So many wonderful folks from the community helped us...
- The Aquatenniel Ambassadors helped with our lemon-aid stand.
- A group of volunteers from St. Paul Heating, Plumbing and Air and students from the U of M helped unload the 3 semis full of mattresses, box springs and frames.
- A group from C H Robinson came and helped put the new bed frames together.
- The Anoka High School football team ran the stairs of the house while lifting the mattresses and box springs.
- Our neighbors at the dental and medical fraternity helped out as the final beds were put into the rooms as the sun went down!
- Many of our regular volunteers came in for extra shifts to help and staff members and their families pitched in too.
- Last, our amazing families even pitched in - moving beds, putting the frames together, vacuuming and being flexible with the chaos.
Here are a couple of fun slide shows of all the excitement....

The Lemon-Aid stand...
Check out these happy, helpful faces... we couldn't have done it without all of you. To those folks who were too speedy to be caught by the camera, thank you!
A show of Paula and Anna in their pink shirts moving mattresses!! They worked hard... and notice Paula walking backward.
2 days of bed moving = crazy fun!
Wow, that was a great week. We all hope next week is this fun! Well, maybe we don't need beds next week!
