I am just overwhelmed with the wonderful response to my crazy fig cutting offer! I can tell you right now that
this insanity will be all over by the end of this weekend - we have hundreds of cuttings to take! Folks have responded so amazingly - - I'm wading through all of the donations and requests for figs right now. We have raised several HUNDRED dollars already today and we may be even higher when I get all of this wrapped up, thanks to your donations.
Ya'll are wonderful -
and a special, special thank you to those warm-hearted souls who donated over and above the $20 request to help the girls at San Mar. These are kids who didn't have much of a chance without this special place and programs, so it means a lot. I think I will be writing all of your names on my tour shirt - - and I expect "baby" photos sent back at the cuttings take hold.
I updated the earlier blog post that had the offer (probably just below this one on your computer screen) to show what's already been snapped up. Whew! What a whirlwind! This is just more fun than fundraising should be. At this time all donations are "disabled" - I'll post word if there are cuttings still available. Looks like we're going to be down to Alma and Celeste by Sunday.
Hugs to all of you,
Sybil
And, as most of you already know, that was The End of the fig cuttings and all are being sent out. With our warm weather, this worked out just in time, for everything is budding and leafing out quite early in response to our warmer-than-normal winter! Thanks again, everyone!
