Although I’m Fundraising Chair of the Des Moines Chapter, I want to give you an opportunity to participate in this fun project, and, as I said, any funds raised are designated for the BELL Academy. You can take a challenge by giving up something you’d normally buy and donate the saved amount to the Chapter, do something you choose to do and pay yourself as you accomplish your goals and donate the profit to the Chapter, or do both challenges. We started Saturday and we’ll collect the funds at the October 14<sup>th</sup> Chapter Meeting. Some of us are giving up something we eat too much, e.g., chocolate, some of us are paying ourselves to walk a mile every so many days, anything that will help us form better life habits and put money into a Chapter fund. I can save $7.00 per month by giving up Peanut Butter Cups. I can pay myself $2.00 each day I walk 12 blocks or a mile. By October 14<sup>th</sup>, I’ll have a good amount to donate. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> This is a good project because:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You can do it anywhere, anytime,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You are on your honor; your logs of accomplishment are private, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Even if you cheat and don’t do all of it as planned, you’ll still be able to donate and no one will know you cheated, and<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You’ll do good things for yourself and the Federation. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> If you interested, let me know and I’ll get your name on the list of people accepting the challenge.
