• Today’s Diet: 2012-02-11

Through the decades, I’ve helped with numerous fundraising efforts from raising money for the school prom to treasury building for our Key Club and alumni association.  I also worked several summers helping raising funds for a local Lions Club.  So, to more completely document my life experience in my journal, I wanted to list all the fun fundraising activities in which I either helped or guided.  These experiences have become fond memories for me, and I’d encourage any who’s never participated in a fundraising activity before, to give it a try.  Here’s a complete list of my fundraising efforts over the past thirty-five years. 

• Christmas tree selling.  1976 through 1979.  I heartily enjoyed this Lions Club fundraising activity, working out in the cold November and December air.  Lots of lifting, stacking, cutting, and showing of the trees to customers.  We’d receive our first truckload of trees the weekend after Thanksgiving, and for the next three or so weekends, another load would arrive each Saturday and each Sunday.  We’d unbind, trim, price, and stack the new arrivals between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.  Then, long about the 9^th of December, we’d open for selling. 
• Car wash.  1977.  Works great in a boarding school environment.  We asked all of the staff if we could wash their cars to raise money for the prom.  They readily agreed, and we commissioned some of the maintenance staff to drive each car to us in the parking area between the home mechanics and electronic shops.  All the kids in our class helped out and we raised close to two hundred dollars for the prom.  That was great money in 1977. 
• Candy bar selling.  1978-1979. For subsequent proms and other class organizational activities, we sold candy bars to build our class treasury.  This brought in several hundred dollars and much of the thanks for the high success of this effort goes to some former students, who by then had gone off to college.  So they took the bars with them and sold them on campus.  College students make great repeat customers. 
• Fruit cake selling. 1978-1979.  I never cared for fruitcake until we sold Claxton fruit cakes in order to generate money for our senior class activities in high school.  Some people laughed, who had bought candy bars from us the year before. But these cakes were really quite tasty, and we made $600 for our efforts; enough to fund the senior prom and a day out at a local amusement park.    
• Hoagie selling.  1986.  About the only drawback of this type of fundraiser that I encountered, was that it requires many people to plan, make the hoagies, deliver them, as well as to manage the incoming money; especially if you’re going to sell several hundred hoagies as we did.  We delivered the hoagies to local customers as well, which required several people willing to drive around Pittsburgh.  But man were those hoagies good.  I remember the bread truck delivering the fresh-baked rolls at 5:00 AM.  You could smell that wonderful bread throughout the entire main building of our school. 
• Lottery ticket selling.  2004-2009.  We ran several Pennsylvania lottery ticket fundraisers for our school alumni association.  This effort produced a nice return on investment of $1250 each time we did it.  It’s great as long as you have lots of people around who are willing to buy the tickets.  In our case, we nearly always sold all tickets. 
• Summer weekend bingo.  2005-2009.  I joined a nearby Lions Club in 2005 and promptly went to work on their traditional summertime bingo fundraiser at a local amusement park.  Each Saturday and Sunday starting Memorial Day weekend and going through Labor Day weekend, we’d head to the park and run bingo games from 2:00 PM until 8:00 PM typically.  We netted roughly $15,000 per summer.  That gave us enough cash so that we did not have to run any other fundraisers through the year.  Bingo works well if you’ve got a nice facility in which to play, and you have lots of folks who will come that love playing bingo. 
• Basket bingo. 2008.  A local Lions Club ran one of these where they gave away many Longaberger baskets full of household items, either supplied by or manufactured by local companies.  In one evening, we raised $6800 for a nearby camp for the blind and disabled.  Probably the planning for this event took way more effort than the actual bingo party.  Plus, it worked out so well because lots of people in this area love playing bingo. 

Your mileage may vary for each of these money making ideas depending on your area and customer base.  But in my locale anyhow, these all worked very well.  So best of luck to you in whatever fundraising activity you’re contemplating.  Try one of these.  With a little effort, you’ll be able to make them work for you as well.  Take care.

08:15 AM: I’m up.

10:00 AM: Did some morning journaling and listened to a couple older episodes.  I so love my journal.  It’s like reading a talking book.  Though my voice may not be as professional-sounding as those readers who recite the talking books for the blind, my life story itself, I do not mind saying, is just as intriguing.  I do hope to publish it someday.  Reading it will either bore you or help you.  But I guarantee that you’d not be the same after reading my journals in any case.

10:30 AM: Went through all inbound mail and discarded the advertisements and shredded the credit card applications.  Later today, I’ll pay all the bills.

11:00 AM: Talked with [Emmy] on the phone, and read to her this year’s application packet from Beacon Lodge camp.  Reading through all this stuff brought back some nice memories and for an instant, induced me to desire to return this summer.  But they’ve cut back so much that the camp I know, remember, and love is but a shadow of it’s once well-organized and well-funded self.  So I’ll not be camping there this summer, just as I did not attend last summer.  Yep, I’m done with camp for a while.  Perhaps I’ll re visit in 2015.

12:20 PM: Completed the weekly blog system backups.  Details   here.

12:35 PM: Posted the   Weekly System Backups: 2011-03-05   piece.

01:00 PM: Nap time.  Back later.

02:30 PM: I’m awake again, and mulling over the idea of going outside and taking down those Christmas lights around the roof.  Temperature is hovering at around 55 degrees, and the sun’s not blasting down at the moment.  So this would be a good time to do it.  Back later.

03:30 PM: Worked the   Christmas Lighting: 2010   project.  However, I had to suspend work on this due to rain moving into the area.

07:45 PM: Posted the   Tom’s Love Quest –> Fall In Love, Lose Weight   piece.

08:00 PM: Facebooked for an hour or two.  Friend count: 459.  Fan count: 106.

10:30 PM: Listened to most of the Penguins hockey game with [Emmy] tonight on the phone.  The Pens won.  Yes!

12:10 AM: Reviewed the daily site stats.  Keyword 30-day hit count is now 475, which is up significantly from yesterday’s count of 457.

12:30 AM: Bed time.  More tomorrow.  Good night.

08:30 AM: I’m up.

10:30 AM: Listened to some old audio journal entries from last year; just to get an idea of how far I’ve progressed in my life.  I in fact accomplished much of what I said I would in 2010: Ended my membership in the local Lions Club and stopped attending Beacon Lodge camp this year.  But some other stuff will likely not get done.  Ah well, such is life.    Maybe next year.

11:00 AM: Posted the   Site Stats: 2010-10-02   piece.

12:50 PM: Posted the   Weekly Backups: 2010-10-02   piece.

02:30 PM: Watched the 2010-09-12, 2010-09-19, and 2010-09-26 episodes of CBS’s   Face The Nation   news show on the DVR.

03:35 PM: Watched the 2010-09-21 episode of CNN’s   Larry King Live   television talk show, which featured a full-hour interview with President Jimmy Carter.  He’s quite knowledgeable, and I enjoyed hearing his take on the issues and people of today.  Plus, he may have inspired me to make at least one journal entry every day, as this is nearly what he did while in office.  Now, he has a new book based on his copious diaries.  It’s really a shame that he wasn’t elected president for a second term.

04:15 PM: Recorded audio journal episode   AJE-2010-10-02-15-44.

05:25 PM: Added a dozen or so entries to my    Audio Journal Information Page.  This page summarizes my recent audio journal episodes.

07:30 PM: Added more content to the   Tom’s Views –> Security Paranoia   post.

09:00 PM: Watched the 2010-08-01 and 2010-08-15 episodes of NBC’s   Meet The Press   news show on the DVR.

10:30 PM: Talked to [Emmy] on the phone.  It’s a little cold there (57 degrees).  She says she hasn’t turned on her heat yet but might be forced to if we have another cold night like last night.  I’ll hold off on our heat here until  the temp in the living room drops below 60 degrees.

10:55 PM: Facebook status: Friend count: 306; Page fan count: 71.

11:00 PM: Reviewed some audio journal episodes (AJEs) from last year until I grew tired enough to sleep.  I’ve reached that point now so I’m off to bed.  Take care, and I’ll write more within twelve hours.  Good night.

08:45 AM: I’m up. 

09:05 AM: Working the   Laptop Shuts Off: 2010-07-15   issue.

12:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy].  She’s getting ready to travel back here tomorrow.  I took a beef roast out of the freezer that we’ll likely eat on Monday.  My mouth is already watering.  Yum!

11:00 AM: Sisters Diane, Christine, and JoAnn came to clean Mom’s living areas here in the house; they vacuumed, mopped, dusted, and tidied things up.  That was great.  Then, brother-in-law Richard and I moved some furniture around for Mom and it now looks like a new place.  Well, not really, but sort of. 

03:00 PM: Listened to a Casey Kasem top 40 countdown from this month in 1979 for the past three plus hours.  Donna Summer and Anita Ward occupied the top three spots in this show (Donna Summer had two songs in the top three — Hot Stuff and Bad Girls). 

03:15 PM: [Mentat's] sister just arrived to take him home.  Good by, [Memtat].  Had a great time and I’ll see you again next month when we head to the alumni convention.    Thanks so much for visiting the past couple days. 

04:15 PM: Watched yesterday’s episode of   The Young and the Restless   on the DVR.

06:30 PM: Just got back from sister Christine’s.  Mom and I drove there for an hour or so to relax and mingle with family.  Nice.   Now, nap time.

08:30 PM: I’m up again.  I’ve missed my naps the past few days but have enjoyed the company equally.  So I’ve missed out on nothing. 

08:50 PM: Well, the camp session began today that I’ve attended traditionally but skipped this year.  I’m a little sad not being there but the decision to stay home was a good one I think. 

09:25 PM: Walked to Sheetz for some Breyer’s ice cream and noticed for the first time this year, those mid-summer buzzy evening time crickets singing in the back yard.  Yep, summer is getting on.  Talking to [Emmy] now. 

10:30 PM: Fixed Mom’s staticy phone line.  This problem has plagued us for several weeks now, and it appears to have been caused by some loose wire nuts in the basement.  So, I cleaned the connections and tightened everything up, and the static disappeared.  Hopefully it will stay away for a while. 

11:25 PM: Just got off the phone with [Emmy].  There’s been a thunderstorm brewing here for the past half hour or so.  It’s not terribly close but has produced sever deep, window-rattling rumbles.  I hope we have at least one violent thunderstorm this summer.  The past several years, the storms we’ve experienced have been rather tame.  I’d like to see just one this summer where you hear the thunder at the same time that you see the lightning.  But perhaps I should just be thankful that the weather has been as tranquil as it has. 

12:25 AM: Sister Christine called and we chatted about family matters for a half hour approximately.

01:10 AM: Posted the   How To Attract Women   piece to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.  While incomplete at the moment, this work hopefully conveys the supreme importance I place on honesty in all things; particularly when playing the dating game.  I’ll add more prose as the concepts become clearer and more refined in my mind. 

02:20 AM: Bed time.  Look for more right here tomorrow.  Good night.

08:15 AM: I’m up.

09:45 PM: Added the February through March, 2010 issues of Promo Only’s Country Radio music series to my DJ library.

10:20 AM: Sent in my dues and fees for the upcoming   WPSBC Alumni Association   convention this August.

10:45 AM: Ordered this week’s batch of prescription meds that Mom getting low on.  We’ll pick them up sometime in the next few days.

02:15 PM: Watched today’s episode of   The Young and the Restless   on the DVR.

03:15 PM: Added the April through June, 2010 issues of Promo Only’s Country Radio music series to my DJ library.  Now, it’s nap time.

05:45 PM: I’m back up again.

07:55 PM: Talked to   [Ron]  just now.  He’s going to camp and I was just telling him how much I was going to miss being there with him and the crew.  He and a few others are definitely the high points of camp.  Perhaps we’ll go next year but I’m glad we took this year off.

08:30 PM: [Mentat] called to confirm about tomorrow, and to ride me for not yet sending in my alumni convention check.

09:15 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of   NBC’s Nightly News   on the DVR.

09:30 PM: Bleached my sheets and pillow cases tonight, in preps for [Mentat's] visit tomorrow.  They came out looking much whiter than is typical; probably because I used two cups of bleach instead of my usual one cup.  Plus, I let them soak for six hours in very warm water, and I only filled up the washer with just enough water to cover them (about a half-tub full).  I’ll have to remember this recipe the next time I do them.

11:20 PM: Talked with [Emmy].  Told her that I spoke with [Ron] earlier about camp.    She asked about him and enjoyed hearing that he’s really looking forward to attending next week.

12:40 AM: Put the clean sheets and pillow cases back on my bed and iPodded for a little while.  Repeater songs today include:

• Dream Baby – Glenn Campbell
• Una Paloma Blanka – George Baker Selection
• I Like It [With Rap] – Enrique Iglesias with Pitbull
• The Things We Do For Love – 10cc
• Dynamite – Taio Cruz
• Telephone – Lady Gaga
• Turn Me On – Kevin Lyttle
• Your Love Is My Drug – Ke$ha
• No Sugar Tonight – The Guess Who
• Hooray For Hazel – Tommy Roe

They’re coming out with some highly energizing music these days.

01:15 AM: Watched a bit of CNN’s AC 360 but now, I’m done for the day.  So good night, and I’ll be ready for more of life as soon as I get some rest.    Sweet dreams.

07:45 AM: I’m up.  Looks like a cooler but hazy day coming up today, with high temperatures forecast to be in the low to  mid 80s.   

08:00 AM: One week from today, our friends will be going to camp.  As you know [Emmy], [Mentat], myself, and several others opted not to attend this year.  I’ll likely miss it a little; as it’s a perennial summer activity that I’ve enjoyed most every year since 1995.  But we’ll find other ways to keep busy this summer, without assaulting our diet routines to the extremes that we did when attending. 

10:40 AM: Finished paying all pending bills (12 in total this month).  Many obligations a diabetic (Mom) has. 

10:50 AM: Took the   weekly system backups.

11:00 AM: Posted the   weekly site stats   report.

11:30 AM: Finished writing checks and stuffing envelopes for all 12 pending bills. 

12:25 PM: Posted the   Bitter Sweet Attention   piece to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

04:30 PM: Spent an hour plus at the pavilion with [Emmy], listening to our iPods.  Lately I haven’t been listening to Internet radio down there as much as the music that’s stored on the iPod Touch itself.  But I’m still glad that moving my WAP to the attic (getting it closer to the pavilion) and applying all the software updates enhanced WiFi reliability.  Still though, I’d love to have an outdoor WAP at the pavilion.  That would probably cover the whole yard with strong reception. 

05:45 PM: Cooked a pound of top sirloin beef steak and split it with [Emmy].  We also enjoyed some fried onions, mushrooms, and green peppers along with cherries and ginger ale.  Yum. 

09:30 PM: Downloaded Fefe Dobson’s  Fefe Dobson  album from Amazon and added it to my music library. 

12:00 AM: Sister Christine called to chat.  We talked for forty minutes. 

01:30 AM: Watched the 2010-07-05 episode of   Dr. Phil; titled  Teens Obsessed With Love   on the DVR.  Good show.  We skipped the 2010-06-29 and 2010-06-30 episodes of Dr. phil however, as these were reruns. 

01:40 AM: Time for bed now.  Good night, take care, and hopefully we’ll have another nice day tomorrow.

12:52 PM: Is Max and Erma’s still on Lyons Road (or just off of it)? It’s been years since I’ve visited [the south Dayton area, though I lived there for over nine years].

03:24 PM: Hey Mel. How’s it going? You ready to return to camp yet? We miss you. It’s not been the same without you.

05:23 PM: Hey there, [Ann]. It’s been a while. Are you attending the alumni convention this summer? I’ll be there. I must give my treasurer’s report after all.

05:32 PM: Wished niece Catie good luck at her recital performance later this evening.

08:03 PM: Of course. So the question becomes: What’s your true color of your hair? This, or the blonde?

08:15 PM: Cool! The color you’ve chosen  works well for you.

10:59 PM: I enjoyed a light yet very warm day of activity. He wrote around 1200 words, iPodded at his pavilion, went grocery shopping, visited sisters, caught up on email, ate handfuls of mulberries which are just now coming into season, admined his blog sites and was thrilled at the continued increases in bandwidth, and tinkered… with ways of getting his documents indexed faster by search engines. No solution for that found however.

11:13 PM: [Commenting on a picture taken of the Israeli sea side that a friend posted.] Hmmm. No wonder both the Palestinians and Israelis fight so hard to stay there. This is beautiful.

11:30 PM: I like this picture [an old college friend posted recently]. It’s so Garthian.

[Mentat asked if I'd be gong to camp this year of 2010.  I responded as follows:]

Dear   [Mentat],

Well,   [Jack]   is skipping out this year to conserve money for the foot parties.  Further, I think he’s disenchanted with camp, like me.  They’ve cut out so much since I resumed attending in 1995, that there are very few activities available anymore that I enjoy.  They don’t do the ten- or twenty-mile hikes anymore, and this year, they’ve shortened the sessions by a day (to ten days, down from  eleven), and omitted a session besides.  This means that our session will likely be very crowded, and with the faulty PA system there, I don’t relish the dining room noise at mealtimes when so many campers attend.  It’s hard to hear announcements about the activities. 

So nope.  I’m not going this year.

12:30 PM: [Jack] called to say that he had a wonderful time at last weekend’s foot party and to tell me all about it.  Then he and I chatted for a while about camp and the rumoured changes they’re making this year to the session schedules. I told  [Jack]   of my misgivings about attending this year, and he understood.  In fact, he confessed that he’s had similar qualms about going in past years, though he’s never backed out of attending, at least not yet.  He said that [Emmy]  and I would be missed if we choose to stay home.  Nice.

03:00 PM: Worked the   Christmas Lighting: 2009   project.  Yep, it’s time to take down all those strings of lights, and so, I began   that   part of the effort this afternoon.
