Dear Friends and Family,

Can you believe it’s almost been two years since Elliot started school at The Little Light House?! It’s the best thing that’s happened to Elliot! He has grown so much over the past two years. I just read his Classroom Summary Skills for this school year and cried tears of joy at all our little guy has achieved! I would love it if you all would share in that joy with us this year on September 25, 2010. If you don’t remember or we didn’t get to share with you last year, Mini Laps is a morning where we celebrate all the miracles and milestones the kiddos at the Little Light House have accomplished over the past year. Last year we got to celebrate Elliot beginning to walk with his walker! This year we will get to celebrate Elliot WALKING independently around that track! He has mastered walking and loves chasing his sister and brother around or just running in the opposite direction we want him to go. Not only is Elliot walking, but he is talking up a storm! He can say over 60 words! He can recognize his name in print and is starting to recognize letters of the alphabet! Elliot is meeting and exceeding his goals that his therapist and teachers have set for him! (I’m just a little excited, can you tell?

Elliot is motivated by school and all his friends there. He would not be excelling this much without The Little Light House. Did you know that The Little Light House runs solely on private donations? They do not accept any government funding or United Way money. It takes people like you and me who are willing to support them and their wonderful ministry to keep them going. As I sit here and write this letter to you, my eyes are welling up with tears just thinking about this school and how much it has done for just our family, let alone the other 64 families that are enrolled right now. I can’t or don’t want to imagine Elliot’s life without The Little Light House, do you? $5 will make a difference! Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 as a family. Please help us pull together to support Elliot and cheer him on this year! Let’s see how much money we can raise for this wonderful school! So, here is how: Mail your donation in with the enclosed envelope (already stamped for you ) or log onto www. littlelighthouse.org and make an online donation in Elliot’s name, it’s that easy! Thank you all in advance!

Sincerely,

The Bennett Family- Mark, Andrea, Rowin, Elliot, and Maggie
