Friends of Thumbuddy Special:
“That’s because love is never stationary. In the end, love doesn’t just keep thinking about it or keep planning for it. Simple put: love does.”
Bob Goff from his book, Love Does
I am reading Bob Goff’s book now and it reminds me of the powerful results of love that TS has accomplished over the past 20 years. We are starting our next year of doing it. So if you have been thinking about joining us for one of our events, jump in and join the fun! Just do it, the rewards are phenomenal. Here are a couple of dates for you to save….
Saturday, March 2nd, our annual “Winter is Almost Over” Happy Hour at Carlucci Restaurant in Downers Grove. The flier is attached. This is a night filled with outstanding food, plenty of wine and beer. My buddies Brady and Colin will be there with their family. Hope you and your friends can join us.
Friday, April 19th….Bowling is Back! We are returning to Mont Clare Lanes in Chicago for this entertaining filled night! Dust off those bowling shoes. Flier is attached.
Friday, July 19th is our Golf Outing, so save the date and round up your foursomes!
We are in need of raffle and silent auction items for these upcoming events. If you have anything that you would like to donate, let me know and I’ll send my husband John to pick it up! Sport’s tickets, movie passes, restaurant gift certificates, themed baskets, you name it; we will use it!
Just wanted to include a couple of thank yous from the Families that we helped out at Christmas….
“During these hard times right now we could not have had a Christmas if you didn’t help us. We are very grateful and feel truly blessed to have been helped by people like you. You are truly angels, thank you so much.”
Jennifer and Ivan
“You warmed our hearts with your generosity. Seeing my children’s face of excitement and surprise was just the cherry on top. I am so thankful that you helped my family, making this year’s Christmas so touching and loving. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, may God Bless you!”
Tony’s Family
“I write this note to thank you for all the presents we received. You have no idea the happiness we felt when we saw our son opening his gifts. It was a very special moment for us. For this I give thanks to God and to you for all your help.”
Grateful for everything!

Right now we are working on our “Kids on the Go” scholarship. We are blessed to be teaming up with Rich Riscutti, (formerly known as “Santa” on the Polar Express) who is helping us find the perfect ride for our friends Yalina and Gilbert. These 2 Special families will be receiving a “like new” van with a lift. I’ll update you with the latest in the February email.
Hope to see you soon!
As Always, “Love Does” Thank you for doing it!!
God Bless
