To the Alices Who Make My Life a Wonderland

"October is here now but it was much pleasanter at home," thought poor Alice, "when one wasn't always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit hole---and yet---and yet---it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life, isn't it?"

I can tell you this fundraising thing is a lot of work and not always much fun. But I know it's making a difference and I thank you all so much for helping to make that difference possible. This last campaign for the Home of Hope orphanage raised $3,390 plus matching donor/spot for $10,100 =$13,490! Specific thanks to:

1. Miranda Soffian - $100
2. David Duncan - $101
3. Donna Bellamy - $125
4. Alisa Starke - $150
5. Lee Ann Sierecki - $100
6. Donna Weiss - $10
7. Leah Reynolds - $100
8. Renee Rotkopf - $100
9. Sharon McNulty - $250
10. Jonathan Avigdori -$100
11. Lourdes Mestre - $101
12. Jason Singer - $50
13. Steve Centrillo - $101
14. Christine Haskins - $101
15. Sandra Borgonovo - $101
16. Anonymous Couple - $1,800

ADDITIONAL DONATIONS TO DATE: $2,002

TOTAL RAISED FROM THIS CAMPAIGN: $3,390

PLUS A CASH ADVANCE FROM MY MATCHING DONOR!
I'm being spotted the remaining $6,710 (for a total donation of $10,100), on my promise to meet my goal to raise $101,000.

Which brings the amount raised to date up by $12,102 ($2,002 + $10,100) for a
GRAND TOTAL of $48,272.68

ALICE: Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is -- oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!

The next fundraiser(s) has to bring it home. I'm thinking 'singles mixer' in NYC (or multi-city, somehow). I'm working with some friends now to pull together an awesome party you won't want to miss.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?

Thanks!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I
find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and extremely broad
for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

May I simply say what a relief to find someone that really knows what they are talking about over the
internet. You actually understand how to bring a problem to light and
make it important. More and more people must check
this out and understand this side of your story.
It's surprising you are not more popular because you definitely have the gift.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon.
Kudos
