A note from Emily...

April 16, 2011

"Hello All!  I hope you are all having a wonderful spring and are taking awesome photos outside with blooming flowers and such for our calendar!! (hint!)

In an effort to make communicating with you much more efficient, I will be using the Henan Kids Blog (www.henankids.blogspot.com ) almost entirely for announcements, etc.  Before we had the blog, it would take me up to 4+ hours to create the newsletter, convert it to pdf file, and then email it to over 500 people (I had to individually select each and every single person's email in order to send it).  And with 5 kids, homeschooling, and just life in general, this was just not working.  However, with the blog, it may only take me 5 minutes to put up a quick announcement- or a detailed post with pictures may take 20-30 minutes- tops. I hope y'all understand!  And this will also mean less email for you all to contend with as well.   If you would like to be involved with HKI as far as announcements, projects, fundraisers, pictures, connecting with other families, I strongly encourage you to go there now and bookmark it.  Sometimes I only post once a week, other times (like this week!) it may be 7!!! But check in every few days or once a week and look at the posts.  Yesterday I posted a letter from Josh Zhong, head of CCAI- he emailed it to me early to share with you on the blog.  We have LOTS of projects needing funding (especially Zhengzhou and ZhouKou families!!!) - and all the pictures and updates will now be only on the blog.  We are currently having a fundraiser with 31 Gifts- we have already raised $159-- if you'd like to shop for a cause- follow this link:

I will continue to mass email everyone when important things are coming (like calendar sales, new fundraiser) but all reminders and details will be on the blog.  I hope you all have a wonderful week!"
