24 keys down, 64 to go, and 4 days left!!

Yay! Everything is coming together nicely. The banner is finished, a beautiful cake and food are being provided, I have both the video and sound recording set up, the program is lined up and being printed, theFoil Hat raffle is going well, I sent out over 400 invites, airline tickets are being researched and frequent flyer miles have been donated, and people have been writing checks and using the Paypal button in the sidebar. We have 24 out of 88 keys filled already, and have raised just over $1000. so far. That is enough to send in the check for the deposit! We have met 1/4th of our goal, and the event hasn't happened yet!!

Thanks so much to everyone who has offered support to Piano Girl, in all the many ways you have. What a community project this has turned out to be!

I will post the program as soon as it is ready, for those of you who are out there in cyberland and won't be able to attend. The good news for you is that we are going to be recording the performance, and making CD's! Elizabeth wants to "sell" them for donations.

There is still plenty of time to donate if you haven't yet, by either using the Paypal button in the sidebar, or by buying raffle tickets over at The Foil Hat. I thank you, and Piano Girl thanks you.

TTFN,

One week left!

Well folks, we are down to the wire. The PianoGirl is practicing her pieces about 4 hours a day, and having 2 two-hour long lessons a week (ask me how much driving I have been doing!). She is feeling anxious and excited.

I got food donations and deliveries in place today, I will be talking to my banner team today, the program is lined up and ready (do you want me to post the pieces she is playing?), and I have sent one last round of invites to every single address in my email account.

We have received a total of $700. so far, with pledges for another $200. so we have about $3000. to go. Thanks to everyone who has already donated, or bought raffle tickets. If you want to support Piano Girl but live to far to attend the concert, or can't make it, feel free to donate using the Paypal button in the side bar. Spread the word!
