Looky there! In the sidebar! I created a Donate button. Turns out I can receive payments through PayPal. Isn't technology amazing?
Some people have asked if they could simply make a monetary contribution to help cover the expenses of transporting the hats to the Ukraine (as discussed in the previous post) so I've set that up. If you are inclined to donate - THANK YOU! - every amount will help. I will be holding a special drawing on Wednesday, September 17 (my Daddy's birthday) to draw a very special price from among those who contribute financially.
And I am, of course, still collecting hats! I'll have an update on new numbers and the list of contributors in the next several days.
Thank you all for your kindness and ongoing support on this. I leave 6 weeks from today!
(In case you are following world events, dont' worry: I have no intention of allowing the military/political goings-on in Georgia to prevent me from making this trip. While Ukraine and Georgia have many close ties, Rivne is - by my estimation - a very safe distance from the fighting. Anyway, I am among the hopeful that this will wrap itself up soon.)
Today's Quote
"Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open." Pauline Kael

Hey! I've got 6 hats. Can you email me your address? I'll get them off right away. Thanks so much, Heidi
I just blogged about this but ummm how long does it take for your hats to dry from blocking? Because that is all I"m waiting for so I can send them off to you...and I thought they'd be done today...well, actually I thought they'd be done drying on Sunday.
Yey for the paypal button. I am ol' fashioned and will still include the check instead, if that's okay? I'll email you when everything is ready to go.
I *was* thinking of those events overseas. I know enough about geography to know that you are not physically close. I just cannot help but think that there is a message from old Vlad in these goings on for the Ukraine. You will be safe, I know that.
The dear old postman is making his way towards you with a wee parcel containing 6 hats and a little something for you. :)
I wish I could come with you to deliver the hats. Make sure you take lots of pictures PLEASE...
