All I Want for Christmas…

December is quickly disappearing….

The last two weeks Stu and I, as well as his team have been working on a major fundraiser that we have done the last two years on line.  It is called “Predictions 2008.”  We have over 30 people that are involved, including some of the world’s top Marketers.

At a time when I should be over the moon, I must admit that I am a little frustrated.

We have been waiting for official charitable status for over a year now.  It seems like we were so close a month ago, you may recall my post about the “Two Weeks”.  Well that times has come and gone, in fact it has actually been four weeks.

Every day I check my email (sometimes 5 times a day at school) hoping to get the good news…but no word yet.  At this time I would ask that you keep your fingers crossed that it happens soon…

Every day I’m also glad that I  didn’t sit around and wait for status or hundreds of children would not be in school today getting taught by teachers we have sponsored, thanks to YOU and your generous support and encouragement.

I also continually think of all the things that I can’t wait to do when I become more “official”….sponsorships for my Write to Give Books, our Write to Give Day, online Gift Shop…..I could go on and on :)

Anyways, that is enough of my venting!

So for this Christmas I would like to make a request.

All I want for Christmas is my Charitable ID.

That is all for now :)   Amy

    My wife and I are elementary school teachers (both with graduate degrees) and 30 years combined in teaching. We want to volunteer to teach somewhere this summer for 4-6 weeks. Could you recommend some organizations I could check into? We do not have $5000 to spend.
