No Need to Break the Piggy-Bank

“Your Retreat Savings Envelope”

This is a new idea for us, and I think it has had a very positive response.  We have made this printed envelope available for anyone who is making an effort to save up for our November retreat.  As our economy has worsened, the cost of the retreat has become prohibitive for some.  And yet, we know that there are small ways that we all can cut back on a weekly basis, and those dollars can add up.  This savings envelope is just a tool that some may find effective in helping them save up for the retreat.  If nothing else, it serves as a reminder that there is a good reason to skip Starbucks or that fast food lunch.

We are glad to provide this if it can help even a couple of our ladies budget for the retreat.  One of our ladies told me that she has been putting $10 a week in the envelope.  By November, she will easily have enough to pay for the retreat and maybe even a fun meal with friends on the way to the retreat.  “It’s awesome to have the retreat paid for without impact to the budget.  It feels good!”
