week 4 monday

Hello Everyone,

I will attempt to write this blog again, for the 3 rd time. I am writing it in my windows email. For some reason the last two said it was sent and I lost it. no record both times and the computer froze. The reason I am writing it in my hotmail account is because the computer is blocking my gmail. Apparently, this is why I cannot get to the dashboard of the blogger. I am signed out now and can't get back. The computer is very sick. So if this is successful in getting sent to my sister or someone who can post, Then I will have my blog.

Needless to say, that most of my day was writing my blog and pulling my hair out! So far it is 4:19pm and I have not gotten contacts. I don't know if I will or should at this point of the day. I think that getting my blog on and trying to contact some of the 100+ contacts that I have made would be in my best interest and theirs.

That is so far today. I want to back up to Friday. Like I said I could not blog and ended up forgetting to put my report in. I was really upset that I could not get into the dashboard, but at the same time excited about what I had planned for the weekend.


I woke up on Friday, my hip was pretty bad. I finished making posters and fliers and took off for the streets. It started to rain, so I found dry places to put them. Library, bars, restaurants, deli, Laundromat, supermarkets.

I stood in the parking lot in the rain, limping with one crutch. I did get one contact in the lot and the bartenders. I did not go looking for the contact info. I wanted people to not feel like they were being prospected. I wanted people to come to my home see what we are about, the caring and giving part.

When people give me a scuff about helping another country and not here. I just tell them that; this is what out company is doing now. They help non-profits all over the world and it don't matter where. But this is how it works. The company is set up that when you are a Together We Can Change the World member YOU are able to raise money for what ever you feel that is important to you. Do you know we have 155,000 members? Can you imagine how many of them have something set up for their cause? Can you imagine how many people are being affected when you buy something using our methods. You are always making a difference. I have 3 different causes that I raise money for child abuse coalition in long Island, Mothers against drunk drivers and my homeless shelter. I also tell these people who bark at the idea of helping in Uganda that the forest is being depleted because it is the only means for people to cook. And that is not good for us! It does affect us in a very big way.


When I got home Friday night I was soaked. I ate changed and started to make copies of the solar oven program for pamphlets. My printer jammed and it is high up. Well, in short I took a fall and now I have a injured shoulder and my chest and ribs are bruised.


Saturday I set up my table. I put ice-tea, a basket of healthy products to raffle off, my $25.00 restaurant gift certificates that I bought for $2.00 on my mall at restruant.com to raffle off, T-day t-shirts, and next to my table at the edge of the driveway I put my TRIKKE to raffle off - put a sign on it; this is adult size- Raffle is for a child size. this is all for the homeless shelter. I had my laptop And last but not least I had my pamphlets for the Solar Oven Factory Project. I put baskets for food and clothing donations and signs all over the place.

TRIKKE is in our mall. It is like a scooter. I got one a few months ago. It came to me that these can and should be gifted to schools. If I can get a team of kids involved in doing the business and then selling raffle tickets for the winner to either win a TRIKKE or something else. the kid picks a school that they want to gift it to. They sell enough raffle tickets for the prize plus enough to buy a few TRIKKES in their own mall. (first buying the Amex or visa gift card with the money) making money on both purchases for themselves. And they would have it delivered directly to the school. This could be an on going thing all over the world. They are world wide. I did talk to the CEO a few months ago about my idea and how huge it would be if they got their own world changer mall before I got my team started. Maybe they will. Am I a devil or what? They sent me these tiny little give away TRIKKES and 2 posters.

I did not raise more than $14.00 on Saturday. my neighbor that I had taken her contact info last week came over with a food donation,. She had seen the presentation and so far loves the idea and made a comment that sounds like everyone should be doing it and be a World Changer. She was also looking at the certificate program. I think that i WILL HAVE A WORLD CHANGER!

When we were packing up. this lady stopped in and wanted to know about the TRIKKE. After telling her what my plans were with kids she was amazed. And said; Tell me how can I be a World Changer! I want to do that with the kids! I might have another!

Although the turnout was not big, to me it was huge! I am making our presence known and what we are about! I got 8 contacts.

Sunday it rained so bad that I could not set up. But everything is there for the next time! See everyone later.
