Fundraiser

So, the fund raisers begin... We have 2 items we will be selling. Linda Carpenter has ordered the bracelets that we will be selling. They will be here by the end of April, so we will follow up with how you can get those in a later blog.

But we are going to start collecting donations for the TV right away. We have purchased a Samsung DNC-42" 720P Plasma flat screen HDTV. We will be taking donations for it. One ticket for $10 or 3 tickets for $20. The drawing will be during finals week, 2nd week of May, so that students can purchase tickets before they leave for the summer. It is a $900 TV from Ultimate Electronics. We were able to purchase it at a big discount thanks to sales manager Albert and Ultimate Electornics. Thank you Albert for helping us get started. We got the TV in the hopes of raising some "drug money" (plus all the partial doctor bills and hospital bills we will have to pay). I say "drug money" because we have found that the medicines they are having me take at home are very expensive and only come in three week intervals. Then that cycle repeats for at least another 6 times, possibly up to 8 times. We didn't want to just ask our friends and family for money, we wanted to offer them a chance for a cool prize. And since Bev and I are watching alot of TV these days while we recover from my therapy, we thought a flat screen TV was appropriate. So, if you would like a great prize and a cause to donate, please consider me. I feel bad for asking, but this was one way we thought we could raise some money. Bev will let you know later how and where you can purchase tickets. This would make a great prize for yourself, or birthday or even Christmas present. And please pass the word to your friends and/or family and neighbors. Thank you for your support. Here is the picture we took of the box.

We will be looking for help selling these tickets. We were contacting a few of you to see if you can help. Or you can contact us if you want to purchase tickets or sell them. Thank you so much. We appreciate your participation.
