"Thank you
so much for
being our
guest
speaker last
Thursday.
Ninety-four
people
attended and
they were
very pleased
with the
presentation
on the
orphan
trains.
Please
express our
thanks, too,
to Sarah and
Ellie for
all that
they did and
especially
to Lela.
Hearing a
person who
was actually
an orphan
train rider
made the
presentation
really come
to life.
Keep up the
great work."

Unlikely Answers

Mother/Bichon
duo bring their
inspirational
true tale to the
forefront of a
teen surviving
almost five
years with a
tick-borne
mysterious
illness many are
unaware.
Charlotte and
Teddy share
their personal
testimony of
overcoming great
adversity. In a
short five-year
time span
Charlotte’s
daughter, Sarah,
has fought for
her life with
the strength of
her family and
close friends.
Be inspired and
encouraged to
know as one
friend said:
“Success is to
be measured not
so much by the
position that
one has reached
in life as by
the obstacles
that one has
overcome while
trying to
succeed.”
We may not
choose the
circumstances
that we go
through; but we
DO choose the
attitude that
takes us through
those
circumstances.
When life
happens to you
do you choose to
be positive or
negative? Do
you use the
storms of life
as an excuse to
fail or the
reason to
succeed? Sarah
chose to become
a co-author and
illustrator as a
teen. Some days
she can barely
lift a pen.
With a positive
mental attitude,
perseverance,
and the right
relationships
you can go
through anything
life hands
you. We must
accept that
“Everything
happens for a
reason –God
is in control.

You'll find
something to
love on every
page of author
Charlotte
Endorf's "Unsung
Neighbors".
It begins with a
splash of
remarkable color
you'll never
forget,
witnessing the
irises amid the
sand of the
Nebraska
sandhills on the
very front
cover. Add to
this short
stories that are
fun to read
several at a
time or just one
a day. You're
sure to find the
stories powerful
messages of
inspiration,
motivation and
hope. This
remarkable book
is one woman's
tale of her
travels and
passion. It
intertwines
relationships
and unexpected
experiences
bringing
unbelievable
meaning to life.
Lose yourself in
every short
story. Plan the
perfect book
club
get-together.
Top it off with
a visit from the
author herself! |

Make your
meeting
meaningful!
-
Serve
healthy
snacks. Try
this: Cut
up a pear,
cut up
cheese,
drizzle with
a small
amount of
honey. This
is what is
often served
in Italy (a
destination
Charlotte
hopes to
visit one
day)!
Simple and
very
delicious.
Serve on
pretty paper
plates with
paper forks
to make your
meeting
easy.
-
Set the
tone. Pick
a CD from
those at the
chain stores
with
waterfalls
or very
relaxing
music.
Think
spas...where
you often
find
Charlotte!
-
Decor. Keep
it simple.
Plan around
the
holiday. Is
it
Valentine's
Day? St.
Patrick's
Day?
Charlotte's
favorite
color is
lavender.

supply a door prize. I
would come
to the next
meeting to
answer
questions
about how
you
can be that
author you
always
wanted to
be. I'd
follow-up
with any
questions
that result
from the
prior
meeting.
I'll get all
of you
started on your way to
your
dreams.
It's only
you
standing in
your way.
If I can do
it, you can
too!
-
Add
donated
salads and
we'll have a
fantastic
