Thank You

I have been meaning to post a thank you here for all of those folks who contributed to NBTF to make our goal of raising $500. So here it is:

THANK YOU!!!

I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed at the amount of money we were able to raise in a short time. I hope that people will continue to contribute to NBTF. Every day, more people are diagnosed with brain tumors, more people need support, more research is needed. This is one of those causes that is unambiguously good.

Now that we have made that goal, I am thinking of raising it to $750. I put in a query to NBTF to see if they would leave the Team Samara page up indefinitely so that I could just continue to direct contributions that way, but I have not yet heard back. I will post when I do.

Oy! Another blog.

Feh. I know. Everyone and his uncle has a blog. There are zillions of words that are being typed into cyberspace... forgetable, regretable words. And I am contributing to the morass. In fact, I already have a personal sewing blog... a fact which is of absolutely no consequence because nobody on earth ever reads that blog. Not even Mr. Yak. It is chock full of my weird little sewing projects, but because I am naturally a paranoid person, I do not put anything in it that would potentially a) identify me and mine or b) be considered remotely incindiary.

But a blog does not need to be a diary.

In this case the blog will serve as an announcement board for when I update the pattern, change philanthropic efforts or meet goals. And I am also hoping to get some feedback on the pattern via the blog as well. I don't intend for it to be something that is updated unless there is a specific need. So you've been warned.

You might be wondering why I would change philanthropic efforts. And if you aren't, I will tell you why anyway. I am pretty sure that the NBTF/First-giving site that I've been using will be pulling the Team Samara website down in a month or so. They do these walks every year, and they remove the old teams in preparation for next year's event. I will have to find some other related charity to feature when this opportunity goes away.

Suggestions are welcome.

Anyway, welcome to... Yet. Another. pleonastiK. Blog.
