Like the pic? That's my rainbow cake to match my rainbow hair. Gotta coordinate.

Hey everyone. I'm on "vacation," so they say. Ha ha. I've been working on the fundraiser pretty much nonstop. Sent out 40+ letters yesterday to family and contacts for donations and thank yous. Oi. That took a while. Then, distributed donation jars around town. Big KUDOS to the BP stations. They are so supportive.

Distributed flyers in a few neighborhoods yesterday. I so hope that doesn't upset anyone. If you received a flyer, please know it's all good intentions! I'm doing anything and everything I can to raise the $4,100.

Today, called 45 buinesses to follow up on a letter I sent. I'm on a big drive to get 10 businesses to donate $200 each. Sounds easy --but in this economy, it's harder than you think. Talked to many nice people today, and many lovely voice mail boxes. I see follow up calls in my future. :)

Next: more flyering and rummage sale sorting and pricing.

Gotta add: Multimedia Communications and Engineering is a really classy company. Seriously. They are doing a construction project on my block this week and next. Oops - right around my fundraiser sale. I called the hotline and a guy came right out to meet with me. Next, comes the project leader. They found a way to work around my entire block so they are done and gone before my sale my Friday. Is that cool or what? They were so supportive of the fundraiser and didn't want to deter traffic. Big thanks to them!

Billboard from Jones Sign

Check out my billboard from Jones Sign. They are awesome. Thanks Jones Sign! Keep an eye open for it on Hwy 172 and Oneida. :)

It's baking day!

I'll be baking up a storm this afternoon and tonight for the Pride Alive fundraising booth. I hope to raise at least $500. :) Can I do it? I'll let you know by Sunday!

Come check out Pride Alive too. www.newpride.org - great booths, great music, great food --tons o' fun. It's 11-10pm at Joannes Park - plus there are a bunch of activities going on all week, including a 5K run, a drag show, legal booths, an art gallery. Check out the web site for more details.

Fundraising update

Hello! Fundraising is going well! We netted $502 at the party @ Titletown on June 23, and raised another $345 at the Festival Foods brat barn on June 28. With other donations received, that puts me over $1,500 with about $2,500 to go by October 8.

I'll have a booth with a teammate this weekend at Pride Alive, July 11 @ Joannes Park, 11-10pm. Our booth will stay open till 7:30pm. We are selling baked goods. My partner in crime for the day is apparently a good baker---haven't met her in person yet.

I'm also trying to find a good location to do a car wash.

I've been plastering cars at bigger events with my business card too. I hope that works!
