Hello, Pro-life Heroes
A special thanks to all those Church Representatives who put in the hard work for the Mother’s Day carnations! Thanks also to the Pastors who generously allowed LIFESPAN to offer the carnations at your churches! We heard some feedback on May 8 for the carnation pick-up, but post-event please offer us some feedback regarding if you liked the live carnations or preferred chocolate roses or silk flowers from past years. Any other suggestions for improvement will be considered as well. If we do live carnations again next year, we will make sure to hole-punch the tags in advance. We can’t hand out buckets with flowers because it would require 100+ buckets to serve all participants.
A Father’s Day chocolate bar order form has been e-mailed to Church Representatives. We also have limited quantities of “Thanks Dad for Life” pens available. Please reply with your order by no later than Thursday, May 27. We ask you to order by the box and each box contains 60 individually wrapped chocolate bars. Each box includes assorted flavors including Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Chocolate Almond, and Chocolate Wafer. We can return any unopened boxes and a couple of Christian bookstores offer them for donation, so estimate on the high side of your needs and you can return extra boxes and bars to our office. They are easier to pick up and transport than the Mother’s Day carnations. We will simply ask you to find a convenient time to pick up your order the week before Father’s Day, which is June 20. To place your order, either call 734-422-6230 or e-mail our office at wcdr@rtl-lifespan.org
Join us for the LIFESPAN Pro-Life Legislative Luncheon on Saturday, June 19. State Senator Lana Theis of District 22 (Livingston and part of Washtenaw counties) will provide the Legislative Updates. Christian apologist and radio host Bob Dutko will be the Keynote Speaker. It is at the AOH Hall in Redford. Doors open at 10:30 am, the program begins at 11 and concludes at about 1:30 pm. With current social distancing requirements, we can accommodate a capacity of around 100 attendees, so call and order your tickets today! Please post the final Pro-Life Legislative Luncheon flier in your church vestibule and in the church bulletin if possible!
The flier for the inaugural LIFESPAN Links for Life Charity Golf Outing is included in these church notes. The outing is on Monday, September 13. Between now and then, please also post this in your church vestibule and in the bulletin. The biggest thing to encourage right now is hole sponsors. If you or someone close to you owns a business or is part of a men’s or women’s church group or Knights of Columbus council or community group, this would be an ideal way to receive public recognition with a sponsor sign at one of the 18 holes and to network with other pro-life supporters. Please e-mail tpruse@lifespan.org or call 248-376-7071 to register a foursome for golf or inquire about becoming an event sponsor!
