Update January 25, 2011

 

Well people, things are coming along well. We are having a tea on Feb 5 for prospective Board Members and look forward to discussing what we can all do to help East Contra Costa County's needy. 

Last year brought a lot of new ideas and we were actually able to implement a few with the help of  SA Headquarters in Sacramento.They have great PR and IT people who made things so easy for us.

We learned a lot this last year about what worked and what didn't  and with help from new board members we will be stronger and more effective for those needing help the most....

I will update you on our upcoming tea and let you know how it all goes.... mj

YEAH 2011!!!

Well best news came in yesterday, we are actually UP over 2009 in donations, what a relief!!! Our kettles did not do as well BUT overall donations were slightly up and the new Great is GOOD in this economy so we are all very happy!

We are going to be forming a new sub committee to help recruit adult volunteers for the upcoming season. 

What we found out this year was that we had the willing high school volunteers but not the adult chaperons.  Soooooo, if anyone would be so kind as to sign on for the OBR (Operation Bell Ringer) committee it would be so appreciated!!!

Here's to Fabulous 2011....
