Fundraising

So, now all we have to do is raise $2200. Yeah! No problem!
We are going to send out letters to everyone we've ever met. I think we're (Molly & I) going to do one letter to all the people we both know, and then a few individual letters to people who only know one of us. We are also going to make some kind of a small jug or something to take around to businesses & have them put it on their counter. We're not sure what we're going to use yet or what we're going to put on it. I guess just the basics...what we're doing, where the money goes, etc. Someone at our meeting did this with milk jugs that they painted hot pink and they went every 2 weeks or so to empty it. So... we were thinking that if you guys in Ohio want to do a bunch there and take them to businesses and we can do some extra for Peg to take places (Sports Den, I don't know where else...but I'm sure you can come up with a few places), then we could all (the team) split the earnings after we take out what we spent making/decorating the jugs. The ladies at the meeting said it was an easy way to get some money. They put it out for a week or two and got $70 or so for not really doing anything, that's not bad. The only thing is making/decorating the things...but we know you Ohioans are pretty darn crafty! So let us know what you think about this. We came up with a bunch of places (10-15) to take these, but we'll keep you updated on where we do take them/what we use.
Another good tip we got from the meeting was one lady puts little business cards in with the letters she sent and asked that people hand them out to anyone that would be interested in donating. She just had basic info I guess on the b cards, where to donate, what it was for. There are some b cards on the website where they have the sampe letters, that might be what she used, but she didn't really say.
We got lots of other info at the meeting...I took notes, so I'll add some stuff later. We also each got a short dvd. If you guys want us to send one to you...let us know. Or did you get one with your packet that came in the mail? Ok, I think that's it for tonight!
