Greetings! 
 

It doesn't seem possible that May is actually here already. The days have been so beautiful lately, who would believe that three short weeks ago the people of Raleigh were seeking shelter in their basements?

I was actually on a soccer field in Concord when I heard that a tornado had been spotted in Apex.  I followed everyones' lead on the sidelines and whipped out my cell, sending my "partner in crime" a joking text of "Better batten' down the hatches.  I hear strong winds are coming your way!"  You could've bought me for two cents when Chris immediately responded "Got the WRAL warning call and we're in the basement!"  My heart sank and once again I thought, "Nice job Tonya!  You play too dang much!"

Chris and I both are so thankful that for the most part it seems like those we know had little to no damage from the storm situation.  We struggled with how we could help, thinking that because we were slow to start... there might not be a need.  Now however, we realize that it's never too late.  A number of schools that we support still have families in need.  We're sure so many of you have helped in some way, but just in case you were wanting to but never quite got around to it, Rock It Learning would appreciate your help.

For the next two weeks, please feel free to drop off gift certificates to grocery stores or restaurants, diapers, and wipes at our office.  On May 23rd we'll deliver the donations to the schools that contacted us for support.

Thanks for your efforts to help those in need.
