Great post, Norma. I was just noticing today that Claudia's donated amount is way down. I'm hopeful that people are waiting until the deadline to donate.

margene

We can all do more and we must all do more. Nice post, Norma.

SUE

Thanks for the reminder - starting up a business in this economy has me pinching pennies everywhere - even in ways they don't need to be pinched. I've never had rose petal jam and would love to try it. I'd even send you a treat back.

Jean E.

I would love some jam and I will donate! Also, I would like to remind people that many of these donations are tax deductible.

Doug Sprei

On behalf of the Orphan Foundation of America, thank you very much, Norma, for doing so much to spread the word about our mission and programs to your ever-widening knitting circle.

jessica~

Thank you Norma, you are awesome.

Geri

I've made my donations this morning. Also, I'm forwarding the info on the Red Scarf project to my daughter in CO. Her Stitch n' bitch group is looking for a service project. This is perfect! I too will participate in the scarf project as well. Tomorrow morning I'm off to my LYS to get the yarn!

marianne

Does a bear shit in the woods? I'll be making a donation today and email you! Rose petal jam? (I'm about to wet my pants, sorry)

Carol

Yikes! I've been remiss in getting over there to donate. Thanks for the reminder. And I'm totally into the rose petal jam! I don't have any rugosas so haven't tried it. Sounds yummy!

claudia

Thanks Norma! You are the best.

(Actually, I just typed "bst" but corrected it since there would be varying ways to interpret that).

Isela

Thank you Norma for helping us out. Thank you to all the knitters, crocheters, fiber enthusiasts for helping us. Together we can all make a difference. It is the small things that count. Thank you. Thank you.

It is on the log in page, right under the log in box :)

Imbrium

Did you say rose petal jam? Will it survive being shipped to Colorado? Because I'm all over that.

I mean, yeah, I was gonna donate anyway, but if I can get jam in the deal.... :)

Michele

Thanks for the mention. :) I'd really like a jar of the jam and I'll definitely be donating to Claudia's ride this week.

Elizabeth D

Hey, Norma -- I already clicked for Claudia, and my sister and her younger daughter are doing the 3-day down here in Philadelphia, so I donated to them. And a red scarf is in progress. . . don't need the jam, but just so you know stuff is happenin'

Kris

I donated to Claudia last week - can I still qualify for the jam? :)

kmkat

I noticed yesterday that Claudia's total seemed awfully low, but (duh) didn't attribute it to the economy. I have already donated, both cash and a couple prizes. Thank you for bringing this to your audience's attention. I hope they listen and cough up ;-)

Rachael H

I won't have any spare cash till Friday, but will be making at least a small donation to Claudia's ride as I've been meaning to for a couple years and have yet to have spare money at the right time (college student's budget without taking the classes). Also, if I'm not too late, rose petal jam? Yet one more reason to count me in!

Rosemary McNutt

Just gave a "shawl" cost to Claudia and to the Red Scarf project. Hope it helps and Mr. J. gets a really good belly rub for it. Oh, I do love jam.

Cookie

Thanks for the wonderful reminder, Norma.

I'll be in the naughty corner if you need me.

Lynn

My Red Scarf (actually a shocking hot pink) is done. I have wanted to donate to this for several years, but could never complete the scarf on time. This year it is done, done, done!

Barb

And here I am wondering what to do with all this russet red yarn. Thanks!

cari

Already donated to Claudia last week, but alas no jam for me ;)

I'm gearing up to ask people for money, too. Kind of dreading the chirping crickets sound to follow.

Sarah

I sometimes feel frozen when I think about all the need. Then I shake it off and do something.

minnie

i had to wait until i got paid from my new job (thank god!) beforei could donate, but i did donate to claudia's ride a few days ago. do iget at least a chance at the rose petal jam? (remember pear butter?)
