Patience my friends! The pages are updated manually, so the ornament or light you have added may take a while to appear. If the tree runs out of room for lights and decorations, watch for extra glow and deeper snow to appear.

Each light and ornament indicates SMAR's progress towards sponsoring all our friends in need. When you see a shining SILVER star with a glowing halo, like the one at right, on the top of the tree it means everyone has been sponsored! THE YELLOW LIGHT IS NOT THE STAR!

Why not sponsor someone in Charles & St Mary's County too?
