I was hoping this past week would be the end of it. Too many business owners were out of town or too busy all week in order to close it off completely. It's not an awful process, but it's not an incredibly fun process either. This process is a great way to raise money for HCCA and so I am committed to it until the end! This past week of solicitations went very well. I was able to get confirmations from businesses, pick up a couple of donations, and be able to start checking solicitation related items off of my to-do list. On top of that, posters were hung around town and on campus. Slowly but surely things are coming together.
Sometimes when working for a cause centered around the environment, you don't always see results right away. That can be a little deflating especially when you're putting a lot of work into it. While fundraisers don't seem like a huge step in the process, they are extremely important in facilitating the work done for the cause. These indirectly affecting steps in the problem-solution process can be the most rewarding psychologically. You see results right away, whether that's via the physical donations, the money made on them, or just the support of the community and the people that show up.
So long story short, I did wish this past week would have been the last week of soliciting. However, I will admit that the physical, psychological, and emotional rewards do feel pretty good. I know I'm helping to help a great organization doing some great things and that within itself feels the greatest overall.
As always...the Red Lady Salvation Ball is February 17th, starting @ 7:30 in The Eldo. Come dressed in your favorite casual or classy red attire and enjoy great music, great prizes, great food and drink, and great company. Or in other words, come feed your physical, psychological, and emotional needs with this direct link to supporting HCCA!
