Tuesday March 12/13  update #390

Bella was off to doll class today while I did multiple uploads of photos.

Then we had another meeting of Hearts Of Gold again for planning the Silent Auction and Sale.  I delivered the Galapagos collage and had to take a group photo of the volunteers.    One of the volunteers reminds me so much of Jim Farrelly at my old office, it is scary.

The meeting centered on proofing and suggesting improvements to the literature we will be needing for requesting donations and for promoting the Foundation. 

Tarek has done such a wonderful job on the prototypes that I hope he isn’t upset at the multitude of changes that were suggested.  Many of the suggestions were for more concise and bilingual work.  We can all get carried away with our verbiage, but six separate paragraphs trying to say what we do in six different ways was a bit overboard.   Our Mission says it succinctly enough.

Now I have to get to work and start doing the Bid Sheets for the many items that have been donated.   I will have to get it straight in my head how I will want to number the items so the bigger ticket items are spread around, and we also want to colour-code them so we can close off items in stages, saving the bigger items for the end.   I also have to re-do the Gift Certificate templates, etc so I have to put on my designing hat so everything will be ready for another meeting on Thursday.

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.    Please see all new photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
