long time...no blog...

it's been almost a month since i posted here! not much was going on i guess.

we had our monthly room to read meeting last night and we discussed our big fall event which sounds like it will go off without much chapter support necessary, which is nice. it's going to be a very fancy house in boulder and it sounds like the hosts are taking care of everything.
so we discussed last night where else we could focus our attention and the thing that we always come back to is raising awareness and how do we get more volunteers!
polly and chris sort of took me aside after the meeting and mentioned they'd still like us to try to get some sort of younger 'hip' event put together and maybe if we take the focus off the fundraising and have it as more of an awareness event we'd be more successful.
so i emailed the old group to see if anyone is interested. so far my sister has said she'll help. i think i'm going to try to recruit a fellow co-worker who has had two fundraisers in the last 6 months that are sort of the style i'd like to accomplish.
the only thing is they want it to be a holiday event. which means soon and which means i'm not sure how much time i'll have because i always work a holiday job.
so we'll see.
