tightness in head from cold
I’m participating in the 40 Hour Famine this year! It’s been quite some time since I last did it in high school…
I remember doing it 3 years in a row from Year 9 thru Year 11… so this would be my fourth experience.
Receipt books were first issued out last Friday @ church. The Youth AsSalt group are leading the organisation of this within the church, but thru JT, there are a handful of us at FOCUS who are participating…
I got my first sponsor that night at FOCUS, but then we agreed that FOCUS as a group would collect a single donation to avoid each of us targeting the same people.
Saturday I got 6 sponsors, plus ALL were paying up-front. 1 friend from an afternoon catch-up, while the 5 others were targeted while at my church Men’s Lawn Bowls activity.
Another 6 donated after the Sunday 10am service, except I had my first IOU.
On Monday I used up the remaining 5 receipt butts at work – only 3 IOUs…
Encouraged by all the support ($152 in total) I made an ONLINE donation using my credit card… So my current total stands at $352
So, on Tuesday (yesterday at time of writing), I emailed the Youth AsSalt organiser for more receipt books! Last night at music practice I received another two! So, today (Wednesday) I’m back in business!
WUHOO!
