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]]
