A friend, Ron, asked me to bring my pens to a meeting last night, so he could look for a gift for his and his wife's bosses. By the end of the meeting, I had sold $300 worth of pens, and Ron still has not bought any (he couldn't decide, so I'll meet with him & his wife this afternoon after work).

The proceeds of all my sales go to my son's school. And $250 of the sales last night were by checks made out to the school, which means they will be matched by a foundation, so that's $500 for the school! (plus whatever Ron decides to buy!)

Steve, great job and and even a better job of getting checks made out to the school, I know how important the school is to you and your son.....
 
Thanks Roy - and again, I appreciate your contribution to the school. I feel pretty comfortable saying that school saved my son's life.

For anyone interested, here's a video clip the local ABC station did a few months after the school was presented on Good Morning America.
 
Way to go, Steve. I am one of the lucky ones, both of my kids were ok, but I do have several friends whose children have that problem to varying degrees. You are so lucky to have a school of that caliber available to you. Keep up the good work with the pens, you are so special.

Well normally I would say you did a good job on your sales. But you didn't - you did an OUTSTANDING job. I'm really impressed, I watched the video clip and I wish there were more schools like this around the country. I end up working with a number of adults who have autism in my field and I can only imagine how much having this kind of program when they were younger would have changed their lives and where they are now. What you are doing is remarkable and I wish there were more of you out there!!!!!!!!!!!! :smile:
 
Thanks guys. For our typical craft shows, my wife does knitting (cool shawls & scarves) and I do pens & stoppers, my daughter does all sorts of jewelry (including her "Redneck Jewelry" - bracelets made out of soda can tabs & hemp cord), 86 year old grandma does the crocheted rugs - all to benefit the school - they're just super folks there at the school.

Kenny has a lot of therapy sessions, and we joke that these crafts are our therapy, but there's actually a lot of truth in it. :rolleyes:

(PS - Ron came through for a $50 pen, too!)

Well, back to the shop for a little more "therapy"! :bulgy-eyes:
