Blog for October

This month has been busy due to it being disaster preparedness month! We set-up a booth at the Volunteer fair at Yardbirds and I also had a group of 30 volunteers come out the same day to paint a home. We also set-up a booth with a newly developed obstacle course to get patrons more involved and interested in our booth/organization. That same day we had a group of 35 come out to install insulation at a client's home as well as paint the house and do some landscaping. We are currently working on a fundraiser event scheduled for November 14th and I am working on developing the newslatter and donation forms, as well as getting some of live auction items together. I will also be working on collecting the volunteer hours for the months prior to my servicec and reporting so that we can provide more accurate information for grant applications. I have been updating the website with stories and oppotunities to volunteer as our facebook page. I have been taking pictures in segments of the process of home rebuild and will be making a powerpoint for the fundraiser. If anyone would like to help with working at the fundraiser that would be greatly appreciated as well as if you woulld like to set-up a booth for your organization that would also be acceptable! and if you would like to come to participate in the live auction and silent auction the cover charge is $10. It will take place @ The Red Barn, on 207 Goff Road Chehalis, WA. Saturday November 14th from 2 PM to 5:30 PM * There will be live music and appetizers throughout the afternoon*

If you are willing to work at the fundraiser there is no cover charge!
