I never thought I'd be so happy to see Monday arrive! But this past weekend was so hectic that I am glad that it's over!
Unfortunately, I did not get any walking in as hoped. I really need to get back on track with the training schedule. Today I hope to walk and tomorrow I hope to get to the gym.
So, what did I do instead of walking?
I printed out about 150 flyers advertising for a fundraising dinner I'm doing. On May 21 and 22, Texas Roadhouse in Bensalem will donate 10% of the dinner bill from those who bring in a flyer(stating my name, Heather Lee, and The 3 Day Walk as the fundraiser). I put those flyers up at many grocery stores as well peppered various vehicles with them at the mall. My goal is to get 50-100 flyers out there each day this week (apartment complexes, shopping centers, churches, community centers, etc). Please note, this will included dining in as well as take out!!!!
I stamped, addresses, and stuffed 30 letters which went out to local businesses asking for their support. I want to try to sent out 60/month (get paid biweekly, so I'll do 30 each time I get paid). The first 30 went out to businesses in my area. the next 30 will go out to businesses in the area where I grew up.
I drove around to the businesses in which I had placed my collection jars. In the past 3-4 weeks, I have collected a total of $120-$130. It's been very successful so far and I hope that the generosity continues!
I drove to a few stores and picked up donations of gift cards. With some of the gift cards, I purchased items which will go into gift baskets (which I will then raffle off). The other gift cards will either be raffled off individually or be incorporated into the baskets.
Hope you have a great week!
