Day 2 continues...

Plans changed today. I couldn't go to the USM campus because I had a sick little one at home, so I went to plan B........ Parent Teacher conferences!! I printed out five of the invitation cards, added my own personal touch on the back, and went out in the driving rain with my husband to the school. First, I stopped by the book fair, and talked with a very kind Mom at the cash box, who was genuinely interested. She was easy to approach because she had to sit there, I knew she couldn't get up and run away from me!!

Then I walked down the hall, peering into each classroom. A teacher I didn't recognize (which is odd when you have five kids) caught me looking in and asked if she could help me. I panicked and said "No". Of course, my husband said, "Go in there and talk with her!" So I walked in and said " Actually, I do want to talk with you, I was just chicken!" That broke the ice and our conversation went very well. I told her about the bootcamp and how I was working to take 10 or more people and the Buxton Food Pantry to $2000/month by January 24, 2009 with My PowerMall.

My daughter's teacher has been a favorite for years. After she told us how the pumpkin whoopie cushions I sent in for the class at Halloween were a big hit (what second grader doesn't love that noise??), I wrapped up the conference by telling her all about My PowerMall and the bootcamp. That one was easy, and a nice way to end the day!

Day 2 of Reality Boot Camp

Today I will be going to the University of Southern Maine Gorham campus to tell more people about my efforts to raise money for the Buxton Community Cupboard. I remember back in the day.....a long, long time ago (sigh)....when I was in college. Every one of us needed money for tuition. How cool would it be to help college kids AND the Buxton food pantry?

Something happened to me, maybe it was a change in my attitude, when I talked to my first 5 people yesterday. Suddenly, I realized what a HUGE responsibility I hold in my hands. When I succeed in building 5 World Changer teams, we will have guaranteed the financial stability of the food pantry...GUARANTEED it!

And, there will be a lot of others in my community that will be in a much better place on January 24, 2009.

I need people who want to do this with me. If you are one of the people I spoke with, and handed a card to, please join me! Please go to my web page, follow my blog, become a World Changer! It's so easy, and it's for such a great cause.

Thanks for reading along, wish me luck today : )
