Paper Arts A Thon is a Fundraiser for ‘Joints in Motion’ and the Arthritis Society. Every participant has received a pledge sheet. I have had a few Paper Artists tell me that canvassing for pledges just isn’t easy for them to do.
I wanted to share with you some of the ‘creative’ alternatives they have come up with to raise money for ‘Joints in Motion’ and the ‘Arthritis Society’.
One Paper Artist is making handmade items and selling them. You may know her as Paper Memories and as she posted on her blog a while ago, she has raised $150. (Check out her Countdown to Paper Arts A Thon)
Another Paper Artist starting tucking ONE DOLLAR A DAY away, when this event was first announced.
Another ‘inventive’ and ‘ecological’ way to raise $$$’s is to turn in your recyclables and donate the dollars through your pledge sheet.
I had someone else tell me that canvassing for Pledges just isn’t for them and they are donating out of their own pocket what they might consider a ‘Registration Fee’ since there is no such fee to attend Paper Arts A Thon.
All great ideas! And all for a worthy cause! If you would like to share your ideas please post to the comments page.
See you on the 26th,
Happy Stamper

Paper Arts A Thon is Well Underway!
With nearly half the spaces filled this event is well underway. Our commitee of four met last evening to go over what has been happening and to fine tune our plans.
1. We have decided to do a few 'Half Paper Arts A Thon' spaces for those who might find it difficult to stay the full 24 hours. We only have 4 spaces available and it will be first come first serve. (After the 4 your name will go on a waiting list). You will start at 10:00 am Saturday and go to 10:00 pm that evening. Your name will go in the draws that are during that time frame.
2. There are spaces for 40 full Paper Arts A Thon particpants and we are at the halfway mark for these.
3. All meals, snacks, drinks are included. Not to worry ladies, you will not leave this event, hungry or thirsty!
4. During the day we will have several Make 'N Take projects available for you to do. The materials for these projects will be donated and so we are asking that if you wish to do these Make 'N Takes you will make a donation toward them, with all proceeds going to the Arthritis Society.
5. Each particpant will receive a 'Goodie Bag' AND your name will be placed in, not a hat but a decorated Paint Can, for HOURLY Draws!
6. Several 'Raffles' will soon be under way. (As soon as we get our lottery numbers.) The draws for these items will take place on the 27th May before we leave the Fire Hall. Some of the items to be raffled are:
Stampin' Up! Goodie Basket- hodge podge hardware kit, set of stamps, Itty Bitty Book, 12x12 patterned paper, 12x12 cardstock, etc. Valued at $150.+
