Final Recap

Paper Arts A Thon, by all accounts, was a huge success. The generousity and spirit will long be remembered and will carry us through until Paper Arts A Thon 2008.

The final tally of funds raised was $9673.78. Amazing!

'Thank you' to those who attended and 'Thank You' to all of you who could not attend but showed your support in so many other ways, purchasing tickets, donating and or helping serve food, donating silent auction items.

We have a full year to prepare for the 2008 Paper Arts A Thon and as we have expressed: The bar was set high at our first Paper Arts A Thon and we know we can never exceed it but we will do our VERY best to meet it!

In the meantime we are preparing for our next fundraising venture. We, Holly, Jackie, Bonnie and I had decided prior to Paper Arts A Thon that we should continue fundraising for Joints in Motion/ Arthritis Society. The decision was made for two reasons. One, we didn't want the fun for us to end, we had such a blast preparing for Paper Arts A Thon and two, we didn't know the outcome of Paper Arts A Thon and if more $$$'s would be needed. Although we exceeded our desired goal we decided to continue with fundraising as dollars are still needed for the Arthritis Society.
So... please join us for

Fundraiser For the Arthritis Society/Joints in Motion
Registration cut off: November 1st,2007

At Paper Arts A Thon we explained that we wanted every penny we fundraise at 'Kick Off to the Christmas Spirit' to go to Joints in Motion and we did not want to go to individuals and businesses to ask for donations. Instead we are asking anyone that would be interested in donating their recycling to us (either the recyclables and we will turn them in or the dollars from the recyclables) and we will use these dollars to purchase the materials needed to make the Christmas projects we have planned for you. Any money left over from the recycling collected will go to Joints in Motion.
If you are interested in donating your recyclables please contact Holly or I at the above addresses.

Again, Thank you for your support in our first fundraising event and we hope you will join us in November, a reunion of sorts and a chance to (as Jaime put it) 'Change the World, one piece of Paper at a time'.

Happy Stamper,
Myleta
