Week 5

Hey Friends,

Hope everyone has had a good week! This week was one for the books; full of baking by many people, lots of goods sold, and many stories were shared. On Monday I had contacted Fox 43 news and told them about the bake sale occuring March 6th, and they seemed interested. During the week my friends helped me make the tri-fold for my bake-sale, those little hand prints are from my little friends from the kindergarten unit. Many people had signed up for the bake sale, but when Thursday came, I could not believe how many bake-goods I had received for the bake sale!
My good friend Alex really helped make the bake-sale ease by, she really put her business degree to good use. There were many, many generous people that donated, thank-you all!! I got many raised eye-brows when I told people of the foundation that I am raising money for, and many nods while stating that this was a great cause. Many people shared their tales of their battles with depression, or of how they lost someone to suicide. I was glad that people felt very open to talking to me about this; this shows we are breaking the stigma. Finally the news came! Many were laughing at how excited and nervous I was, but I was so glad the news came. They helped make the awarness reach out to more people.
The bake-sale was a GREAT success, we raised $594.00 dollars! Thank-you to everyone, you are saving lives!
*Special thanks to all the wonderful bakers that donated there delicious bake-goods, people that helped set up and take down the bake sale, help make the tri-fold, and the people that helped me sell the bake-goods (especially thanks to those little sales people!)
