So I delivered the coin boxes last Wednesday. I am not sure what my expectation was but seriously I was not expecting the surprise I got today. I had to deposit some cheques and saw the coin boxes by the tellers wickets. The coin boxes sat there EMPTY!! Not even a penny! I was shocked to say the least, the bank manager said they usually make at least $600.00 a month for other organizations. This was just one bank so I am hoping there will at least be something in the coin boxes in Gore Bay or Ritchie's Supply.
The newspaper article is not going to well, an appointment was made to meet with the reporter but due to unforeseen circumstances we never met. I emailed her today to give her some information along with some photo's. I am hoping she will be able to develop a story out of that.
The donation letters have gone out, it won't be long before I hit up my doctor for a donation. After all he is the one who is always harping about me getting more active!
On another note, my son has started a raffle for a painting by Stan Panamick. See picture above. He is selling tickets $2 each or 3 for $5.00. The draw will be March 12th. If you are interested in purchasing tickets you can contact him at

On a positive note, I added another $50.00 to the pie sale total which brings that total to $360.00. Making my fundraising total $510.00. $7490.00 more to go!
Catch ya'll later!
