Very Excited!

Well, the Walk for Autism is more than a month away but I am getting excited!! I designed a T-Shirt and my aunt is going to look into pricing for me. They (my mom, aunt, a people from church) are doing the Relay for Life so my Aunt is looking into getting T-shirts for that event and said she would also look into getting t-shirts for the Walk for Autism as well. Last Friday, I mailed out 30 letters to get donations from different people. So far 3 have responded and have donated $60. I will be mailing out more letters as each paycheck gets here.

The next batch of mailing will be to state representatives, the governor, and various mayor and commissioners in my county.

My goal is to raise $1000.00 or more by myself. I really hope I can do it!!!

I also am having the County and each City in my county proclaim April as Autism Awareness Month. So March I'll be busy going to various meetings to accept the proclamation. The meetings I have to go to will be March 9th, March 17th (that's in front of the Board of County Commissioners and our chapter representative is going to come w/ me), March 19th, and March 26th. I still have to get in contact with one other city so I'm not sure what date that is set for. Oh, and also April 8th. But I told the clerk there that my due date is April 9th, so not sure if I would be able to make it to accept it. She said if that was the case she would mail it to me :-).

And also, the 2nd Saturday in March (March 14th to be exact) we will be holding a garage sale at my aunt's house and all monies received is going directly to Autism Speaks! It was my aunt's idea, I thought of it but she was like we should do it so I'll be busy getting stuff together for that and pricing and all that. She's never held a garage sale before so we've got people helping us w/ loaning tables and such.
