3/14 - Sam's Journey - Day 93

Good evening, friends! Today was another very good day for Sam. He was evaluated for the next step in this journey, and they said he was the "perfect candidate" for their program. As we get closer to that transition, I'll give you more details. Also today, they weighed him on the standing scale. His weight continues to go up, but more importantly, they weighed him while he stood up on his own. When Sam wrote "Bigger," I'm not sure if he intended it to be my new mantra, but it's certainly looking like it will be! And finally, in terms of his progress, in honor of March 14th, he wrote out pi to the 5th or 6th place. That boy. He also got a visit from a friend who sent this picture. I call it Sam and Walter: Reunited and It Feels So Good.

While that's all good news, that's not really why I'm writing. A very good friend with much greater organizational skills than I possess has set up a T-shirt sale for #TeamSam! I'm going to execute my cut and paste skills and share the info with you. PLEASE don't feel compelled to buy one. If you do or if you don't, please know we are grateful for your support, whatever form that may take!

Friends/Family of the Loeffler Family (Ann Bougher Loeffler and Jim Loeffler). I have attached a flyer for ordering ‪#‎TeamSam‬ T-Shirts as a fundraiser for the family. I hope you can see the details in the picture below but if not, I've copied/pasted here as well. The store will close on March 31st and then the T-Shirts will be made and delivered to me for mailing/delivery. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to private message me. (If you want to contact Sue, let me know and I'll facilitate.) Feel free to share this information with anyone and everyone…let's fill Sam's room with pictures of his friends and family wearing #TeamSam T-Shirts!

"Please go to https://teamsambenefit2016.itemorder.com/sale or to the Triple Crown Website and click on the Online Store athttp://www.3crownusa.com

Details: Sue Ferretti will be mailing the shirts out after she receives the order (3 weeks after the store closes). For each shirt sold, the Loeffler Family will receive $9. $2 of the purchase price will help offset the shipping expenses. There is Maryland tax and a small processing fee for the online store. You will enter your name twice…once as Player’s name and then again as Customer’s name (sorry for any inconvenience). There is an option at the end of check-out to print your receipt, I would recommend you do so. Please enter the shipping address so Sue know’s where to mail/deliver, and email and phone number in case she has any questions (this information will not be shared with anyone). If there is any grammatical errors here, please disregard…I’m not a teacher. Thank you for your order and for helping out the Loeffler Family. Go #TeamSam!
