Hey y'all!!!
While the majority of you are probably enjoying going coat-less and getting some sunshine, we are still sitting in snow here in the frozen tundra. Well, I should say, again; spring made a rather short appearance, the snow melted, we could finally see grass and I dared to go outside in a shirt at beautiful 45 degree weather (yeah, that's spring for us. Sad, I know). All to get a "just kidding" from Mother Nature, as she sent us an April blizzard!!! Needless to say, we're not speaking to each other right now! She has until the end of this month to get her act together! I need May to be warm and sunny!
As y'all probably know by now, May is Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month and I'm planning on walking every day, wearing my awareness gear! Some of you may remember me mentioning a "Brushstrokes for Pediatric Stroke" Awareness event I was planning. Well.......it is a done deal! The lovely Margie from Margie's Art Glass Studio has agreed to help us raise awareness and some money for Pediatric Stroke! Every child (or child at heart) gets to paint their own 6" tile for a $15 donation. I am so excited!The event will be on Saturday, May 25, at 10:30 am. So if you haven't seen my Facebook event yet, shoot me an e-mail cause spots are filling quickly!!! Oh, and while you're at it, go over to Margie's Facebook page and show her some love by liking her page!
We're also working on a walkathon, possibly on base. The buttons I ordered should be getting here soon! They will be $1.50/each. Get your order in before they're gone!!! I still need a lot of things though. I need shirts but haven't found a good enough deal yet. I also have to provide water for the walkers and we're planning on doing a food sale too. Not to mention the activities for the kids and prizes. Eeek! I might have to do some convincing so Joseph will let me order everything, lol. So, if you know a business that is just itching to help with either donation or participating in a fundraiser shoot me a message!
Hopefully, we'll hear back from the governor soon about our proclamation for this year! I will keep you posted on the outcomes but for now, I will return to my hunt for spring!
Love,
