the Mykolaivka children and it's our dream to have a book available for every child who wants to read. It would be great to hear that each student has a book tucked under the mattress to read before lights out every night. We currently have over $500 donated for this cause which is fantastic news.

Our initial organizational meeting will be held the second weekend in November. It is a very exiting time for us all and everyone is welcome to attend. This meeting will be in Denver on November 8. If anyone would like further details please feel free to contact Angie at info@anorphansmiles.org. She will be happy to give to accommodation details for those interested in joining us. At this meeting the board will be elected as well as discussing future plans and programs for us. If you have any suggestions for discussions at the meeting we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to e-mail Angie at the above e-mail address.

A huge thank you to all who have helped An Orphan Smiles get off the ground. We have a great team of donors and friends and we look forward to a bright future.
