Melvin Party Update

I've had a few people tell me with guilty eyes that they are not able to make it to the Melvin Homecoming Party on October 14th, a.k.a. the support gathering event prior to my surgery date.  

It's okay--we had a hard time finding a weekend that worked for us in the first place.  And that doesn't mean that there are not still some ways that you can help out.  Below is the list of components that will be at the Melvin Party, if you would like to get on a sign-up or contribute in one of those areas.

  • I will be collecting jokes for a laugh on those low days.  
  • I will be collecting suggestions for binge-watching shows on Netflix and Hulu.
  • If you cannot be there to sign up for something, you can certainly still sign up for a few things.  Most notably, the check up on Andy sign-up sheet is something that anyone can sign up for, regardless of where you are in the world.  If anyone would like to be added to this list or any of the following, please let me know:
    • Odd Jobs--help with the household chores that get neglected in light of all else
    • Taxi duty--be a random ride for Larissa or Andy
    • Come play a game with Larissa
    • Come watch a movie with Larissa
    • There is a meal sign-up, but I am reserving this more specifically for the event, since I'm still hammering out dates
    • The aforementioned "Check in on Andy" sign up
  • For those looking to bring or give items, the following are helpful
    • Chicken and Stars soup (really, the best thing when you're feeling low)
    • Saltines
    • Sprite Zero
    • Pepto Bismol
    • Gas X
    • Preparation H Flushable Wipes or similar products that are septic safe
    • CeraVe Cleanser
    • Chlorox or similar antibacterial wipes (for surfaces)
    • Chocolate
  • And if nothing else, helping cover those additional expenses along the way is also appreciated.  We have an option set up online if you click here.
For those of you that cannot make it, again, it's okay--your presence is still appreciated in prayers and how you love us.

For those of you who can, look forward to seeing you there!
