Week 13

Hey Friends,

I hope everyone had a good week! This week was just more planning. During a work meeting I passed out some flyers for the May 18th fundraiser at Old Country Buffet. Thanks to all at the meeting for showing your support and taking the flyers. I've been talking to some friends about the fundraiser and they have been giving me some great advice. They told me of some fantastic radio stations that would help support the cause and help make the public aware of the upcoming fundraisers. Also I've had some amazing people volunteer to help with the car wash fundraiser, thank-you all so much! I was very fortunate to have four of my poems published this week in my college's book titled "Voices". On April 30th the publishers held a kick-off event for the books release and asked writers who were published in their book to come and talk about their work. Well I was one that pushed through that stage freight and read my poems and discussed my trail of suicide prevention. Thanks again to the publishers of "Voices" for excepting my poems, allowing me to read them, and help fight the stigma against suicide prevention.
I am still trying to iron out the details about the Zumba fundraiser, I'm just waiting to hear from another YMCA if they would be fine with holding an event there. My boss has offered to help with doing another bake-sale/cook-out. This will take some planning and time management, but hopefuly it will occur. I'm really glad to see how enthustiastic people are about this cause!
I hope everyone has an awesome week! Thanks to all that are making this possible.
