It was a big fundraising month. We started off the month with our Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament. We ended up with 24 players and the net proceeds totaled $1,100. I will be splitting the net proceeds with my sister. And you can still buy our Saving Sisters handmade 100% soy wax candles until the end of the month. It looks like the candles will bring in another $150-$200 in net proceeds for me. Wow that brings my fundraising total to almost $1,500. While these fundraisers were successful, my Paws for a Cause afternoon of games had to be postponed due to lack of sign ups. Bummer, the good news is that several people expressed interest but had scheduling conflicts. As April closes, I'm looking ahead and anticipating that the summer will be huge for Paws for a Cause events. The memory stones will be back for the Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day weekend boarders. The afternoon of games will be rescheduled for this summer and I anticipate an awesome event with great prizes and participation. And I'm toying with the idea of a dog wash. Stay tuned for more details on all of the Paws for a Cause events.
Unfortunately, my training suffered during April. While I always walk each week because of dog walks, these walks are shorter and slower than what I need to be doing to be fully prepared for the 60 miles over the 3 days come October. So in May I will be focusing on starting and committing to a training schedule that includes longer and faster walks sans the dogs a couple of times each week.
And finally, we had an awesome opportunity to raise awareness for the cause and event when the Shenandoah Valley Journal ran an article about my sister and I and our poker tournament.
