$90 – $90 – $90

Heh?  No, we are not giving out free money.  That’s what we made after begging, crying and almost crawling on our knees asking for more AUW donations.  But it worked – we got $90 worth of donations added to our KCC AUW fundraiser and the wristbands were a hit.  We are now at 98% of our goal!  Yippee!  We are sure we will hit our goal by Halloween!  Whew!  Bet you were worried that we would turn into meaner witches if we didn’t make our goal.  Lucky you!   We will be in café today, tomorrow and the next day from 11:30 – 12:30 pm.  Wonder if we got those small red/orange fish nets and walked around with the wristbands asking for donations we’d get more $$$?  Nah, too embarrassing!

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for all your donations.  Love & kisses 2014 AUW Committee

WE’RE BACK!

Today is Monday, 10/27/2014 – thought you got rid of us!  Nope!  We’re still hanging in even though that string is mighty thin (and soon if not sooner it’s going to “break” because it won’t be able to hold our committee’s weight).  No presents for the past three days!  So sad!  Anyway, how was your weekend – made a lot of money? – good!  Send some our way – the Aloha United Way!  Here’s the good news – only 9% more to go!  Need only $1005.00 more!  Close but not close enough!  Are we being so witchy?  Yes, we are!

Again, thank you very much to those that have sent in their pledges and to those that haven’t, we haven’t given up hope!

Love and kisses – 2014 Aloha United Way Committee
