Fundraising

Today at a flood recovery meeting we were talking about fundraising ideas. The committee wants to come up with a catchy slogan like SaveOurRiver.com and print it on large banners to be hung at the gawker magnet spots along the river as well as other highly visible areas. I'm not good at that kind of thing, so didn't have any ideas.

I have been making doll aprons, modeled here by the hedgehog Lionel.

My grandmother had an apron like this with the straps crossed in back. It needs some yellow rickrack to make it cute.

Lionel has such a nice look about him.

Love Lionel and the aprons!

I put some tiny yellow rickrack on the top edge of the pockets on that green apron to give it some pizazz.

I've decided I need to buy one of the off-brand versions of the doll to try the clothes on because although Lionel means well, and he'd never complain, his shape just doesn't quite do it for those clothes. But I won't tell him that, I'll think of something so his feelings aren't hurt.

But I don't think Lionel would like having his butt shown all over mybloggers!!!!

It's an apron - but I know what you mean - it could be a hospital gown.

I had no idea hedgehogs were so cute. You need to people know how to donate, and the signs might give information. Also local shops might have donation jars. A website asking for donations might work too.

Oh, they're doing all those things, and more. They are going to get the local hockey team to do Chuck a Puck to raise money - no idea what that is, but sounds funny.

That one where Lionel is facing into the corner looks like he's in Time Out.
