Can anybody play?

Really good idea, Honey. If we write them down it's much more likely our goals or otherwise will get done, we've made it concrete, or "real" to ourselves that much more. Good luck, your list looks fun and rewarding!

On the fundraising bit--good fundraisers that I know of are:

ethnic dinners with entertainment, presuming you have someone or a group of people who can donate the food and entertainment of course (our church has done both a Swiss-German dinner with an accordionist and a Phillipino dinner with native dancers afterwards)

raffles

silent auctions

"angels"--you have a lot of angels made up, either paper mache, wooden, what have you, and give those to people who make a $5 or more donation. You could make these anything of course, not just angels. You could do cute cows, sheep, bunnies, dolls, whatever.

Things I'd like to do before I'm 40 (this is only six years away, Holy Cow!)

*conquer the eating disorder
*have two more kids (haven't told DH about this one yet, somewhere along the line I changed my mind from wanting two kids to wanting three, what's come over me?!)
*have a "real" family vacation that's just for us, preferably at a beach
*make a blanket for Project Linus, an afghan for Warm Up America, and a nicer hat for ChemoCaps than the one I made last year (a trainwreck).
*get me one of the TNH tshirts
