+bling500 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi Everyone. We are fairly new to Paulding.com but have very much enjoyed reading what many have posted as well as watching and sometimes participating in the fund raising that goes in the Community Chest. I felt that I wanted to do more to help out those in need and decided to do collect change. What I have done is set up a container in our office that reads "Wishing Well for Paulding" and all proceeds will help those in need particularly those on Paulding.com Community Chest. Some may put only pennies but others have done larger coins as well as bills. I am hoping that other business will do the same and collectively we can make a difference. I already have Scarlet @ Scarlet Indulgence, Mickey from Oreilly Auto Parts said I can set a container at his Auto Parts store and also Peggy @ Allon Salon on board to help. As jars fill I would be happy to either collect them or if you bring them to me I will roll and keep track of all funds. I would like all businesses willing to participate to let me know that we can then tell all the people on P.com where locations would be if they would like to donate. Not only can we get the support of the folks on P.Com but the community as a whole. I believe pennies do add up and will make a difference for those in need. I will always keep you updated where funds go. I have seen so many generous hearts on here that I am sure those outside of Paulding.Com would be generous as well. This has been approved by Pubby for me to advise on the business forum. If you have any input or ideas please share them with me. There are a lot of people having hard times and I feel little by little we all can make the lives of others better. If anyone has containers they could donate I would really appreciate that. Thanks Thank You & God Bless YOu Frann Marotti (678)363-5004 It has been brought to my attention that the south paulding school systems do a fundraiser pennies for paulding therefore I will come up with another name. It will be called Wishing Well for Paulding!! thanks IB Any name ideas are welcomed. Link to post Share on other sites

pcomplayal Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 You may want to try talking to the owners of the convenience stores around the county and seeing if they will let you place a jug or donation can or something at their store and that way you can get a good bit of change. Good Luck and Great Job Link to post Share on other sites

Good Luck and Great Job I was thinking that same thing, just got back from the store around the corner, I would have thrown my .60 cents in there. Might not make a huge difference, but if you ain't got it, it can. Link to post Share on other sites

InterestinglyBoring Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Have you thought of any of the local bars? Or the Legion? They do a lot of rides and poker runs for charity? Link to post Share on other sites
+bling500 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Have you thought of any of the local bars? Or the Legion? They do a lot of rides and poker runs for charity? I have not thought about bars but should. If you know of any that would allow the fund raiser and could possibly help us I would appreciate that. We are new to the Paulding area and don't know most places so any people that could be helpful in this area we would welcome. We just need to know the name and location of the place participating. Thanks Frann Link to post Share on other sites

InterestinglyBoring Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Ya know...now I know CO and I can sit in my driveway (oh wait that's me while she tosses coins), but have you thought of the schools? They get all into that stuff and especially the elementary schools, the kids love saving pennies. Just a thought. I'm just not sure how it works with charities, etc. Been involved for years, but I think you have to get someone that is a non profit to handle that. Link to post Share on other sites
