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!

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!

Dumb PayPal

GGRRRRR. I am NOT happy with Paypal right now. I am working to resolve the issue, but they are insisting that Papa Dude call them to resolve it, and he is out of town. I know that I could be a big meany who is out to steal all his money by pretending to be his WIFE and all, but I also know that I am not. For crying out loud, we share the bank account in question, and there isn't ever anything in it anyway. All this because his name is on the account I want to use, and he didn't add mine at the time he created it. GRRRRRRR.

Ok, rant is over, I am fine, I know some of you are just itchin' do put in your donation. Just knowing you are willing to pledge is comforting. I just want to get it going. I will put the dang button on the sidebar as soon as it is humanly possible to contact my traveling Dude, and get him to spend ten minutes on the phone with the infamous Paypal.

Paypal and The Foil Hat

Hey all,
It seems I am experiencing difficulty with PayPal. I need to call them today to get our accounts straightened out (It seems someone else has my name and we are having problems accessing our accounts.), so until I do, we are still unable to accept donations. There is a donations feature available at Amazon, but they take profits out of the donations, and I really want every penny possible to go to PG, and not to Amazon.

I apologize for the inconvenience. We still have 6 weeks to accomplish our goal, but if you are super excited about this and cannot wait to donate, you can email me at the link in the sidebar and then send a check. Otherwise, I am hoping to have the PayPal issue resolved by this weekend at the latest.

In other news, Amy at The Foil Hat is hosting an auction with proceeds donated to the Piano Girl. Head on over and check it out- Buying a raffle ticket (or ten) it is a great way to win some wonderful soapy prizes (believe me, this is the only soap I have been using for the last 6 months- it is wonderfully good stuff!), and have fun supporting the PG at the same time!

Thanks for joining us on this journey.
