the mighty max update: upcoming fundraiser to benefit children!

We are gearing up for our sixth annual 20 Hour Benefit Crop...and we'd love for YOU to join in the fun!

20 Hour Crop Fundraiser
(sponsored by Treasury of Memories)
April 17-18, 2009
5pm Friday - 1pm Saturday

Together, we hope to raise over $10,000 to benefit Children's Hospital and The SISU Children's Fund. Each attendee is asked to raise $100 (or more)...and in turn, you'll be treated to a fun mini book kit, goodie bag, great sales throughout the night at Treasury, and of course, delicious food!

Please join with us in helping children and their families that are going through difficult times...it's amazing what a group of scrapbookers can make happen together!

For more information, please contact Treasury of Memories at 360-715-3125. Hope to see you at the crop!

charge syndrome

CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.
