New Changes and New Thanks

NEW IDEAS FOR THE MAIN EVENT

One hour Dance-A-Thon:
Donors will sponser a child or teacher in a dancing marathon. They'll pledge a certain amount of money per minute of dance endurance from dancing contestant.

Heart For Haiti Smoothies:
Red berry smoothie (slushy) with a blue swirly straw.
(RED and BLUE are Haits's flag colors)

I also have plans to figure out how to sell food (hotdogs, chips, soda), gather donations from local businesses for a raffle, and get a set of high-price items for a silent auction.

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH DONATING MATERIALS....

Email me at RoseInFall@aol.com and put IN GREAT NUMBERS in the subject line. I'm not asking for money. I'm asking for supplies or volunteers for the event. I could use all the help I can get.

Thank you!

Progress is coming along, but many things are changing. We are NOT hosting the fundraiser at the school anymore because we can't sell food there. My friend Sara Ward is now helping me find a new location (most probable, a local church called "Trinity"). Thank you, Sara!!!!!

My dear friend Jenn Olson has offered to go with me to JoAnne Fabrics tomorrow to help me ask the manager if they'd like to donate some materials for our cause. I am extremely blessed to have someone as outgoing and fearless as Jenn to go with me...I'm not very good at asking for things, especially from strangers, so I owe her many thanks! Jenn is also a professional photographer who is donating her time and talent for this very worthy cause. You will soon be seeing her work here on this blog.

I also want to give a special thanks to Amy Spindler (a very dear friend and co-teacher) for finding very worthy art supply treasures in her teacher cupboards for us to use. She has a gift in always finding exactly what I need! I love you, Amy!
