graduation

First, I have a few people to thank for their generous contributions to my Push America fund: George & Vicky Oster, Michael & Elaine Miller, George & Ruth Hayes, and Carol Hayes. I’m now $465 away from my fundraising goal!

Last week, I graduated from Missouri State University with an MA in communication. Of course, it’s kinda anti-climatic because I’m just switching schools again to the University of Oklahoma where I’ll teach introduction to communication courses in the communication department. Now, all I have to do is clean, pitch, box, and load everything for storage over the summer. I fly to Charlotte for crew training on June 1.

But, first I must raise another $400 so that I’m eligible to serve on crew for the Journey of Hope. My fundraising link is at the bottom of this note – I’ve asked that my graduation gifts be contributions to Push America on my behalf. Also, be sure to bookmark my summer blog: http://joherich.blogspot.com/. For now, it’s just been rebroadcasts of my fundraising campaign, but I’ll start putting pictures and stories from the road in less than a month.

As always, thank you for your support!

one month away!

One month from today, I will get on a plane to Charlotte for Journey of Hope crew training. It’ll be a great way for me to spend my summer in between schools so I’m pretty pumped.

I’m getting down to the wire and I still have $600 to raise in order for me to serve on JOH crew. Last week, many of you received my fundraising brochure in the mail. I get notification if anyone uses the online form to make a contribution, but I don’t always find out if somebody mails their contribution directly to Push America. Let me know if you’ve done that so that I can be sure that it gets credited to my fundraising total. Be sure that you include my name in the memo if you mail a contribution directly to Push America.

Everyone that has told me that they would make a contribution – now is the time! I’m not worried about hitting my goal because I’m pretty close, but this fundraising is one more thing that I can check off my to do list as I get ready to move.

As always, I appreciate everyone’s support!
