Are you kidding? I found tropical fish shaped balloons! So they'll be fish swimming throughout the place and blue and green lights and streamers to create an ocean effect and sushi!
That all sounds great, Allyson. I am definitely going to be there.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

You said the magic Lee word, Allyson
sushi!
It sounds like a great bash, and I'm sure you'll do your usual superb job.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So a mailing or two should not be a problem.
It's an email list, and they offered to send it, so they just have to send our press release to the list. I don't want them to have to spend any money on anything besides the postage for mailing receipts.

Allyson -- The party will ROCK. Yours always do. You will BOULDER. You always do. And remember -- I am always right. So, no worries.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HMOG, you are a charity's dream. When outside groups have approached the place where I work, they always want us (the charity) to get the people there -- invitations, follow-up, tickets, blah blah blah. Tons of time and money.

FWIW, I agree with Jesse. An e-mail or 2 is no problem. If you want their entire member list AND you want them to print invitations for that list AND stuff the envelopes AND mail them, that is what is annoying.
Also, Allyson is reminding me:
My office runs a class on youth entrprenuership and a lot of the ideas are dumb or annoying, BUT we have this wonderful 15 year old girl who wants to do stuff a lot like what Allyson is doing. She has done a lot of volunteer work with her family overseas, and she wants to raise money here to give to chairties where she has worked, by doing events here where she showcases work/items/crafts/etc that the charity people over there are doing. She is a great young girl and jsut made her first presentation to investors just a week ago. They are giving her a free computer to work on, because her family doesn't have one!

On the plus side, the "repair" cost me $0.00 and now I can surf from my loungey chair in the living room.
I got lucky on Saturday when I went in to get my glasses repaired. When I got new glasses, I bought an extra warranty on them because, at the time, I didn't have vision insurance. I gladly shelled out $30 for replacement frames.
The warranty? Runs out in March. Go team superklutz for breaking my glasses and stabbing myself in the thumb while trying to fix them in a timely manner.
