GOOD, GOOD NEWS!!!

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...
