Just In — We really appreciate the nice thank you note we received from the Mommies Network. They are an organization that helps moms in need. We are so happy to hear their network is growing rapidly, and thankful Billy Gorilly could play a small part.
Dear John Maellaro:
The Mommies Network had a tremendous year in growth internally as well as externally in 2010. With over 100 chapters nationally, over 32,000 members, and with an average of 104 new members daily, TMN is growing rapidly and making a positive impact on the communities where our members live and in the national “community” as well.
As The Mommies Network continues to grow and expand in 2011, we wanted to pause and thank those businesses and individuals who have helped us to reach a new level in our growth. We are grateful to you for your support in 2010 and want you to know that without the support of you and others like you, we would not be where we are today. Your donation of five Billy Gorilly – Rockin’ the School House vol 1 & 2 CD Sets for our national auction was greatly appreciated and helped us to raise $1,000 for the National Association to End Domestic Violence and to provide support to over 30,000 women across the county.
The beginning of 2011 has already seen tremendous changes and growth for The Mommies Network with more to come. In an effort to refocus on our mission, TMN is shifting our charitable focus on volunteering in our community. When the economy is tough our charitable contributions are typically one of the first things to go, but that does not have to mean money or collecting goods. It can also mean time and talent. We are going to explore the opportunities right in our neighborhoods where we can lend a helping hand. Additionally, The Mommies Network plans to open approximately 20 more sites, bringing on a new board of directors, and launch a national forum. 2011 sees us confidently moving forward in our mission to ensure that every mommy has a community where she can find support.
Thank you again for your support in 2010. We are looking forward to what 2011 has in store and hope that you will continue to support our work and our mission.
Thank you,
Christine Byrd
Director of Development

‘Tis the season to spread the joy of a happy, fortunate life. All of us here at BillyGorilly.com are proud to help out Viva.org by providing Billy’s version of “Jingle Bells” as the soundtrack for their Viva Christmas Parties promotional video.
Viva’s primary year round focus is facilitating, supporting, and coordinating “Children at Risk” programs that help over 1 million kids in 24 different countries around the world. The programs provide the essentials of food, safety, health care, and education to children that otherwise may go without.
Near the end of each year Viva also sponsors a series of Christmas parties at various locations across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. These parties give children from poor families the opportunity to know the joy of having a good meal, receiving a gift, and sharing in the celebration. But mostly it gives them the chance to just be a kid.

Did You Know July 19th is National Hug your Child Day?
This year National Hug your child day is on July 19th. It falls on the 3rd Monday in July. So, this year 2010, it’s the 19th. You can find more about the mom who started this special day here.
Of course we believe you should hug your loved ones everyday, but this is a nice reminder to all of us. Life is sometimes fragile and we never want to miss an opportunity to do something nice for the people we care about.
Hugs are great and so are little notes
Who doesn’t like a sweet little note from someone they love and care about, I know I do. I love when I find a note on the steering wheel of my car from my hubby. Or, in my suitcase when I have to travel for work.
Kids are no different. They love it when they find a note tucked into their lunch box or notebook. These notes can be as fancy or as simple as you want or have the time to create.
Don’t worry if your child does not run home after school and jump in your arms praising you for the little note. They might not say anything at all. They will talk about them most when they are older and reminiscing. Saying something like “remember those little notes mom used to put in our lunch box? I loved those notes”.
To help you get started I would like to share with you a free printable from Billy Gorilly.
Download the free printable now ? BillyGorilly_LunchBoxNotes
Have a great day everyone, and don’t forget to give someone a hug!
