The Fundraiser is on a Roll!
I am so very happy and humbled by the outpouring of support for our upcoming charity auction to benefit various Haitian relief organizations. Here are a list of contributions made thus far (in no particular order):
* Signed copy of Small Worlds: Adopted Sons, Pet Piranhas, And Other Mortal Concerns donated by the author.
* $25 Gift Certificate to Pro Libris Bookstore donated by Eric Furry.
* Handmade Waldorf doll featured in Meg McElwee's upcoming book created and donated by Meg McElwee of Sew Liberated.
* Signed photographs of "Crazy James" and other Big Brother 10 stars donated by James Zinkand.
* An Elephant Sanctuary t-shirt donated by The Elephant Sanctuary.
* A handmade necklace by nationally renowned native artist Jason Brown donated by Jason himself.
* A handmade sweet grass sewing basket created by Donna Brown (an amazing native artist in her own right / also the wife of Jason Brown) donated by Donna herself.
* A photographic art piece by Liz Grandmaison donated by Liz herself.
* A photographic art piece by Jessie Fields donated by Jessie herself.
* A portrait session for one by JLR Photography of Studio 36 donated by me.

* A handmade "Party in a Bag" created and donated by Kelly of Wood Sprite Hollow.

And oh so much more is in the works. Our friends at Bangor Photo are going to help ... as well as some amazing local artists who are making pieces specifically for this effort. I have also put in word with some Maine "celebs" and am awaiting confirmation of some interesting goodies to add to our auction. In the words of Liz Grandmaison, "Let's Rock This Thing!".
I have yet to go knocking on the doors of area businesses --- but that will happen asap. If you have offered an item/service and do not see it on this list, please let me know. AND/OR if you know of anyone who may be interested in donating an item, please let me know asap.
All items can be sent to:

Hi Jodi, this is Jaci, you may not remember me but we worked together with the mission wolf project years back at the community college. I read the article in the BDN and I wanted to drop you a line! I hope you find all is well with Issac's birth family. I wish I could come to the fundraiser but I live in Van Buren now (4hours out of Bangor) and have 2 kiddos of my own now. But I do wish you all the best of luck! Email me anytime at TheMomDaily@gmail.com
