Here is my 411:
- I am still writing the script/outline for school presentations
- No more takers on school presentations; I'm hoping that they'll surface after the winter break because they need things to keep the kids busy
- Have one volunteer interested in helping with the program; yippy!
- Putting together a plan of attack for blitzing the school for 2009-2010 school year and looking to camps
- As far as grants go, we have one due for Jan 1 dealing with the 2010 calendar/book.

Later!

Last time I wrote I probably seemed excited about the chance of possibly getting help from Coke. But guess what? I can't even get the person who they have dedicated to volunteering at Coke, who gets paid to do that and only that, to even respond to my simple email asking for information.
Yet, I get Coke in my face everyday asking me for stuff. United Way, clothes for homeless, pajamas for children, food for Hosea House. Not that these aren't worthwhile efforts. But why am I being begged for stuff now that it's the holidays? Do homeless people have it easy every other month of the year? I'm sick and tired of people who only give a shit when it suits them. We all bust our asses all year long for the most mistreated creatures and get little to show for it. We can't even get our own adopters to take care of their responsibilities. Things get too hard and they come back to us begging--during the holidays. I hate people. Merry f***ing Christmas.
