Sandoz Fall Pledge Drive ‘08

Hello friends, family, acquaintances, and guests. I am writing this post today because I need to raise some financial support. How’s that for bottom line? Too bold maybe? Or do you appreciate the frankness? Either way, I’ve had some remarkable life developments since graduating from MHGS earlier this year, and I would like to ask for your help with a very dear next step. (Insert sound of drum rolling...)

For those of you who know me well, you know the passion I carry for Third Culture Kids and internationally mobile families. You likely also know of the ongoing volunteer relationship I have enjoyed with Interaction International over the past 13 years. If you don’t know these things about me, well, then, “Hi, have we met?” But seriously, if any of this does strike as news, I would love to tell you more – lots more.

In the mean time, I want to share with you that my relationship with Interaction International just became formal! As the new Director of Adult TCK Services, my part time commitment will mean huge involvement with the ongoing development and delivery of Interaction International’s summer Transition Seminars for TCKs entering North America, serving also as the point person for those who desire follow up after the seminars and beyond. There will be other things too. Much is in the works. So call me if you want to talk particulars, because... these are very exciting times.

For now, it is estimated I will need to raise about $1000 a month. Now, that could come from 5 people giving $200 a month, 10 people giving $100 a month, 20 people giving $50 a month, 100 people giving $10 a month, or really, any amount of people giving at any amount of money that would all somehow end up totaling exactly what is needed for the monthly costs of doing business. The question is: do you want to be one of those people? If you do, I have options for you.

Option 1: Go to Interaction International’s donor page on the website and make a financial contribution by credit card by donating through the Other category, being sure to indicate in the comment section that you’d like your contribution to be earmarked for me. (One day, I’ll have my very own donor link, but for now, I’m still an Other. Ah sweet otherness...)

Option 2: Send a check in the mail to P.O. Box 863, Wheaton, IL 60189. Make the check out to Interaction International, and in the memo line write that it’s designated for me.

That’s it! Now do what you will, and have a good time doing.
