Exciting
News– Writely Sew And Aubrey Rose Apparel
The
Aubrey Rose Foundation has some very exciting news: we would like to announce
that we are NOW in the embroidery/embellishment business. From scratch,
we have formed the businesses, Writely Sew and Aubrey Rose Apparel,
that will be able to fill your apparel needs. The reason for these two
businesses is that it is in perfect alignment with the mission of the
Aubrey Rose Foundation.
The purpose of Writely Sew is serving schools, fraternities,
sororities, and small businesses, as well as other non-profit organizations
in order to save them some precious funds. In addition, we will be developing
a line of children’s clothing with each piece having a tag that
will tell Aubrey Hollenkamp’s story of her journey through open-heart
surgeries and a heart and double lung transplant. What better way of telling
her story than having it attached to kids clothing!
The most awe-inspiring and rewarding thing about these business is that
all of the proceeds from Writely Sew and Aubrey Rose Apparel go directly
into the Aubrey Rose Foundation so that we can continue to help many more
families and children with life-threatening medical conditions. We could
not have stitched up a more perfect creation than this business!
We are inviting everyone to our open houses at our new
facility located in Mt. Healthy. Please put one of these on your calendar
to come visit us at 7805 Affinity Place, Cincinnati, OH 45231.
For all of the Foundation’s family and friends,
please join us on Wednesday, September 23, from 4-8pm.
For businesses in the surrounding communities, we are
looking forward to seeing all of you on Thursday, September 24 from 4-8pm.
While at our open houses, you will be given more information on our business
and to have the opportunity to see the services we are able to provide.
Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Harvest
Home Parade and Harvest Home Fair
What
a beautiful night we had for the Harvest Home Parade. We had a lot of
our scholarship recipients there as well as some of the parents and friends
of the Foundation. It was a great night which raised some awareness of
the Aubrey Rose Foundation.
We
also had a booth at the Harvest Home Fair where we passed out the Relia
Dose medical baby bottles. It was a beautiful weekend and we
got to talk with a huge amount of people in explaining how this special
baby bottle works and people were thrilled to receive these. We
passed out over 5000 bottles and definitely put smiles on the
faces of many.

ReliaDose
The
Aubrey Rose Foundation has been given a very valuable gift from
a special friend of ours and we want to be able to give this gift
away to those that could use this. It’s the ReliaDose®
baby bottle used for when your baby needs medicine.
ReliaDose®
works with a baby's natural desire to feed, providing an easy and
precise way to give medicine to a baby. It can ensure complete and
gentle dosing of over-the-counter and prescribed liquid medication,
as well as for liquid vitamin/mineral supplementation. Designed
for accuracy and ease of use, it's a medicine delivery
system that works for both babies and their caregivers.
ReliaDose®
is comprised of a patented dual-chamber nipple, bottle, and dosing
syringe. The dual chamber nipple doesn't allow for mixing of the
medicine from the inner chamber and the bottle liquid from the outer
chamber until it enters the baby's mouth. This masks the
taste of the medicine while ensuring accurate dosing. The
2 oz. (60 ml) bottle can be filled with whatever baby likes to drink.
The 5 ml syringe, which fits inside the specially designed bottle,
allows for medicine to be given at a rate comfortable for the baby
while ensuring the right amount of medicine has been delivered.

We
will be having a giveaway at our office in Mt. Healthy during
our Open House on Wednsesday and Thursday, September 23rd
and 24th from 4-8pm. Come to 7805 Affinity Place and
pick up your bottle.
-
In
addition, we are working with the Ronald McDonald Houses to ship
these bottles all over the United States.
If
you cannot make our open house and you would like us to ship you
a bottle, please email
nancy@aubreyrose.org and we’d be happy to mail you a bottle
for free but shipping will be extra.
Aubrey’s Foundation would like to thank the
ABF Freight System, Inc. for their kindness and
generosity for moving these bottles to our warehouse for us.
We
wish we would have had this bottle when Aubrey was still here with
us because we could have definitely used this.

Fireworks
Spectacular - "The Best Seats on the River"
Every
year the WEBN fireworks keep getting better! And the folks who joined
us that night had the best seats in Cincinnati. We had a sold-out house
for an unforgetable night of dinner, drinks, watching the fireworks
with a front row seat all the while you are helping children with
a life-threatening medical condition and their families at the same time.
We
had a wonderful seat for the fireworks and didn't even have to wait all
day to get it! When we said we were close, we were right there with nothing
blocking our view. We could see the barges and the both bridges where
the fireworks were coming from. It was so awesome to see the spectacular
fireworks and feel them as well and we could experience this in the comfort
of the Belle of Cincinnati!
Please put this on your calendar for next year
Sunday, September 5th, 2010. You don't want to miss this!

Sand, Sinners and Saints - The Baja Project
The
Aubrey Rose Foundation has teamed up with Christian Chapman "The
Faster Pastor" to help him and his ministry reach out to
1000's of children so close to the USA in his unusual approach to ministry.Christian
is a preacher in his church in Charlotte N.C. and The Baja Project is
an opportunity to do outside the box ministry that most churches can’t
do because their focus is inward driven by discipleship and local 
community
outreach. Christian is teaming up with his good friend
to race in the Baja Project.
Christian and Chris support and love the local church and their efforts
to reach those that are around the corner but they also understand that
Jesus’ ministry was mobile as well as were most of the disciples
and apostles of the early church. Jesus Himself reminded the disciples
of their mission with his words in Acts 1:8 “But you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses
in Jerusalem, and Samaria, and even to the remotest places on earth. Please

Ronald
McDonald, "Down on the Farm"
Down
on the Farm
was a huge hit with a packed house and fun things for the kids to 
do.
We have a slew of wonderful volunteers who came to help us with this
dinner. These dinners are so special not only for the families living
at Ronald McDonald House but for our volunteers as well. I think everyone
walks away with a smile on their face and that's our goal!!
It's
tough having to live at a Ronald McDonald House because you are away
from your families and friends in a strange city and your child is sick
enough for you to have to go out of town for treatment. It's indeed
scary but having a Ronald McDonald House for someone to "live"
in is a blessing in disguise. From personal experience, the Hollenkamp's
lived at the Cleveland and Philadelphia Ronald McDonald Houses for about
8 months in total while Aubrey's Grandparents, lived at the Camden,
New Jersey House when they would come to visit. They are very special
places and will forever hold special places in their hearts!
The
Cincinnati Ronald McDonald House was expanded to 78 rooms so we're very
busy hosting 200+ families.
If
you would like to join our future dinners, please send Nancy an email
at nancy@aubreyrose.org
