I spent most of today putting together letters to old donors. Quite a number of people donated to my Bike & Build cause in 2006, and I'm hoping that they will do the same this year.
The letters will all be in the mail by the end of the week. In lieu of spending an absurd amount of time going to and waiting at a Post Office, I decided to simply mail order some stamps. I hope they arrive soon.
I feel awkward asking the same exact people for money again, and fully respect those who don't decide to donate a second time. Many of the people I'm asking for money don't know me that well, or haven't seen me in years. However, I think that this is a good cause.
If worse comes to worse, I can cut myself a check. I hope it doesn't come to that.
