This morning is my last time on the roof. I have enjoyerd the experience and plan on doing it agian next year. This has become an important topic for me and I plan to continue to help raise awareness as much as I can. We have raised almost $4,300.00 as of this morning and we will continue to collect donations till the end of June. If you would like ot donate online please click on the folowing website.
I want to thank Gary and Brbara for stopping by over lunch and providing us with some bluegrass entertainment and Figarros' for providing pizza for our lunch.
Spent most of the day visiting with city council members learning about what is going on in the community to a greater extent. I can't believe how much I have learned through this experience, it has really open my eyes to mental health issues in outr community.
Just an update so far we have brought in nearly $3,000.00 in contributions. That is a great start on reaching our goal of $20,000.00, thank you all for showing your support.
Last night was a hoot! After I had had most of my visitors, the wind started to pipck up around 5 or so and lasted a few hours. However, before it died down it blew my tent off the roof, no worries though I got it back up after the wind died a little. Later I was able to watch all the High School students come and go for their prom, they all looked so nice dressed up in their formal gowns and tuxedos, I hope they enjoyed their evening.
Today is another bright and sunny day, so far. I had a good night last night with a little rain and the traffic noise on hwy 65 to keep me company.
After a great roasted chicken dinner and an egg and bacon breakfeast I am ready for the new day to begin. There has been a steady steam of visotrs stopping by and showing their support. Many include principals and vice-principals from the surrounding schools.
Please remember to sign the guest book and add your own comments. Thank You ALL
Today is the first day of my weekend on top of the Old Spring Lake Park District Center Building on the SLP HS grounds. The promotions and banners are up (take a look at the pictures) and the suport for raising awareness for mental health and Central Center for Family Resources is growing. I'm ready to start my weekend, I have my tent all setup, a lounge chair to relax in and plenty of supporters to cheer me on.
I was getting a little worried at the beginning of the week on the account that the weather reports were calling for rain, but the current weather of 73 degrees and sunshine with a slight breeze couldn't be better. I look forward to seeing everyone who stops by to show their supoprt. I am fortunate enough to have some entertainment this evening as I get to have a birds eye view of the high school baseball game, GO SLP.
The Spring Lake Park/Blaine fire department has already stopped by to show their support and offered me a lift in the process, Thank You. I understand that Biff's Bar and Grill will be providing me with dinner tonight, I can't wait. Channel 5 has been out early this afternoon talking to me about what I am doing and hwy, they have agreed to air a bit on this evenings news, so if you get a chance check out Channel 5 news.
