27 Days Out!
Here we are, twenty-seven days out from this year's fundraiser and everything is really starting to take shape. Jolene has been way busy getting donations for the auction, working on art pieces and getting all the seats accounted for the dinner. And also working on getting our total to be bigger than last years. So you know, most everything. I have helped where I can as far as logos, save the dates and menu cards. And I was also able to get some donations too to help out. My friend Clyde does sculpture and metal work in his off time from his other job as a firefighter. We were trying to get some different pieces for this years auction and I emailed Clyde to see if there was anything he may want to do. And no pressure, if you do great and if you don't that's fine too. I got an email back the next day that he had a couple things at his shop he said would be great for that. This past week I stopped by his shop, and after playing around on some of the heavy equipment, he gave me the two hand-made candle holders pictured to the left. And I was really excited to get them. Partly because they're really cool looking pieces and partly because I felt a little more like I was actually contributing. I think over this next week or two there's a piece I want to do that I'd talked over with Jolene about and if I can actually pull it off how I see it in my head, that'll be one more great piece for the auction. And everything we do get's us one step closer to topping last year's total and topping last year's total hopefully get us all one step closer to getting a cure. I'm all for getting there.
