21 Jul 2009 Candle Wishes Board Meeting July 2009
We had a great meeting with the Candle Wishes Board of Trustees this month at Barry and Melanie Shipp’s home. We are beginning to plan for 2010, our 8th year to serve the families of Rutherford County by making the birthday wishes come true for children in need.

We discussed fundraising and building community partner relationships so that Candle Wishes can continue to grow and expand to reach more families. Melissa Shaeffer will serve as Director of the Candle Wishes Chapter in Memphis launching in 2010! Please pray for Melissa as she meets with churches and businesses about their support of the ministry.

It’s so exciting to be a part of this ministry, loving every minute of making a difference in the lives of children and actively helping our neighbors in need. God has truly blessed Candle Wishes with volunteers and donors who have a passion for the ministry. We look forward to the next year and what the Lord has planned for us in the future!
