So my fundraising campaign began yesterday. Unfortunately it got off to a slow start on account of the pouring rain. The scooter is just not that fun to ride in the rain. Today was a bit better and I managed to distribute letters far and wide. I also have started with organizing a coffee-house fundraiser. The tentative date is the 20th of June. I'm hoping to hold it in the Ross Street Plaza if they let me use it for free.
So far, my running tally is:
-$20
-around 60 handmade postcards
-2 nights in Bill and Laurie's guest house
-Lorraine Ellens' organizing skills
- around 50 requests for money or things to go in a silent auction
I also went in to get vaccinated today. Wow, now I will not get typhoid, yellow fever or hepatitis A. I still don't know where in Bolivia I'm going to be so I may have to take malaria tablets while I'm there too! Well at least the vaccinations aren't as bad as the diseases.
I am now heading off to Vancouver for a couple of days. If anyone wants to help out with the coffeehouse give me a shout. I don't mean just performers, we are going to need set up, take down, dessert bakers, money collectors, sound technicians, poster creators, poster putter-uppers, and a whole host of other wonderful people. I also expect I will need someone to follow me around and tell me it will all work out OK :P Anyways, take care all
Anna

typhoid would be bad but imagine the stories you could tell if you fell to yellow fever
