Joys of Fundraising

Ok I am so far behind in updating my blog!.. Ugh, one more obligation!! LOL

We just got home from the benefit Spaghetti Dinner that my friends Phil and Nicole hosted at their pizza place, Stonehouse Pizza. I cleared about $225 for the Romania trip not counting the dear donations from a couple of kind-hearted individuals (thanks Mom and Mrs. Kay!)

The Change for Babies fundraiser at school is going well! We have raised almost $500 already and it runs through Friday. A dear sweet girl in my classroom (J.B.S.) brought in her whole piggy bank -- around $50! I told her that would buy many, many tubes of diaper rash ointment in Romania! :-)

Last Friday one of my friends (and fellow teacher), Sharon took 3 kids outside to the car rider line with 2 huge baby bottles and collected change from parents waiting to pick up their dear children. They brought in $174!!

We are having a yard sale Saturday and I am hopefully getting together tons of crap to clean out my house & raise money for the trip at the same time! LOL Wish me luck since Em has a football game to cheer at tomorrow night and I know I will be exhausted Friday night -- um, and I have nothing together yet! :-)

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, kind words, and wonderful prayers! Keep praying!
