I’m so excited! I applied for a fundraiser at a local restaurant and it looks like it’s going to work out. I got a response asking for me to select the dates and provide the donation and mailing info. I hope it works out. My next project is getting donation letters out to friends and family in the from of email and snail mail. I am going to be very busy this weekend!

Training Kickoff
Posted by Shades of Pink on March 8, 2008
One week from today I will be attending a Training Kickoff at one of the local malls. My team member will be going with me. There will be a 3 mile training walk! I’m excited to get started! I’m getting my fundraising requests out today and tomorrow. I’m applying for fundraiser dates at some local restaurants. That should give me a boost! This is so exciting. I am nervous about the donations being met, but I have learned that if I come up short, I can change my registration from Walker to Crew! It’s a win/win! Crew members do not have a donation minimum required which is a relief. I do want to be able to walk with my team, though. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that I do a lot better than last year!

First Donation Dollars
Posted by Shades of Pink on November 2, 2007
I had a productive October in my Mary Kay business. As I stated I am donating 10% of my profits to The 3 Day. I sold about $500 in October. My profit was $250 and I am able to donate $25 to the cause. It’s not the $200 goal I had originally, but I will get there. I think this weekend I will talk to some of the local restaurants about fundraising. They do dining dollars or something at Max & Erma’s and TGIFriday’s and Applebee’s. I will be finding out how it all works and get those events scheduled. I’m going to raise the $2200 this year. I really want to walk. If I wind up raising more, I’ll recruit my husband and give him my excess donation money. 
In addition to the fundraisers, I am going to get those emails out to my contacts. One friend has already asked me about donations. She actually asked if she was too late for 2007. I said no, but I was collecting for 2008. So, I believe I will begin to receive those donations soon. November’s a brand new month in Mary Kay, too. I have lots of appointments scheduled so I see more happening in that avenue as well. It’s going to get interesting, I think…
