Let's make a difference for our schools

**Hoppy** · 08-18-2009, 04:56 PM

This morning I tried the "tell a friend" email function on the Donors Choose website. It was pretty painless, but only time will tell if it brought in any more contributions. I sent the email to 4 people who I know very well. If 10 of us do that we have a 10 times better chance of getting some results.

How much more to raise Hoppy, I may have a few bucks to toss in after bills clear the bank.

Taken from the cost tab of the project just a few minutes ago.

By this rate, we will be working on a new project by the time I can afford to donate again.

TOTAL PROJECT COST $449.12
7 Donors -$165.00
To Go $284.12

Paul was gracious enough to pass on the stems for someone else. vtkid, if you want them they are yours.

**Hoppy** · 08-20-2009, 04:06 PM

**Hoppy** · 08-22-2009, 12:17 AM

It looks like another $10 donation has just been made, but no information about who donated. Raise your hand if it was you.

We have passed the half way mark, and are starting down the home stretch! Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, no a plane, no,......it's an angel coming to finish this off! Oops, sorry, it was just a bird.

I'm in as soon as my unemployment gets cleared and I get a check. State is fast to take the money in but slow on giving it back when needed.
