Hi,

I've just had the most fun weekend taking part in the Eston Primary School 'Color Fun Run Fundraiser'! It got a bit messy and I'm still trying to wash the paint off my skin and out my hair, but it was totally worth it!

It ended up being a great success for them as well, even though it was their first attempt at it... Expect a post on this fun fundraising event soon!

January has also been a productive month and there've been quite a few new articles posted on RFI plus a free PDF Guide that you can download.

But First: Help Me, Help You...

By letting me know what information you want? Are there specific ideas or fundraising types that you are looking for?

Are there questions you have? What information do you want to receive when I send out the Fundraiser Buzz ezine?

Help me add value to you by letting me know what it is you're looking for, and what information you most want! Please reply to this email or contact me via the RFI Contact Form with your answers, requests, and questions!

Thanks!

Now onto January's new additions...
