With just under a month to go, I'm starting to do the rounds again, reminding people who otherwise might have forgotten. This does mean the tedium of mass-mailing on fetlife, but for Erin's suit, it's worth it!
I'm also, at this point, starting to relook at the distribution list, and start adding people who might have fallen off the initial list (or who weren't online initially) to spread the idea out far and wide. At this short a timeframe, it's time to go for gold, pull together as a team, and any number of other hackneyed sporting analogies!
This week, we've not received any donations, so our tally remains at $1555 (which is nothing to sneeze at!). Even if we get no more donations in the next month, I'm pretty happy with the donations we've received, and I thank everyone who's contributed, once again!
On another note, I've mentioned in the mailout that I'm planning to make sure I have a camera present at the Big Reveal, so that everyone who's donated can see the look on Erin's face when we show him all the hard work we've put into this gift for him. It occurs to me, however, that I should also give people the opportunity to actually be there as well. So, I'm going to give people that option - closer to the date, anyone who's expressed an interest in being there in person for the Big Reveal I'll happily give details of the time and place (for planning purposes, I'm planning on the reveal happening around 12-2pm on Erin's birthday, September the 18th). Feel free to let me know, anyway you can get in touch with me, if that sounds like a whole lot of fun. :)
