Another Successful Fundraiser!

Hello!

I just wanted to thank everyone who came to our Pampered Chef party. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Colin and I really enjoyed sharing more about our trip with everyone who came. We are still waiting to hear how much money we made but we do know that we sold over $1,000 of Pampered Chef items!

Colin and I will continue to update you on our progress and fundraisers but in the meantime, please save your garage sale items! We are going to have a garage sale on May 21st and would really love your help! If you have any items that you would like to donate now, I have space in my garage for it.

Thank you again for your support!

Pampered Chef Party

Hello Everyone!

Here is a quick update on our next fundraiser. On Thursday night, Colin and I are hosting a Pampered Chef party along with Jamie Estes and Susan Mansfield. The party will be held at the Mansfield house (see address below) and will start at 7:00pm. One of the mom's on the People to People team has offered to donate all of her profits as a Pampered Chef consultant to our trip. If you would like to attend, please contact either Colin or I to let us know that you will be coming. We hope to see you there!

Succesful Morning!

Wow! What an awesome morning! Thanks to everyone who came out and supported Kona and I at our Pancake Breakfast fund raiser!

We arrived at Applebees (Eagle/Fairview) at about 6:30am to get things prepped for the 7am start time. People began trickling in about 7:15ish, but it wasn't until about 8:30 that it got busy. And boy did it ever! Kona and I took our own section (the other four Student Ambassadors helping had other sections) and had such a fun time bussing and serving table after table :) Not only did it provide good time to make good $$$, it also gave us the opportunity to talk more about fund-raising ideas these next couple months.

Keep checking right here for updates! Also, a twitter site will be up soon so keep your eyes open for that!

Thanks again to everyone who came out to support us!

Colin

P.S. Just so you know, we will be doing this exact same fundraiser on May 2nd. Same time, same place, hopefully even more people! Leave a comment if you want to get on top of the game and buy tickets early. Thanks again!
