It has been a while since I last wrote. Frank has not been well and undergoing Chemotherapy, Radiation followed by Surgery and then followed by another 6months of Chemotherapy. Let's hope it is over Chemotherapy is. Another surgery October?
We will now once again focus on raising funds to support the widows and orphans in Zimbabwe. We never really stopped. I just did it in a different and smaller way.
I have been enjoying a more personal fundraising which has been most successful. I have been holding dinners for 8 in private homes. The hostess invites friends I go in with the 3 course meal. The hostess provides dessert and drinks. I present what we do as a society via video, powerpoint and stories. Guests support a child with a weekly meal for a year. $60. Everyone enjoys the evening. The children are fed. At first the hostesses are somewhat reluctant to ask guests to attend a fundraiser in their homes but once they hear the guests thank them for the oportunity to learn and make a difference in the world they book another and another, We call it "Dinner with a Purpose". Fun and purposful.
