We have a glass artist coming!

We are really excited about our first fundraiser this Friday, April 16!   It has turned from being a wine tasting into being a wonderful art show as well!   Our newest member to join our fundraiser is a glass artist.  She created the window above in her house!
She makes beautiful works of art!  Here are some samples of her hand made work.

We are so blessed to have so many creative people in our lives who are willing to share their time and talents with our non-profit to help students!
Hope you can join us!

Another artist for our North Star Bridge fundraiser!

Kelly Houle is a natural history artist, poet, and children's book author/illustrator who lives in Fountain Hills, Arizona.  She is a former science teacher, and currently tutors students in math, science, and writing when she isn't in her "drawing room" or caring for her two-year-old son.   

Kelly is coming to our first annual fundraising event at The Kokopelli Bistro & Winery on April 16th and bringing her original artwork with her.  She has graciously offered to donate a portion of her proceeds to The North Star Bridge Project!   Thank you so much, Kelly!

"Allen's Hummingbird Family," Kelly M. Houle, 2009, watercolor on Arches Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper. 

This original watercolor, along with the Giglee prints she has left, will be on sale that evening.

Our First Fundraiser!

We are excited to have our first fundraiser coming up in a couple weeks!   

Join us at the Kokopelli Bistro & Winery on Friday, April 16th for live music, wine tasting and fantastic food!

We will also have several artists on hand selling their amazing works and donating a portion of their sales to The North Star Bridge Project.

Boston artist, Diana Gaikazova, has allowed us to sell her heart pendants on an ongoing basis, with 20% of all sales going directly to helping our students!   We will have quite a few of her beautiful hearts on hand that evening!

Mark your calendars!   We would love to see you there!

Still growing!

Today we interviewed a nursing student for our program.  He brought his wife and baby daughter and it was a wonderful meeting.     We should be able to get back to him later this week and let him know the final decision.

Earlier this week we interviewed someone for our executive director position!   We are still in discussion with board about the interview and her resume.     Hopefully we will have an answer on this front during the week as well.   It has been a very exciting week!

Valentine's Day Fundraiser for North Star Bridge!

I am so blessed to have such wonderful, creative and generous friends! The amazing Diana Gaikazova has graciously sent me some of her beautiful heart pendants to sell as a fundrasier for our non-profit. 20% of all proceeds will benefit The North Star Bridge Project!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner!!

 

Starting the new year out right!

Today we were contacted by 2 potential North Star students!   The word is spreading and we are so excited to have you beside us on our journey!

Meet one of our families!

Tonight we enjoyed the company of the newest family to our program.

 

They shared a meal with us in our home, and their girls enjoyed playing with our boys and our dog (the cats were hiding).   We gave the girls the gifts that were donated by you,  and they were very excited!

Our youngest son was especially entertaining, as seen in these photos.   He had the girls giggling ALL night long!!!  They should all sleep well tonight! :)

 

Their girls have such wonderful hearts and contagious laughs!

 

Our student has her board exam coming up in January, and we were pleased to tell her that, with your help, we are able to pay for her board exam in full.   She was so relieved and excited that she was crying!   It is such a joy to be able to tell someone they can follow their dream!

Her husband enjoyed watching his family have a wonderful time.  It was a sense of peace for him, knowing his family will make it through this difficult time.

We feel so blessed by all of you to be able to help families like this create a bridge to their North Star!

Thank you all so much!   Have a very Merry Christmas and an incredibly blessed New Year!
