Almost there!!!

Hello everybody, sorry I have not updated in so long. So much has happened in the last few months. About two months ago, I had passed out flyers around the neighborhood offering to do work for donations. This has worked out very well for me,I have one full time job and have been getting multiple jobs all most every week. Some of the work has been harder than others, but I've enjoyed getting to meet my neighbors and the donations have been great. I have also been working on collecting donations from family, friends and neighbors for a large yard sale as a fundraising event. This has worked out great and donations for the yard sale continue to come in. The yard sale is scheduled for June 5, 2010, and just today I learned that St. Cletus Church is donating the use of their parking lot for the event!

Last weekend I attended an AFS orientation for all the visiting foreign exchange students who are living here in Missouri. This orientation was at the Lake of the Ozarks State Park and was a blast. I have loved meeting the students that are in this area, it has been so much fun and they are all such great people! There were nearly 30 visiting students from 17 different countries. It sucks that I can't see them off at there departure orientation in June, because I will be in Germany with a school program.

I would like to thank everyone who has donated through the ChipIn Widget on my blog or to me personally, it has really helped. I'm over half way there on my funds, but am working hard to raise the rest in the next two months. THANK YOU.
