Hello Everyone,

Thanks to the generous support of friends and family, I have raised $1775 for YCI to date. This means that there is only $2025 remaining to reach my fundraising goal.

November 14th marks the second fundraising deadline for YCI's Tanaznia 2007 project. Please show your support by making a contribution to this great cause. If you have specific questions about me or this project or about how your contribution will make a difference in Tanzania, please e-mail me at kathscott_tanzania2007@yahoo.ca. Tax receipts will be issued for any donations of $25 dollars or more.

Here are some fun fundraising ideas that you can initiate to support this cause:

*At work, ask your colleagues to bring their own lunches in reusable containers and give what they would have spent at the food court to YCI. Casual days at work are also an easy way to collect some quick cash!
*Trade your daily coffee from Timmy's or Starbucks for home-brewed (fair-trade) java in a travel mug and pass the savings along to the Tanzania project.
*Host an event at home with your friends: a tea party, a silent auction, a wine and cheese, a poker game. I will provide prizes!
*Have your book club read a book about Tanzania. I recommend "The In-between World Of Vikram Lall" by M. G. Vassanji. Ask each reader for a small contribution.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your support.

Cheers,

Katherine
