Calling all Artists!

Are you an artist or know an artist who would enjoy participating in this year's event? If so, please email me. Painters, photographers, quilters, sculptors, ceramicists — this is your chance to shine! We're also trying to line up volunteers who can help before, during, and after the event. If you'd like to volunteer, please call or email.

Our Art for the Children 'Save the Date' postcard goes out soon, so be sure to look for it in the mail! (If you don't receive one in the next week or two, let me know and I'll add you to our mailing list!)

Warehouse Cleanup Day

TOMORROW!

Please join us on Saturday, March 2nd from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at our office (8363 Melrose Dr., Lenexa, KS 66214) for Warehouse Cleanup Day. It sounds like work, but it always ends up being twice the fun!

Watch for Updates on Our Mission to

San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala!

Our first mission of 2024 has been scheduled! San Lucas Toliman is a municipality in the Solola department of Guatemala. The town of 17,000 people sits on the south-eastern shore of Lago de Atitlan. Described as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. The population is 90-95% Highland Maya. There is a population of about the same size living in the surrounding villages.

Well, that about covers it for today. Look for a brand new issue of Mission Matters on the first friday of every month! In the meantime our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages are active and a great place to catch all the very latest news and information about MMF — so stay tuned and be sure to check back regularly!
