The Columbus Medical Mission Team (Nicaragua '13) met today & we had a fantastic meeting. We had lots to cover regarding travel plans, fundraising efforts, ordering supplies, etc., etc. Our big fundraiser will be our spaghetti feed which will be Sunday, December 9th from 12:00-2:00 at Peace Lutheran Church as well as a Christmas bake sale. A new addition that we are having this year during the spaghetti feed is a silent auction of items we purchased from Nicaragua in February. These items are made in Nicaragua and many are from craftsmen in Puerto Cabezas, the town where we work. Some of the items are baskets, jewelry, a wood carving, scarves, etc. We have been very blessed to have gotten our hamburger donated from Cargill as well as spaghetti and spaghetti sauce donated from the Barilla pasta company. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission work through your donations but most importantly, with your prayers.
