[Oagdu] Fundraising ideas...

[Marianne Denning]

Just to add to this, I have completed everything and we now have an
account with Rada Cutlery.  We can share the link so that if people
order from that link the money will go directly into our OAGDU
account.  That really goes nicely with the baking too.  I am
sooooooooooooo good.  Okay, Deanna, I don't need any comments from you
either.
