3 months to go....

Things are starting to get exciting...
We have just confirmed that Stephanie Ackerman will be teaching a class for the 3Day/1Day Crop participants on Saturday, November 22! This is included in your registration fee! She's busy trying to decide what cool project to bring our way!
Participant Bios Needed!
I still need some of your bios for the website! I received the bio for Jean Bruns just the other day. If you haven't been to the website, it's really cool to see the smiling faces of our participants! Plus the people you are soliciting donations from can go and click right on your smiling face and make an on-line donation!
Bonus Oppurtunity!
I'm heading out to the Desert Scrapper's Retreat on September 12th, and will take out a Silent Auction Basket for you! Just another way to raise some donations! Some of you have already indicated that you want to do this...if you have already sent me an e-mail you do not need to send me another one!
Other good news!
Jean Bruns has stepped up and will be hosting lunch at the CropMeet on the 26th of September!
Please e-mail me and let me know what you are interested in hosting or participating in for the CropMeet! Remeber this is a crop for you and a great way for you to raise some donations!
If you want to do a class or offer a make and take for a fee...we need samples as soon as possible so we can get them up on the website and out on the blog. I'm going to give you a deadline for this, I need them no later than September 1st! We'll do a big e-mail blast and get it out there to potential participants!
We are hoping to get a lot of traffic for you at this event. We are planning on hosting 25-36 croppers at the event from 9am until 9pm and the yardsale/silent auction will be from 9am until 3pm, giving you a chance to crop the afternoon and evening away!
As participants of the 3Day/1Day crop, I will have seats for you, you do not need to register or pay for the CropMeet!

At the CropMeet you will be able to...
  • Sell items at the yardsale
  • Host a silent auction basket
  • Teach a class ( plan on 6 participants for your class.)
  • Offer a Make and Take for a fee
  • Host Dinner - might see if you could get a pizza place to donate pizza for the evening!
  • Know anyone who give massages? You can see if they will come do massages and split the fees with you towards your donations!

Bonus Oppurtunity!

Bonus oppurtunity...I will be going out to the Desert Scrapper's Retreat the weekend of September 11-13. Weaare going to be doing some raffles and some silent auctions. I'm going to offer you all an oppurtunity to donate a basket for the auction or raffle which will go towards your donation goal. Please let me know if you are interested in doing this. I would need to have your basket no later than the 10th of September. It can be anything....scrapbook supplies or other items. Hand made items go really well!

Please e-mail me if you are interested!

Great website to help you with fundraising

Sometimes it is easier to ask someone to buy something than to just ask for a donation.

There is a website called Fund Raising for a Cause and it offers lots of great pink ribbon items with easy to purchase pricing...buy one item and see how easy it is to raise your donations!
