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,
Proud Mama

We did it! Paypal button is in the side bar!

It only took 6 day of torturous dealings with PayPal on the parts of both the Papa Dude and I, but we did it! You may now purchase a piano key for a donation of $35. or more to support Piano Girl in getting to Interlochen Center for the Arts.

If you would like to help out but cannot afford $35.oo, consider purchasing raffle tickets over at The Foil Hat, or donating a prize to be raffled there.

Thanks for your patience, love, and support. We also hope to see any locals at the Benefit Recital coming up at the beginning of June.

And thanks to Kathy Jo for the help with links and the warning that talking to PayPal would be "interesting". Lady, it sure as hell was!

More ways to help

1. Does anyone know how I can put music on the blog? If I have a CD of Piano Girl playing, can we use that? What other ways are there to do this? Can you tell that on my other blog I have a computer dolt category?

2. Frequent flyer miles. You can give these to other people, right? If anyone has any they aren't going to use, they would definately help, as my son and I will most likely be flying with her to Michigan.

Thanks for all your help,
