DO WATCH THIS VIDEO!
This one pretty much says it all. The 2016 numbers need updating, but it really covers what we do and why.
CountHERin!
Days for Girls has set a goal of reaching a million girls with kits by the end of 2017. CountHERin is the fundraiser supporting this. They're going to have different weekly challenges, and I urge you to look into them. The one that began Tuesday for Week One, asks each person to approach 10 people to donate $10 to our chapter. A kit contains $10 worth of supplies and gives a girl the ability to participate in life fully for 3 years or more. Can you sponsor one girl's kit? Video of some of the girls who've received our kits here.
NOVEMBER WORKDAY---CHANGE
Although we normally meet on the first Saturday of the month, that won't be happening next month. Please join us on the second Saturday in November, the 11th, anytime after 10:30. As usual, we'll be at Our Sewing Room on the corner of 5th and Main in Springfield.
PLEASE READ
OUR RAFFLE QUILT
Jackie and I hung the quilt outside Our Sewing Room last night and offered raffle tickets to the folks wandering by during the Second Friday Art Walk. Fall is definitely here--my fingers were so cold by the time we were done!
Please let me know if you have a place where you (or I) could sell tickets for this cheerful quilt! It can make an appearance, or you can take a photo with you. It's a nice way to get to talk to people about Days for Girls. Last night we met some people who said they were interested in helping out.
Can you take a photo and a batch of tickets and sell some yourself? Friends, family, work? Email, Facebook? Let me know.
