Orphanage Fundraiser Wrap-up

UPDATE V: A strong close allowed us to meet and surpass our goal. We ended up just a hair shy of $1500. Thanks to all who generously donated. I will post a report on our visit, complete with pictures next week.

UPDATE IV: Thanks to a couple of very generous donations, we're within one hundred dollars of our goal. A hundo? That's nuthin'. Atomizer spends that much on Jack Bauer action figures dolls a year. Let's close the gap.

************************************************

It's time once again for our somewhat annual, semi-regular fundraiser for the Misericordia Orphanage in Chihuahua, Mexico. This is the third year that we've been soliciting funds for this very worthy cause. Here's a report on the 2006 effort.

If you would like to make a contribution to the cause--100% of your donation goes straight to the orphanage--you can do so via PayPal or if you're the sort of who doesn't trust all that new fangled finance, you can drop me an e-mail at rightwinger23@hotmail.com and I can let you know where you can send a check.

But time is of the essence. The window for this year's drive will be compressed. Our goal is to raise $1000 through a combination of on-line donations and fundraising at the workplace and I would like to have a pretty good idea of where we're at the by the end of the day on Saturday.

Thanks as always for your support.

UPDATE: We're off to a good start and already almost a third of the way to the goal.

UPDATE II: Forty percent and risin'.

UPDATE III: C'mon people. Don't make turn this into an NPResque fundraising with desperate hourly pleas and Atomizer hawking "free" Fraters totebags is you donate now.
