Hi friends and family!  Sorry I've been so slow in posting updates.  School has been pretty hectic lately; however, I have exciting news from the fundraising standpoint!  CCL Lawrence as a group has raised roughly $670 dollars, which will be split between two or three people.  I only need about $400 to make my budget!

Greetings friends and family!  I would just like to say thank you for all of your support in my journey to get to Washington, D.C.  Until June 22nd, I will post periodic updates with my fundraising progress and opportunities to come see me perform in Downtown Lawrence or buy a scarf at the Arts and Crafts Show next fall.  Once in D.C., I plan on keeping everyone informed by posting photos and brief anecdotes about my time there.  In this way you can all stay connected with what I am doing!
