We're back (we were in the Okanagan visiting with Bruce's family for 10 days) and are excited to announce that we have successfully raised $320 to date!!
We raised $120 at our 1st Bar Candy Blitz which was quite successful and pretty fun (sorry we forgot the photographic evidence). We' still have quite a stash of candy and mardi gras necklaces so we'll be out and about in Victoria selling these for the next few Saturday nights. If you are interested in joining us, please let us know and we'll sign you up. It's a fun night out!
We also received our first personal donation from a very generous friend and so we have honoured this milestone with the unveiling of our very cool fundraising thermometer. At a glance this will keep all of our website viewers up-to-date on our progress. To help us get the mercury closer to our goal of $7,500 you can donate online (see the Donation Details link on the sidebar to the right) or get involved with our fundraising efforts.
We have a few things in the works but the next big fundraiser will be the:
Building For Ghana - Fundraising Garage Sale
__________
Saturday, September 8, 2007
2310 Fernwood Rd
8:00 am-1:00 pm
_________
How You Can Help:1. Tell everyone you know to come SHOP, SHOP, SHOP! We'll be set up at the front of our complex - 2310 Fernwood Rd - south of Bay Street at Denman at 8am. Please feel free to pass these details on.
2. Donate stuff. Call or email us to make arrangements but basically we'll take whatever you've got and will stack our living room high with treasures (as of this evening it's already getting there - a whole dining room suite is sitting here waiting for a new home)! Clean out your closets, kitchen junk drawers and storage spaces and purge that clutter!
3. Bake or Buy! Kelly's delicious chocolate chip cookies were a huge hit at our last sale and they certainly helped us raise even more $ for our other favourite charity. If you can contribute a few tasty treats let us know. We'll have a big coffee pot brewing (again, bit hit last time!) so if you have some old mugs to donate, we're in need since they'll be free with every coffee purchase!
4. Stop by. Come see us and say Hi as we have fun with those crazy garage sailers (it takes one to know one, believe me!). The hot dogs will be HOT at 10:30am and there will be coffee and something sweet to snack on!
Well that's it for now!
Until the next update - thanks so much for your support everyone!
Bruce & Brandy
