I’m getting ready for a special road trip on Saturday.
If you live in Washington State come on up to the Bellingham Barnes and Noble on Guide-Meridian and join several of the Mennonite Girls at our book signing.
The girls and I will be there from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon. After that we are hopping in our cars and crossing the border for a book signing at Ten Thousand Villages on Commericial in Vancouver, B.C.
Did you know this year marks the 65th Anniversary for Ten Thousand Villages? Yes, it has been sixty-five years that Ten Thousand Villages has been changing the lives and well-being of disadvantaged producers by linking and promoting Fair Trade organizations and speaking out for greater justice in the world.
To mark this great occasion the staff and volunteers at TEN THOUSAND VILLAGES on COMMERCIAL DRIVE invite you to come and help us celebrate the 65th Anniversary of Ten Thousand Villages this SATURDAY, October 1st. All day, from 10am-9pm, we will have lots of music and cake! Plus, there will be tattoos and balloons for the kids. At 4:00pm some of the authors from Mennonite Girls Can Cook will be at the store to sign copies! How awesome is that?
We hope you will come and celebrate with us! Please help us continue the mission that was started 65 years ago by one woman. Support Ten Thousand Villages this Saturday. Support fair trade. Make a difference.

I love this post Ellen. I am so glad we can come sign in your neck of the woods for Saturday morning. Anneliese and I will meet you for coffee before the rest of them show up. 🙂
Oh have a great time together and sell a lot of cook books. Now I’m off to learn more about Ten Thousand Villages. I keep hearing you and Lovella and others speak of it, but I really have no idea what it’s all about. I just thought it was the name of a store.
Sounds like a great opportunity for you ladies to get together..Have fun!
Ellen, this is so special!
Enjoy your day…I am sure everyone who comes will like meeting you all…I know I did!
Yay! What fun we will have.
I hope Saturday is a great day for you!
You all have a marvelous time (I know you will)….if only I lived about 1500 miles closer, I’d join you.
Fun~! Wish I could be there!
Looking forward to being together with you on the weekend Ellen.
I’m putting it on my calendar so I don’t forget. It will be fun to meet you in person!
Thank you, Ellen. You are a great spokesperson for all of us!
I just know you’ll have a great day of signing and chatting!
Starbucks in our hands with our aprons and pens and passports.
It will be good to get together again.
