A Sara Hickman eNewsletter for January 8, 2009

Hello, Everyone, and HAPPEEEE NEW YEAR! Let's all celebrate this new year with faithful anticipation of good things to come!
I am surrounding President Obama with positive prayers that he and his team can create a healthy new landscape for the United States.

This is a short newsletter! Just the facts, Jack! First, here's some info about the above photo: me with Super Pal Universe at the 2008 Chuy's Blue Christmas parade. Taken by Doug Elenz, dad of Aubrey (with the big smile and dark hair!) Take a good look at these fabulous kids: they are off and running in the talent department, I promise you! You will hear many things from them in the future.

LOOKING FOR SUPPORT:
I wanted to post a wish list here for an amazing group I am involved in:
AAIM (Austin Area Interreligious Ministries). As a board member, I am trying to bring more awareness and support in different areas. So, today, I would like to ask for your support in supplying grocery gift cards for our refugee services. Part of AAIM's mission is to help teach ESL (English as a Second Language) to refugees in the Austin community. We try to provide food during the day (light lunches, snacks/drinks for the adults and children participating). If you would like to help with this endeavor, please send gift cards to:

Austin Area Interreligious Ministries (AAIM)

Until next time,
I wish you love, I wish you well!
