April Crop A Huge Success!
Thank you for attending!
|
The crop ended just a few weeks ago and I am still thrilled with the good times we had. We gave away over $3,500 in prizes and gifts!
Congratulations to those who won our layout contests! Michelle Parker and Kathy Young. Araceli Baker won the grand prize of the Heidi Swapp Minc Foil Applicator. We also had several other contests for the food drive (see below), a secret contest, a contest for wearing a Crops
Plus shirt over the course of a weekend. Congratulations to all who won!

April Food Drive
Over 500 pounds of food and toiletries donated!
|
Once again, at the April crop, we held a food drive to help those in need. We donated the food to Link, INC, a charity that exists to provide emergency food to people in need in the Herndon, Sterling, and Ashburn, Virginia communities.
We far exceeded our goal, which was to beat the 500 pounds of food that we had donated last April. A HUGE THANK YOU to all who participated and helped shuttle all the goods to Carrie's car (see photo below). We received the following email from Carrie at LINK:
"On behalf of LINK I wish to thank you for the support and generosity your business and enthusiastic croppers shared with us. To all of you who helped - We say thank you! Need is great and demand on businesses, groups, and individuals continues to grow. Thank you for choosing to offer your time, generosity and commitment to LINK. I assure you that all donations, large or small, make a big difference.
LINK depends entirely on volunteers and donations for every aspect of its daily commitments and holiday programs. It is because of your commitment to helping the community that many in need were able to benefit from these events. It is our hope that your group and its donors enjoyed the experience and will want to partner with LINK again in the future."
THANK YOU!

2016 Crops Plus Dates
Announced next month!

I just met with the hotel today and have held the 2016 dates. We will have crops in January, April, September and November. I am also considering holding another crop in July. But am unsure about it and could use some feedback. If you would like to see a July 2016 crop, email me below and let me know!
The rest of the dates will be announced next month in the June newsletter once the contracts are all finalized!

Tee Shirts for Charity
Another way to give back and win prizes!
|
 As you can tell by our website and this newsletter, we recently rebranded. New look, new logo and that means new tee shirts as well! We haven't sold tee shirts since 2011 and now is the perfect time! PLUS, wear it at a crop for the chance to win great prizes and give a little back.
We are selling these adorable v-neck tee shirts for $25. All of the proceeds will go to Bethany House, a domestic violence shelter in Northern Virginia. Bethany House was organized to help women and their children who have suffered from domestic violence regain health and dignity and become re-established in their community by providing temporary housing and support. In 2014, we were able to donate over $600 to Bethany House!
You can choose to have the shirt shipped to you for an additional fee or you can pick it up at any one of our crops. As an added bonus, at each crop, we will have a special prize drawing for anyone caught wearing a Crops Plus shirt over the course of the weekend.
Be sure to get yours before we sell out so that you can also be eligible to win and give back to the community. You can order your shirt here: http://www.ourcropsplus.com/#!crops-plus-tee-shirts/cf9y
Note: We will have all sizes once again available at the April crop.
