Ah the Joy of Fundraising...

Hi everyone,

So the 12 of us are embroiled in the fundraising craze. I would just like to preface this by saying that I hate asking people for money. So just know that everytime I hand you a flyer or send you a letter, there's a little piece of me that's dying...That being said this is such a hard-working group of 12 people. It is not easy to all pick an idea and then execute but I think we're doing a good job! The hardest part is that any profit we do actually make must be split between 12 people (Oy vey). Here's what we have done so far:

1. Mocktails- The South Asian Committee kindly allowed us to sell mocktails at their annual dinner. We made almost $200!!! Phu is an absolute whiz at drink mixing and everyone else worked hard to help!

2. Silent Auction- Right now we are hosting an online silent auction! The students, faculty, and staff have been ridiculously generous both in donations and in bids! Here's the link: http://www.32auctions.com/organizations/3452/auctions/3841

3. Raffle- We are holding a raffle down at the Wooster Jam!

Thank you again everyone! You have no idea how grateful we all are :)

Also almost completely unrelated note: Kristen Connors (who in addition to being a wonderful roommate last year, is also a member of GSE!!) has a blog! Check it out:
