Shelter Helper!

Okay Gals,

Here are your March Maidens: Belinda, Laura & Me.
Our chosen cause: Local animal shelters

Here is the skinny!
Same place (studio)
Same time (6pm'ish)
Same girls (GNO's)
Same purpose (spreading goodness to the community and drinking wine)

This is Shelter Helper month. Look at the list below and bring in what you can for the local animal shelters. Laura and Belinda have done the research as to who needs the help. We'll gather it all up on Tuesday and decide where it all goes.

We've decided on just keeping this simple and not doing an event other than the gathering of girls.

Along with your shelter contribution, please bring something to share either to eat or drink. You all saw my attempt at nachos, and although they were eaten, it was out of desperation and hunger that they were consumed.

Also: friend me on Facebook so I can add you to the GNO group. It's a super easy platform for everyone to access and stay updated. I still try to update the blog, but not too many seem to check it out.

update & agenda: Kathryn is working on a GNO logo. We should discuss the long-term goals of GNO and develop a calendar of events so we all can help each other in our fund raising efforts. Bring ideas on how we can easily do this. Also, anyone unemployed, bring it up to the group and let's resource off each other. That is what we are all about. Helping the helpers!
