Fundraiser News

We did it. With two months to spare! Although I will gladly still be collecting money for the ga4c microcredit fund, the goal to raise $4000 for microcredit was surpassed last weekend at the silent auction fundraiser in metchosin!

Thank you to everyone who came out, donating your time, energy, enthusiasm, photographs, paintings, books, lovely knitted things, eco-friendly jean bags, and money for microcredit. You are a generous crowd of supporters, and the grand total raised was over $2000! This definitely overwhelmed my goal of raising $1000!

Throughout the day tensions were high as minor bidding wars occured over Frank Mitchell's Daina Pig... pearson college students and peoples alike strolled in for refreshments after long hours of picking up garbage along roadsides for Earth Day... NDP candidate John Horgan stopped by to show his support, as did a couple of volunteer firefighters (for good measure).

I'd like to extend special thanks to Seabluff Farm for their overwhelmingly generous donation, and entice everyone who reads this to support purchasing their locally grown, and delicious produce.

As well to Zara of THE (Towards a Healthy Environment) Bag Project for donating the money earned from her bags toward the microcredit fund!!

i almost forgot... a HUGE THANKS TO MY MOM! not only is she beautiful, but shes smart and witty and organized the rental of the community house, and threw a fantastic Earth Day event, AND convinced the lovely artists to donate their fine works to the event. GO MOM! I LOVE YOU!!!

till next time!!
