Fundraising!!!

Hello everyone. It has been a while since my last post and I am little embarrassed to say that it is due to the fact that I forgot my password. Well i am sorry about that so let me tell you what has happened since then.  Around Christmas my hometown of Townsend, Montana always puts on a Christmas stroll with vendors, music and good food. So to kick off my fund raising I put on a "Chili for Chile" with a little help from Santa's little helpers and my mother and grandmother. We sold chili with homemade rolls and coffee, and I asked my grandpa's construction company to sponsor Letters to Santa, which was a huge success. Every kid who wrote a letter to Santa got a free lollipop and dropped their letter in the mail box to the north pole. I also sold lollipops in my high school around thanks giving for people to send to their friends to show their appreciation for one another. With the money from my friends and family and my giving community, I have raised enough money to pay for my tuition and my plane ticket. : ) I am planning to have a thank you/ go away party very soon for everyone who helped me and it will be a good chance for me to say my goodbyes. My departure date is set for the 23 of February. It is almost time!
