Plan B

I had a plan to do "Donate your tips" day at my restaurant every other month, to raise money for items and money Uganda.
We did it once and it was a success, but I had no takers when I put up a volunteer list for a second one.
So, today, I was like forget it.
Then I came home and got a letter in the mail from brandi saying how much they were able to accomplish the last trip in uganda because of donations and specifically the expression of joy Joan(my little girl) had on her face when brandi told her that her sponsor made special effort for the children.
Soooo, I couldn't be like forget it......I had to come up with plan B.

This is what I'm going to post for my servers tommorrow:

***********************************************************
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO YOUR SIDEWORK?

You guys know I’m collecting things for Africa. I am going to offer to do your sidework in exchange for donations!

I am collecting: white chalk
Crayons – crayola or rose art
Color pencils – crayola or rose art
Money

If you donate: 3 items listed above (like 3packs of crayons or 1pack chalk and 2 packs color pencils ) or $5 , then I will do your tables or sidework.

If you donate: 2 items above or $3, I will do your extra sidework

If you donate : 1 item above or $2, I will do you silver ware or windows.

I will give you coupons for each donation. I will accept donations and give coupons thru June , so hurry up!

You can donate and collect as many coupons as you like, I will keep honoring them thru July.

The only catch is you must give me the coupons at the beginning of your shift (over night people – I will take one persons coupons only when I arrive in the morning )

And I can only take a few coupons each day.

I hope you guys have fun and participate….its really for a good cause! All the money I collect will go towards a good quality sports ball set for the school at Rapha orphanage in Uganda, buying more of the supplys listed above, and of course food........and you know its gonna be fun watching me work so hard!

I pray that it works! I'll post an update at the end of the month. Sidework is close to torture so I'm sure they will take advantage of this.

:O) I'm very inspired! I'm hoping to go on my first missions trip in January next year to Cambodia. Your post motivates me to start collecting mana for the cause! Bless you and your trip!
