Thread: New Fundraising & Awareness Ideas?

  1. #11
    This may have been already been talked about..
    But what if when members are sending letter's to magazine's/newspapers they pop a disc in with our CDH ribbon on it. In the letter, members could request the ribbon be used as a community service ad! I know in Australia papers do put community ads in as fillers.
    (the only cost would be the disc and the postage)

    I think this is a grand idea.
    I wonder if we could send the ribbon and use the one's that have our chilrdren's picture on it. You could cut and paste it to your letter.
    So, when are you going to send the letter and ribbon to Australia papers????
    I am so not computer savy--how are you going to put it the ribbon on a disk? Just save it? Like I said, not computer savy. But I can tell you that I have learned So much from members and especially Barb Wagner. SHE ROCKS!!!!!
    It is good to learn something new everyday. Right???lol
    Except for bad things--but that is all apart of life.

    I have all but a few of my buttons passed out and I posted Landen's personalized ribbon at work. All the girls I work with are so excited to wear their buttons for me! I have such a good support system at work and they all love Landen!!

    Corin-Yes I am keeping very busy between work, awareness stuff and of course little Landen. He keeps me very busy everyday. Landen is doing wonderful. He is growing up so fast. I can't believe he is 6 months old already! time sure does fly by. He is rolling all over the place. Our ped thinks he will skip crawling and go straight to walking....aaahhhhh! I'm not ready for that and neither is my house! He is so amazing and I am so lucky to be his mom. thanks for aksing about him! how's Makayla doing? She is gorgeous! I love the new pic on your signature.

    Kristen-Oh geez-right to walking-sounds like he is an active little boy It's good to hear he is doing so well. Any hair yet

    Time does go by to quickly-I keep telling Ayla she has to stay little forever, but I don't think she's listening to me. She is already almost 12 lbs! She is doing great-getting over a cold right now which isn't great, but overall she is amazing. I just can't get over the fact that she's actually mine I love being a mommy!

    No hair yet...as you can see in my avatar pic. he is bald...or at least its really blonde and you can't really tell if he has any hair. and he has these to die for bright blue eyes! Wow, Makayla is 12 lbs already! Sounds like she is healthy eater. She is catching up to Landen. He weighed in a couple weeks ago at our 6 month check up at 13 lbs 14 oz..only in the 3rd percentile for weight but he's really long. he's going to be tall and skinny just like his dad! My husband was a skinny kid growing up. Landen is my little peanut!

YEAH SHELBY!!! She is still in the 3rd percentile for her age--but hey, she is gaining and that to us is FANTASTIC!!!!

    Steph-that's awesome that she is gaining weight! Go Shelby, Go! I'm sure Landen will eventually catch up in weight...just gotta give him time. And yes, I do work with the most amazing group of women ever. they are so supportive of me!
