The Mortgage Burn
We did another very exciting thing the night of our staff party!! WE BURNED THE MORTGAGE! Yes, a 20 year mortgage reduced to THREE thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor and a whole handful of people who thought it was important to help pay the last $20,000 before Christmas.
When we found out we had so little to pay once the two huge donations came in from our anonymous friends we quickly scrambled to make THIS thermometer:
We then wrote our staff and volunteers and asked if they could help fill up the thermometer. In a few short weeks, we met our goal!The burning was done by the Cooks of both Missions. Heather and Aaron turned out the lights, and set the mortgage on fire in a cooking pan!
Everyone cheered! You gotta love those flames Carolyn cut out for the top of our thermometer, eh?!
It was inspiring to see the staff and volunteers at Soul's Harbour so happy for us. We are so grateful for their partnership.

Those flames do look pretty good! But they only look good because of the look and response Jon Hack gave me when I showed him my first attempt! He said, "Well, I guess that's better than I could do..." in a less-than-enthusiastic sort of way! So I tried again.
And hey, I printed out the "Mortgage Burn" reel. I'll learn it and play it for you on Tuesday! =)
Thermo is on FIRE!
