3 Day Crop at French Valley

It's that time of year again - registration is open!

2011-03-28T21:20:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted to do one of those long charity walks?

3 days of walking, sharing the experience with a group of people who share your passion for finding a cure for Breast Cancer? But you just know that your body can’t take the abuse of 3 days and 60 miles, the blisters, the leg cramps, sleeping in tents on the ground after brutally long days of walking…but how else can you support and honor those you know and care about???

We have a way for you to do the same thing…but instead of walking for 60miles, getting blisters on top blisters, we’re going to treat you to a weekend of pampering.

Success at Pat and Oscar's!

2010-07-03T02:16:00.000-07:00

Recently Teri Kincade and Beth Oliver hosted a fundraiser at Pat and Oscar's in Temecula. After papering the city in pink with info about the fundraiser and letting all of their friends and family in on the plan, they headed over to Pat and Oscar's and had a fun evening. Mom and I even stopped by to support them. Of course I'm always looking for an excuse to go there...breadsticks, need I say more?

It was a fun evening watching them great friends and family and seeing those coupons being waved in line! I just found out from Teri that they raised $164.00 that night! I'm so proud of them. Let me know if you would like information about setting up a night for yourself.

There are also other resturants that will be willing to host fundraising evenings for you.

Baby Steps

2010-05-22T16:15:00.000-07:00

This morning we spent a few hours in the sun and wind selling scrapbook items and having a fun time. There were only a few of us, but that didn't seem to matter, we had fun just in being outside and making our first baby steps towards our $2,000.00 goals for the 3Day Crop. We had people waiting while we set up our goodies to sell! There always seems to be a few! Baby steps are good, gets you excited! Teri Kincade had a great fundraising idea...she made cupcakes, 3 of the cupcakes were rainbow colored and for a $5.00 donation you could choose a cupcake and if you were lucky enough to find a rainbow cupcake she had a goodie basket for you! It was fun and who doesn't like cupcakes so even if you didn't find a rainbow cupcake you still came out a winner!

Welcome to the 3Day Crop - 6 months and counting

2010-05-12T20:07:00.000-07:00

Wha hoo...six months until the 3Day Crop! I am so excited about this year's event that I just can not wait. You should have received the first newsletter for the 3Day Crop. If you didn't, please contact me!

I need from you as soon as you can get it to me, your event bio and your picture. We will place this on the website and you will be able to direct your sponsors to it and they will in turn be able to make on-line donations for you using their credit cards.

Also May 22nd is the SBR Garage Sale in Oceanside, CA. You can bring scrapbooking related items to sell, if you have other stuff you want to drag out too that cool.
We will begin set up at 8am and open when everyone is ready or by 9am. It's $2.00 to come and shop. Spread the word to your scrapbooking buddies! Let them know there will be tons of goodies available!

June 8th, Teri Kincade has set up a fundraising night at Pat and Oscar's in Temecula.
We can send you flyer's if anyone is interested! This is a great and easy way to raise some bucks! Pat and Oscar's, Chevy's, Soupplantion and many other restaurants offer this as possible way to raise funds!

Event notebooks, will be on the way soon. They have lots of ideas and hopefully useful information and forms to help you over the next 6months.

Whatever you do...remember we are doing this together! You are not alone!

Cheers to a fun journey!

Sheila

Beyond all expectations!

2010-04-18T16:14:00.000-07:00

Wow!

I have to admit that it's surprised me how quickly the 3Day Crop has filled up and I can not wait to get the ladies working on their fundraising. Although our goal is to each raise $2,000.00, raising more would be like the frosting on our cupcake an extra treat and the real reason we reach for the cupcake to begin with!

So here is to an exciting 7 months~ I can't wait to see what time brings our way!

Sheila

Here we go again - Round Two!

2010-03-17T07:52:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year again, Pre-registration has already happend for the 2nd Annual 3Day Crop at French Valley. This year the event will take place starting on Friday, November 12 and will end on Sunday, November 14.

Last year was such a success, we raised $12,000.00 with just a handful of participants! I can't wait for November to roll around. We all had an amazing time...what a great group of ladies! Here's some of the details for this year...keep checking back for more information and updates. I'll also be sending out monthly news through Ratepoint.

Sheila

51 days to go...

2009-10-01T15:47:00.000-07:00

Alright ladies,

We have just about 51 days to go...so far I have 4 of the 6 participants who have their photo and bios up on the Scrapbook Royalty website, it's really cool you should go check it out and then write me a quick bio about why you're doing the 3Day Crop, send it to me with a picture and we'll get your information up on the website too.

There is still plenty of time for you to collect your $2,000.00 in donations. We have 2 of our participants that are both over half way there. It just takes a little effort and some time. So far the letter campaign has been the most effective. You have several different versions in the notebook, use one or write your own. The trick seems to be sending a self addressed envelope!

Tonight is the Pat and Oscar's dinner, I hope you all passed out flyers. I'm heading out to the Carlsbad location in just a few minutes.

Let me hear from you if you have any questions. We still have space for 4 more people to join us!

Sheila

We've gotten our 1st on line donations!

2009-09-15T10:43:00.000-07:00

Yee haw! It works! Kudos to Liz Goldsberry for recieving the first on-line donations!
Remember to get me your bio and a picture to post on the web!

Liz, Cheryl and Jean raised $216.00 with their Silent Auction items at this weekends Desert Scrapper's Retreat. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it would fund a mamogram!
They average about $125.00 a person!

Also, it's just 2 weeks until the CropMeet!
Are you getting your yardsale stuff together?
I've been putting boxes aside in my garage!
We have to get the word out about the yardsale.
Make sure you let everyone know the dates and times for the yardsale!

Also, if you're going to be attending the Crop at the CropMeet, I need you to get on-line and register so I know to expect you! I also need to know if you are going to donate any Silent Auction items.

Hugs to all of you!

Sheila

3 months to go....

2009-08-21T14:46:00.000-07:00

Things are starting to get exciting...

We have just confirmed that Stephanie Ackerman will be teaching a class for the 3Day/1Day Crop participants on Saturday, November 22! This is included in your registration fee! She's busy trying to decide what cool project to bring our way!

Participant Bios Needed!

I still need some of your bios for the website! I received the bio for Jean Bruns just the other day. If you haven't been to the website, it's really cool to see the smiling faces of our participants! Plus the people you are soliciting donations from can go and click right on your smiling face and make an on-line donation!

Bonus Oppurtunity!

I'm heading out to the Desert Scrapper's Retreat on September 12th, and will take out a Silent Auction Basket for you! Just another way to raise some donations! Some of you have already indicated that you want to do this...if you have already sent me an e-mail you do not need to send me another one!

Other good news!

Jean Bruns has stepped up and will be hosting lunch at the CropMeet on the 26th of September!

Please e-mail me and let me know what you are interested in hosting or participating in for the CropMeet! Remeber this is a crop for you and a great way for you to raise some donations!

If you want to do a class or offer a make and take for a fee...we need samples as soon as possible so we can get them up on the website and out on the blog. I'm going to give you a deadline for this, I need them no later than September 1st! We'll do a big e-mail blast and get it out there to potential participants!

We are hoping to get a lot of traffic for you at this event. We are planning on hosting 25-36 croppers at the event from 9am until 9pm and the yardsale/silent auction will be from 9am until 3pm, giving you a chance to crop the afternoon and evening away!

As participants of the 3Day/1Day crop, I will have seats for you, you do not need to register or pay for the CropMeet!

At the CropMeet you will be able to...

Sell items at the yardsale
Host a silent auction basket
Teach a class ( plan on 6 participants for your class.)
Offer a Make and Take for a fee

Bonus Oppurtunity!

2009-08-05T23:16:00.000-07:00

Bonus oppurtunity...I will be going out to the Desert Scrapper's Retreat the weekend of September 11-13. Weaare going to be doing some raffles and some silent auctions. I'm going to offer you all an oppurtunity to donate a basket for the auction or raffle which will go towards your donation goal. Please let me know if you are interested in doing this. I would need to have your basket no later than the 10th of September. It can be anything....scrapbook supplies or other items. Hand made items go really well!

Please e-mail me if you are interested!

Sheila

Great website to help you with fundraising

2009-08-03T19:16:00.000-07:00

Sometimes it is easier to ask someone to buy something than to just ask for a donation.

There is a website called Fund Raising for a Cause and it offers lots of great pink ribbon items with easy to purchase pricing...buy one item and see how easy it is to raise your donations!

http://store.fundraisingforacause.com

Sheila

Participant Bios are up on the Scrapbook Royalty Website!

2009-07-24T07:18:00.000-07:00

Stop by the Scrapbook Royalty website at http://scrapbookroyalty.com/3day_participants.htm

to check out the participant bios! Your sponsors can now go directly to your bio and make an on-line donation! You'll find this to be a great tool to use while raising your donations! We are 4 months away from our event....don't wait to start raising your funds!

Sheila

Are you....

2009-07-19T20:35:00.001-07:00

Hi ladies,

Things you should be doing to get ready....

We should have your bio for the website! So far I only have 2! This is a vital piece of your donation process. Without this you can not direct people to the website to donate on-line.

Looking for a few sponsors, those are the folks who's businesses you frequest, maybe your dentist, your hair salon, cleaners, gym...or a friend that owns their own business. If you need copies of the letters in your notebook to send out, let me know and I'll send them to you in an e-mail! If they donate a $100.00 or more towards your goal, we'll post them on the Blog as event sponsors!

Getting ready to send out letters or e-mails to your address lists! Again, you should have letters in your notebook to use for this. My mom sends out about 100 letters and then approaches everyone she works with and she has raised over $2,000.00 each year.

Start working on your stuff for the CropMeet! (For the particiapants of the 3Day Crop only): This will be a great time for you to do some fund raising. Remember this event will be on Saturday, September 26 from 9am until 9pm. You will be able to put items out for the YardSale, submit Silent Auction items, teach classes and host meal options.

I'm so excited!!!!

2009-06-02T08:13:00.000-07:00

It's so cool, we have people starting to register to the 3Day Crop at French Valley and even for the 1Day Crop! So far we have 5 seats already taken at the 3Day Crop! So we need only 7 more to fill up the crop! It's so cool to see an idea actually become a reality! We might be a small group, but we're hoping to bring in BIG money!!!!

Keep those registrations coming in! I'll post a list of participants in a few days! It's not too late for you to join us!

Sheila
