[NHLakesChapter] Results of our FUNDrive with Saver's

[Abbotts]

Hello Federation friends & family,

Thank you all very much for your kind words! I wanted to send a separate email that highlights our efforts from our event yesterday. 

I first have to thank all those who worked collaboratively with my husband and I to make our first fundraiser a success. Kelley and her husband came to help us empty the storage unit and load the 20’ box truck with my friend and her son. Special shout out to our new sighted member Lisa who came through in a major way with many, many drops offs. Lisa brought 7 car loads to our storage unit and helped push our totals, she is an amazing addition to our Federation efforts and family. To all of you who donated and worked with us to collaborate pick ups and drops offs I am grateful for your patience and communication. 

Kelley and I will be sending pictures of our event to Fred for the website to highlight our event and the volunteers who sweated it out with us yesterday. Thank you Kelley for being so kind to bring water for us all! It was a hot, humid day. 

We must thank our kind and generous supporters:

Northwood Self Storage donated a 10x15 storage unit #436 without hesitation 
U-Haul of Rochester, NH donated a 20’ box truck for our delivery 

Are you ready for this … we collected 3,663 pounds!!

We collected over 3000 lbs, so I believe we get reimbursed for our first truck rentals and collection at the Manchester Mall. I think we will receive a $75.00 reimbursement for them. Secondly, I think we get more money per pound if we go over the 3000 lbs. Kristi from Saver’s will confirm our totals with me for direct deposit into our affiliate bank account early next week. 

My rough estimate of our efforts raised $740.00. Way to go everyone!

I will be working diligently this coming week on setting up the gaming night event and giving the go-ahead to Hannaford’s for the reusable bag fundraiser.

Lastly, I have to shout out again to all those who participated and worked with us to make this happen. I am truly grateful to everyone!

I wish you all a blessed day, kindly
Melissa
