Fundraisers gone by :) - You did great Robynn fans!

Just for fun, we've kept/combined posts from our previous fundraising efforts and stuck them all in one place. Maybe reading them over will spark up yet another idea for a great event! Events are shown oldest to newest. :)
* Our BIG Blood Drive and Fundraising event was a success - thanks to all of you! Held Friday, April 4, 2008 - West Sacramento
We are hosting a blood drive just for Robynn!
Friday, April 4th from 3:00 - 7:00 PM
Our Lady of Grace School in West Sacramento!
If you have a BROWN shirt - wear it!

Blood drive will take place inside gymnasium
Bake sale AND silent auction will take place outside of gym
West Sac moms and family members will be baking like crazy, and we've had very generous auction items donated - even a few beautiful handsewn items arrived from Robynn's Grandmother! Talk about getting in on the action! There will be something for you - please come!

HOT OFF THE PRESS! Missy Harker with Hayjac (aka "Robynn's necklaces") will be taking part in this event with an online orders promotion through our event date of April 4th! Visit www.hayjac.com to place your order and Robynn will receive $20 from every necklace order placed, and $30 for every bracelet order placed - wow! Pretty impressive! To place your order, follow these simple steps:
1) Visit www.hayjac.com
2) Pick out one of their beautiful jewelry items (remember, Mother's Day is coming!)
3) Place your order ONLINE and use Robynn as a reference! When you are checking out and get to the billing page, you will see a line that reads "referred by" - simply choose Robynn Goodell - it's that simple!
If you don't want to place your order before hand, you may place it at the event as well - no problem!

Thank you Missy and Hayjac Designs, and Debbie "Deb" McCann for coming up with the idea!

Heading for the book store? STOP! Wait until you see the books being offered at Robynn's shindig! Kristy Ware and Carol Shaffer (aka author CK Wafer) will be on hand doing a special "Buck a Book" program on their children's books! The deal is, Robynn gets a "buck" for each book sold during this promotion AND to make it extra special, they will be MATCHING each buck with a buck of their own! That's $2.00 for Robynn PER book! Awesome! If you can't make it but want to order a book, simply visit their website at http://www.adventuresofbradybean.com and mention Robynn when placing your order. Kristy and Carol are some of Robynn's high school pals that are putting on the big poker event - thanks ladies!
