 I know many of you have already given us generous donations. Thank you.
If you have not helped yet you many want to consider a ticket or two in the raffle. There are not that many people yet so your chances of getting the silver heart or a rug are pretty good.

Using paypal for raffle

If you would like to use paypal for your raffle ticket. Use the following address:

charwolf100@yahoo.com

Once I receive the notice of your payment I will email you the number.
We will make a video of the drawing in front of the building. One of the women will do the honors. Stay tuned for update on the building. I head to MX June 28th.

Thanks to all of you that are participating.

A Birthday Party for the person who has everything

Little by little we are receiving donations for the new store/restaurant. If you would like to help here is a fun way to raise money. Have a party!!  This suggestion is from Judy Christoffersen.

A Birthday Party for the person who has everything

Need to plan a party?  Last summer was my brother's 50 th and we knew a big party was called for.  But like so many of us, he needs nothing.  So in the birthday invitations we asked the guests to NOT buy a gag gift, or even a four dollar birthday card.  Instead, we told them we would like to make a donation in my brother's name; to the store the women of the Rug Hook Project are working on.  After the group gathered to sing happy birthday, I talked a little about the women's group and explained the store project.  Friends and family came through like troopers and we were able to raise $500 for the project.  I am telling this story to encourage others to do the same.  
It made all the people at the party feel good about giving, and my brother was especially pleased!

The picture is of the display we set up with information, pictures and postcards about the Rug Hook Project.  The basket was for contributions.

We had a Mexican theme and this is my brother Scott in the sombrero.

I'm turning 65 this year and thinking what a great way to celebrate. 

PS. Work is continuing on the building. I'll be headed to MX at the end of June and give you the updates.[[posterous-content:pid___0]]
