Hi all! I just wanted to post to say that I will be checking in now and then, but will probably not be posting much for a while.
I have a friend in Toledo who is coordinator for a scrapbooking group that works with parents of babies in the Newborn ICU. Actually she is the entire program. It was her idea, her time, she is the teacher, organizer, she is pretty much everything. I got involved with the group when it first started last January, by sending her some extra supplies that I had from my scrapbooking stash.
Last June they had the first annual Krop for Kids fundraising all day crop. Kelsie and I went and stayed with Mary for a few days and went to the crop (You may remember S who Kelsie was head over heels with for quite some time. He is Mary's grandson) We had a great time.
This summer Mary asked me to be on the committee for this years Krop for Kids 2008. I am the Volunteer Fundraising Coordinator for the Krop. I am the gal that gets to hound people and get them to donate things for our auction, our goodie bags and for door prizes.


Good for you for taking that on, Kristie! It sounds like a very worthy cause. I've been wondering where you were!

Hope all goes well, and thank God for people like you!
That is one job I could never do. Even though I don't mind when people ask me for donations, I just could not go around to businesses or make fundraising phone calls, no matter how much I believe in the cause. When DS would have to sell raffle tickets for soccer, I'd just buy them all and write in the names of friends and relatives. I'd make a lousy salesperson.
