Year End Report for 2009
We hope you’ve been having a blessed holiday season. Connections wants to take a moment to thank you all for another great year in the life of our band.
2009 was one of our biggest years yet. We played seven shows in front of thousands of people, and raised over $25,000 for our two worthy beneficiaries.
This included our biggest single show ever, fund-raising-wise, at FUMC Garland in mid-summer.
We debuted our new “SuperHits of the 70s” show in September, and we look forward to playing it several times in early 2010.
We thought you might be interested in seeing some of the specifics...sort of an “Annual Report” for the band.....
Here are the specifics of the funds we raised for mission.
To date, we’ve played 24 shows where offerings have been taking, since our very first show in 2006. Those shows have now raised almost $75,000 for our two missional causes, UMCOR and “Nothing But Nets.”
Here’s the breakdown
by beneficiary. Almost three quarters of the funds
we’ve raised have gone to “Nothing But Nets,” with
just over $21,000 going to UMCOR.
Finally, here’s a
breakdown of the funds raised per year:
As always, we are so
grateful to each of you who come out to hear our band
play. We’re grateful to all the venues/churches who
host us. And we’re grateful to God for allowing us to
be a part of such a great endeavor.
We’re looking toward 2010!!
Please check out the “Shows” section of our website
for additions to the schedule now.
Our first shows in 2010 are on January 22nd
(Northaven), and Feburary 5th (Rockwall). So, mark
your calendars now!
Peace and love to you in this holiday season,
Connections
