Discovery Toys is a company that has partnered itself with the Princeton Child Development Institute to raise money and provide support to kids with autism. Have you seen their new catalog? The stacking blocks are the best $11 I've ever spent on a toy, that's for sure! They still get played with. They are also having a fundraiser where you can buy a puzzle piece for $1 and it will be part of the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest jigsaw puzzle. How fun is that? If you need to buy some toys---consider purchasing from Discovery Toys* and helping out kids with autism in that way.
The raffle is still going on. You have one more week to donate to be included in that drawing. For the local people, my open house will be Friday April 25th from 3pm-7pm (drop in anytime) and again on Saturday April 26th from 4pm-5pm (just drop in). There will be homemade items from myself as well as a few other people for sale. Anywhere from 50%-100% (depending on the items) of all sales will go to our fundraiser. I gave my knitting group a sneak peak at the jewelry donated by arbee. Over half of it is gone now and it raised another $75! WOW! I haven't done the latest tally yet but I know for sure we are over $650. Will I make it to $1000? Please consider spreading the word on the raffle. Let's get the number up!
THANKS!
