Today, Friday, May 6th, was the BBQ fundraiser. I think is was successful. I did not meet my plate goal; however, with the help I had the 325 plates was all we could handle! My niece, Nicki, helped me sell tickets. My sister-in-law baked all my cakes (12 or 13). Laura, Jen, and Mom & Nicki helped me deliver! Plates were brought to me at 9am. Lucy, Jen and I had the cake and papers in them, sorted into routes, and ready to go at 10:15am. Awesome job Ladies!! Thanks soooo much for all the help. I could not have done it without you! Particularly since I worked an average of 30 hours a week and did some of my ESL observations!!
Finished my Master's class for this semester with an A! WooHoo! Learned ALOT!
Now I have to work the next 4 days and then observe at school on Wednesday. Hopefully I will finish my observation hours up then which will just leave completing my reflections.
Now on to the next phase!
The Carolina Faith Riders are planning a bike/car show with hotdog plates, games, door prizes, etc. to raise money for my trip. This will be on Saturday, June 18th. The time has not been set yet, nor the price for a spot to show your car, truck or motorcycle. As soon as we have all the details worked out I will post a flyer either here or on my web site! Stay tuned!
Also, Ladies, Shannon White will be holding a couponing class in the near future. The fee will be nominal and proceeds will go to my funding needs.
Anyone who would like to help with donations can help with the car show or go online to http://www.worldteach.org/ and click the 'donate now' button, please be sure to put my name, Tammy Simmons, and the program I am participating in, China program, in the "gift for" space so I will get credit for it; otherwise it will be credited to the general fund not my fund.
Thanks for following this journey!
