Beach life is wonderful; but buildings can take a beating. And
the Christian Family is no exception. In February,
2007 we began the considerable task of renovating the bedrooms
and chapels
of our Diocese of Raleigh building.
This is not a cosmetic remodel – this is These
capital improvements and expenditures of our beloved Our CFL
Development Ministry has been working behind the scenes to
launch our You will be hearing from one of our many Steps In Faith leaders asking for a pledge. We need to raise a huge amount of money: $250,000. Can we do it? With God's help and your active involvement, all things are possible! We are asking you to prayerfully consider giving a gift of $5,000, $2,000, $1,000 over a 2 year pledge period. Thank you for help to keep the CFL dream alive of bringing families closer to each other and to God. Your gift – no matter what size - will mean that CFL will be there in the future as a blessing for your family and for others. Thank you, Ted Galantowic, Chairman of the Board of Directors |

Dear CFL, Thank you so much for being part of such a wonderful mother's day weekend retreat. My family and I had a wonderful and blessed time. When we got home my daughter Isabel was crying because "she didn't want to come home. She wanted to stay there forever". Both Luke and Isa miss Emily and Hannah. Thanks so much and God bless you and all the staff at CFL. -- Susannah Carlin |

People in the News Danny Malechuk spent many summers with his family at CFL and now he is making the news! The Kernersville News reported this month: “ALDI will soon open a store … off South Main Street (Kernersville, NC). The store is expected to open on June 21, according to ALDI District Manager Daniel Malechuk.” “At ALDI, we offer only the most common size and we usually offer only one brand,” he said. “We move product very quickly because we sell only that brand. We can buy our items in bulk, which means we can sell items to our customers very cheaply.” Malechuk pointed out several other cost-cutting measures ALDI employs. “We work with a very lean staff and we encourage high productivity out of the people we hire,” he said. “We usually have eight or nine people working in any given store. Customer service is very important to us, so we offer higher wages and good benefits so we attract a higher caliber of people to work in our stores.” In the United States, ALDI Inc. operates more than 800 stores in 26 states. |
