ANNOUNCING

CAROL'S COMING DOWN FROM THE ROOF SATURDAY NOV 21

1:30-2:30 523 Main St  Edmonds  WA

Edmonds Fire Department will bring her down

Bill Mathews Conga Joy and Arican Dancers

 

THERE'S STILL TIME TO BE A PART OF OUR GOAL www.upontheroofwithcarol.org 

 

At the urging of family and friends, her board of directors and her business clients not to mention Carol's aching bones after 113 days living in a tent...

You'll also notice the winds whipped through "causing one of the zero's to drop off the goal".  Okay okay, I admit it, the goal is more manageable at $100,000.

(While I must be realistic, I have to admit a part of me still holds out hope...)

Dear friends!


 The reason I've been living in this tent since July 31st is to bring attention to poverty issues and celebrate the good being done in our own communities and around the world ONE SMALL ACTION AT A TIME.

 

Yes, it's rainy season now and yes it's damp.  Yet I'm living better than three quarters of the world population so I have no complaints.

 

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the enormity of issues we face. We find ourselves thinking "what impact can one person possibly have?"  Thank you for all the small, significant actions you have shared with me. You are proving that many small actions ARE indeed making a world of difference.  Thank you!

 

You'll find a list of those who shared what they're doing on my blogsite at www.upontheroofwithcarol.org.

 

EVERY DOLLAR you have contributed goes to the 501(c)3 Fabric of Life Foundation for programs that support women, children and their communities both in developing countries and right here in the U.S.
