When Fundraising Is A Lot Of Fun!

I used to get these tickets from my co-workers who were trying to help their churches, organizations or kids in school raise funds for a cause and I know it is sometimes so uncomfortable for them to ask and for receivers like me to say NO. Personally, I hate doing this kind of fundraising activity so whenever my kids would ask me to help them sell their tickets, I rather buy them myself and would sometimes ask my immediate family members to help me out. I never ask my co-workers because I know how it feels to ask help, it is like having a lifetime debt of gratitude.

Nowadays, there is a fun way of fundraising at Shoutback through their auction system. You can create your own group or join groups of your interest at Shoutback. Simply visit Shoutback and enter a group category in your location, if you cannot find a group that interests you, you can start your own group. You can shop, sell and save, thus raising money for your individual needs such as sending a kid to a field trip or simply for a kid's education, among other things. I have actually shared Shoutback with my friend who is very active in fundraising activities for her church and she is planning to start a group since she couldn't find a group in Buffalo, NY. With Shoutback, goodbye to selling candies and cookies, visiting houses, selling stuff outside Wal-Mart or Target under the cold weather. With the idea of helping or supporting each other in your group or community, fundraising is sure a lot of fun at Shoutback!


What's up?

It is Saturday once again and I thought of updating this blog. Sorry for those who visited and saw nothing new here. I just feel so tired when i get home from a day's tough work. It's not like i am working in the field or doing construction jobs, I don't know but probably having rested from working for 3 years. Getting up so early and going out in this cold weather is really hard for me. I hope I get used to this or better yet, find an easier job. Well, people just don't get satisfied, you know. When i wasn't working, i was praying i could find a job and now that i am working, it's an endless litany from me everyday and i guess husband is already tired of listening to my whining. My favorite line everyday is: "I hate this job! I hate working! I am so tired!" Well, who does enjoy working, anyway? Thanks for listening to my vent. Now, let's cheer up and have a fun Saturday everyone!

Blog of the Day!

I guess i am just lucky to have been picked as PPP's Blog of the Day on the first day of the year 2008! Thanks to Recel who first informed me about it, i would not have known it if not for her because i seldom check with PPP nowadays since I am not getting any opps there anyway. I am still thankful, though for being the blog of the day as it drove at least 5 new visitors/bloggers to my blog, lol! That at least is something i should be thankful of! To all who greeted me, thank you soo much! It meant a lot to me. I hope you too had a good start of the year 2008!
