As I mentioned last time, we are changing our meeting date. We will no longer meet on Sundays. Our new monthly date is the first Saturday of each month. We'll still be at the same wonderful place, Our Sewing Room at 5th and Main in Springfield. We are so fortunate that Mary Jo and Don let us meet there every month! On occasion, there might be a conflict with something else scheduled for the facility. In those cases, information will be sent to people on my DFG email list and posted here. So, do check in! Our next work day is November 5th.
We had a very productive workday last weekend. As usual, my camera wasn't out enough, but here are shots of some of us hard at work.
April Haberman, director of the Days for Girls Chapter in Edmonds, Washington, shared this online blog interview, and is happy to have us share it. You can too. Click here to hear April talk about Days for Girls and the issues we are addressing.
Days for Girls International is still in the running to win the million dollars in the Revlon Challenge. All money donated to teams and chapters counts in our nonprofit's quest to be the top money raiser in this competition amongst charities whose focus is women's health. With three and a half days left to go, Days for Girls is in 2nd place, less than $40,000 behind the first place group. I sincerely thank you if you've already donated to this fundraiser. We've had wonderful, generous donations from many of you I know, as well as from friends of friends and supporters! If you have been considering making a contribution to our Days for Girls Chapter, this is the perfect time to do it. 100% of your contribution goes to our chapter (you can even skip the Crowdrise processing fee--just change it to zero) and every penny you give puts our charity that much closer to winning a million bucks! Think of the impact that would have on the lives of so many girls! If you donate they give you a link to share it on Facebook. If you do that, please write something that might encourage your friends to donate too.
Use this link to donate to make sure both Days for Girls Eugene and our international group benefit. Consider donating in memory or honor of some special females in your life. Ten dollars translates into a kit that will keep a girl in school for three years--wow! How many kits can you support?
Let's end with a joyful photo from the Days for Girls Facebook page:
