To our Faithful TJM Scholarship Fund Supporters,
Wow, what a week it has been for our state and nation; such an interesting period of history to be living in as we all try to navigate through these rocky waters, make decisions, and settle into new (temporary) rhythms!
Like every other event team across the state, we have been closely monitoring the response to COVID-19 and the governmental recommendations. We had every intent and desire to proceed with our event when the recommendations were groups less than 50, but when the recommendations decreased, yet again, to groups less than 10, we knew the wise and prudent thing to do for the protection of all, sadly, was to cancel our semi-annual event scheduled for this weekend.
We have immensely appreciated your past presence and support at our TJM Craftastic event, and genuinely hope we will have the opportunity to reschedule this event in the next few months. Because we are in unchartered territory with these governmental regulations/recommendations and the impacts of this unprecedented virus, we simply cannot begin to even guess when we would be able to reschedule, but we can HOPE for God’s mighty hand to work powerfully and swiftly to protect and bring us back to our norms…including scrapbooking! 😊 If we are unable to reschedule in the next few months, please remember we have our fall event already on the calendar for November 13-14, 2020.
Because we have high hopes of seeing you at our next scheduled event, we would propose keeping record of your payment for this event to apply to the next event you attend. If, however, you would prefer a refund, please let us know and we will gladly make those arrangements.
Our prayers are with all of you and your families! Just as we experienced in the aftermath of Tracie’s loss, we know great things can come out of times of our greatest hardships and receiving the support of great family and friends is paramount to overcoming the obstacles that life sends our way. We stand with our nation in faith, prayer, and love expecting, believing, and trusting that all will be well!
May God Bless you all richly,
Stacie and Irene

Tracie Joy McBride Scholarship Campaign 2020
Several years ago, we began an annual scholarship fund to remember my sister, Tracie Joy McBride, who died tragically in 1995 at the age of 19. This year marks the year that Tracie has been gone 25 years , so the goal of our campaign is to show the exponential impact her life had despite its shortened time frame. We would love your help to keep Tracie's memory alive by supporting our 13th Annual Tracie Joy McBride Scholarship Fund Campaign and learning more about our mission through our Facebook page (search Tracie Joy McBride Scholarship Fund), and our website.
The funds raised are used to bless those who have sacrificed their life and their families in service to our country. Watch our Facebook page for upcoming projects.
