Good morning, everyone. Is this loud enough for everyone?

Hello. So I have one announcement. I say my day the last week, last week we launched this fundraising drive for Save the Children. And so it's partly a follow-up and announcing it again. For this week, for like eight days or so, we were focused as a community on supporting Save the

Children. And this is a long-term, long-time, one of the premier best-rated charities or

humanitarian organizations in the world focused on caring for children, especially in areas of great distress.

And they have an emergency fund for those who are in over-distress and great emergency places

like Gaza and Sudan.

And we raised money for them three years ago, and we raised money for them three years ago.

And then we were surprised.

I didn't know what to expect, but there was $70,000.

I thought that was pretty cool coming out of our community.

So we're doing it again now.

And we're close to that goal on the, on the, if you donate, you'll end up on a page,

and if you follow the links on IMC's website, you'll get to a page on Save the Children,

which is for IMC, so they're tracking how much is coming in from us.

And right now there's about $53,000.

And then another $10,000 or so has come in in other ways

that is not listed there.

So that's like $63,000. And that's pretty close. And that's kind listed there. So that's like $63,000.

That's pretty close.

And that's kind of inspiring.
