Family Reunion Silent Auction  Donate's Proceeds to Dylan's Dream On June 26, 2005, the Bailey family reunion was held in St. Mary's County, Maryland. One of the many fun activities held was a Silent Auction which consisted of many different item's donated by family members to raise money for Dylan's Dream and the American Heart Association. From this auction Dylan's Dream received $220.00. I would like to take this opportunity to thank this wonderful group of people, I am very proud to call my family; for your continuous love and support!! I Love You All Very Much! Kim

Baker Roofing Employees Raise money to support children with cancer and their families The employees at "Baker Roofing Company" are doing wonderful things in support of Dylan's Dream. On December 22, 2005, the employees of Baker Roofing presented me with a check for $2,720.00. They held bake sales, biscuit and gravy breakfast's, raffles and much more throughout the year to raise money for Dylan's Dream. I can't say enough about these incredible people who have unselfishly given so much of themselves to help children with cancer.

St. John of the Apostle Church Outreach Committee Support June 2005                                On behalf of the SJA Outreach Committee I would like to thank everyone very much for their support and generous contributions to Dylan’s Dream during the month of June. Our time in the commons area proved to be very productive. Many items were received (from the tags) to assemble the "Smiles-In-A-Box" and the "Parent Care Packages". A drop off box will be available in the commons for any last minute items purchased (from the tags) and will continue to be available into the month of July for your convenience. We received $308.00 in cash donations, sold a total of 26 Cookbooks and between the church and the school received a little over 100 cell phones for our recycling fundraiser program. Due to the exposure received while in the commons area Dylan’s Dream was also very blessed to become the new philanthropy of a wonderful company "Baker Roofing" owned and operated by one of our parishioners. Again, thank you very much and may God Bless you all. If you have any questions concerning "Dylan's Dream" please visit the web site www.dylansdream.com or contact Kim Agren at 434-3513.

RECYCLING PROGRAM FUNDRAISER Dylan’s Dream together with St. John The Apostle Catholic School and Church Starting Date: August 01, 2004 End Date: Ongoing If you have old Cell Phones, Digital Camera's, PDA's, Lap Top Computer's or even used printer cartridges that you are about to throw into the trash -WAIT- they can all be used as part of our recycling fundraiser. Please send an email to dylansdream@cox.net or kimberlyagren@cox.net so that you can donate these items and arrangements can be made to get the devices to my location. Thank You!! The company we have decided to deal with is EcoPhones. EcoPhones has set out to preserve the environment while at the same time supporting the groups that have dedicated their lives to social service. EcoPhones allows groups to generate the funding they need to turn their goals into reality, and change the scope of their organization permanently. What does EcoPhones do with the cell phones it collects? Older used cell phones that cannot be reused, and thus do not have any economic value, are recycled in accordance with state and federal EPA guidelines.  EcoPhones utilizes Recycle Alliance of America, a subsidiary of Waste Management as its e-waste recycling agent. EcoPhones maintains ‘Certificates of Destruction’ documentation on file. Used cell phones that have an economic value are refurbished and reused in markets utilizing compatible wireless technologies such as North and South America. Reuse reduces the depletion of our Earth's finite resources. The proceeds from the resale of these used cell phones enables EcoPhones to continually expand its recycling efforts and provide less fortunate people a means of obtaining an inexpensive cellular phone.
