Today I started mailing out fundraiser letters to old friends & aquaintences. I actually went through the entire phone book looking for people that might want to help me. I sent letters to all of the Damascus area PTA's also. I wrote a letter to send out to other service organizations in Damascus, and hopefully next week I will find time to go to each of the businesses in Damascus to solicit funding. I am making a list of eveyone that I have approached and I need to make a list of my sponsors. I am also behind on my Thank You letters to those people nice enough to have contributed already.
As you are not supposed to wear tank tops or sleeveless shirts in Tanzania, I went out looking for end-of-the-summer bargains today. I got 1 long skirt and several short sleeve cotton shirts. I think I will make the rest of my skirts. Skirts must be below the knee.
I have been busy making items to sell at the Pathways Fair on Oct. 21. All of the proceeds will be used towards my trip. I am hoping to cover my airline expense. I need to write up my inventory, also. Lots of things to do!!!
