Surprise!

As I was walking out my front door on my way to school this morning I had a little surprise....
Look what landed in my yard overnight!  We were flocked!  I loved the flamingo flocking fundraiser that Promise to Kate foundation has been doing but I had no idea I would have a flock land in MY yard!  LOL  My little brother and sister loved it.  They have named all the flamingos and want them to stay forever. 

We were flocked!

Bake Sale at Kindergarten Round Up Night

Many of the kids in the Promise to Kate Junior Board attend Chets Creek Elementary School.  Each year the school does a "Kindergarten Round Up" one evening in April for kids that will be coming to school there in the fall.  We thought that might be a good place to set up a table for a bake sale!  So my awesome Junior Board members baked and wrapped cookies and brownies and some brought cupcakes. 

We greeted the sweet new incoming kindergarteners with smiles and many families not only bought baked goods, but left donations as well.  We raised over $200 that night! 

In our first 6 months as a group, this Junior Board has raised over $1500.00 for Promise to Kate foundation.  WOW!  I keep reminding the kids that every dollar will help scientists with research and hospitals with treating kids with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy and similar health problems.  They may be small but these kids are making a BIG difference.  Go PTK Jr. Board!  Can't wait to see what we come up with next!

Mochi Night Fundraiser

Have you ever had delicious Mochi frozen yogurt?  If not, you don't know what you are missing!  And you never know what new flavors or topping will be there the next time you go.  Yummy!  A personal favorite.

The Conte Family

Then I found out that our neighborhood Mochi was allowing groups to have fundraising nights.  The Promise to Kate Junior Board and I set up our first Mochi night several days ago and it was a hit!  My sunshine princesses Lexie and Lauren were there thanking people for coming and asking them to put their receipts in the bucket for us to get 20% profit of the evening's sales.  Many other Junior Board members stopped by to help, buy some Mochi for themselves and also spread the word.  Even Kate's family came by to enjoy some Mochi!

The wonderful owner of Hodges Pointe Mochi, Patti Bethea, let us know the next morning that we made over $500 for PTK!   That was a tally of the 20% of receipts from the evening as well as a generous donation from Ms. Bethea herself.  Thank you so much!  We will frequent Mochi often and hope to do another fundraiser with you in the future!  And thank you to all our sweet friends and family that came out to support us.  More photos from the evening are here.

And I just have to ask...what's your favorite flavor?  My mom and I love Taro...
