Progress (Day 8)

We talked to the guy about becoming 501 (c)3, and he said that all we have to do is fill out a form and submit it to the IRS. Tomorrow, we will be able to talk to the lad from Borders-- we have high hopes for that!

Talking (Day 7)

As you all know, we will be talking to someone today who can help us become a 501 (c)3 organization. We'll let you all know how that goes probably tomorrow.

If you have any questions or comments, you can always email livesaverbottle@gmail.com.

The Perfect Advertisement (Day 6)

As you know, we have been having trouble getting the word out about our project. So today, I thought of the perfect advertisement. Door hangers! Hopefully, soon you will see door hangers with information about our organization coming to you!

Same Old (Day 6)

There is nothing new to report today. We will be talking to someone tomorrow about becoming a 501 (c)3 organization, and we will talk to the lady from Borders on Friday.

If you have any questions or comments, you can always email livesaverbottle@gmail.com.

Slowing down (Day 5)

Something came up, so we can't go talk to the lady at Borders today, but I will probably talk to her tomorrow (Tuesday) or Friday. Unfortunately, we still haven't gotten a single reply from anyone else that we emailed, except for the other district library, who called to let us know that they can't do fundraising either. I'm going to try and personally talk to someone who can help us become an official 501 (c)3 organization. It's personally very frustrating for me to see everything slowing down like this. We can't let it hold us back though. We have to keep going no matter how frustrated we get. Like I have said before, people need us.

This could be the start (Day 4)

We called the Borders, and they want to speak to us personally tomorrow. They have Benefit days, where a percentage of the sales in the store go to a charitable organization like ours. However, in order to be able to do that, we have to be a 501 (c)3 organization, meaning that we have a status as a non-profit organization. We will talk to the lady at Borders tomorrow to see if we can work something out. We are so close to being able to do this, but it might not work out. In the meantime, we have emailed a lady who recently became a 501 (c)3 organization, so she might be able to help us. We also emailed Debbie Kiddle of the Lifesaver Bottle organization asking if what we are doing is ok. Hopefully she can let us know soon!

Publicizing (Day 3)

We called Borders, but the lady we want to talk to won't be in until tomorrow, so we will call her again in the afternoon. We are slowly gaining followers-- we have four now. Hopefully we will gain more soon. If you are following us, please invite your friends to follow us as well. If you aren't following us yet, please do so! We need to get the word out about the project, and we need to do it soon. People all over the world need us.
