I am excited to announce that our destination, time, and date are all in order! We will be having the fundraiser at the St. Francis Methodist church in their fellowship hall. The church has allowed us to use it, free of charge. TOTALLY AWESOME. Get ready to join us there, APRIL 17th!!!!!
We also just received a HUGE donation of shirts (50 count!)from a local bulk supplier. I will have their business information posted ASAP!!! Thank you so much, Amy, for making that connection and getting that ball rolling! I couldn't have done that.... And thank you, Heidi, for doing all the administrative work that I need! THANK YOU BOTH!
XOXOXOXO
As excited as I am about all the good news, I AM getting a little ovewhelmed with the work load (artistically). I'm going to be organizing a "Craft Making Day" for volunteers who would like to help me get the bulk of the projects done. I'll be talking to my boss about letting me use the work place for a Saturday, and I'll be posting a volunteer sign up sheet for anyone who wants to help me. I very much need help... I'm starting to burn out... sigh! So if you can use a paint brush, or glue little pieces of tisue paper on a pinata, or use a hot glue gun, or have good hands for dipping shirts into ty-dye, I WILL HAVE WORK FOR YOU TO DO! For the more crafty volunteer, I have TONS of mosaic materials, clay, and T-shirts that need making and designing.
I'll keep everyone posted...

The Giving of the People
This is a long overdue update.... My apologies!
Things are really starting to roll, and it's very exciting!
I have many special thanks to mention.
1) To all the parents at Kids Country who have taken down a heart from the wall and have provided so many of the things that we need, THANK YOU! I am eternally grateful! Nothing fills my heart more than when Ms. Amy delivers a bag of donated materials to my classroom. Thank you! Thank you! I will be making a list of people who have donated, and they will each receive individual rewards for their generosity.
2) A very special thank you to St.Francis Women of Today for agreeing to do our consessional. I appreciate all of you wonderful, generous, special women. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
3) A huge thank you to Sara Ward for trying to track down a venue for our event. We think we may have found one! I'll be filling out an application to request the use of it and be giving it to Sara tomorrow to deliver. As soon as this is set in stone, flyers will be made up and so much more will be accomplished. Thank you so much, Sara, for doing everything you are doing!
4) A very special thank you to my friend, Nyki, who has taken it upon herself to recruit artists and crafts persons to donate their special talents for the fundraiser. I don't know what I would've done with out your help, Nyki! You are so well connected. It's awesome!
5) A very big thank you to Jenn Olson for providing photographs to post on my blog! Her wonderful talent can be seen in the sidebar under "Getting Inspired...". Thanks so much, Jenn. www.jennolsonphotography.com
The Progress
Tomorrow I will be taking pictures of all of the crafts that are finished,and will be posting them here pronto. I'm sure those of you who follow this blog are looking forward to seeing the evidence of our progress... We've got some really fun, cool stuff to show off!
