ctt opportunities

People are always asking me how they can help CTT. Of course, we would never turn away cash or checks! But there are other ways to help, as well. Here are a few on the table right now:

Join the planning committee for the 4th Annual Change the Truth Friendraiser/Fundraiser. The event will be held in June in Kansas City. You could help organize in advance and/or work at the event itself.

Donate items for the event's silent auction (weekend get-aways, wines, tickets to a Royals Game, spa treatments, store gift certificates, etc.)

If you have graphic/web design skills or know someone who does, please consider taking on the task of redesigning the CTT website and brochure, as well as the event invitation. I would like to do this as a trade: my photographs for your work.

Arrange for a CTT presentation at your church, synagogue, workplace, school, etc. The power point and video talk runs about an hour (including questions and answers). There is no charge; a small donation from the group or sponsor is appreciated, however. This is a great way to share your enthusiasm about CTT with your friends and colleagues. (And I usually bring door prizes!)

Host a fundraiser at your school or in your neighborhood. Be creative! A group of young girls in Colorado just had a cookie and hot chocolate sale.

Join Team 5! It’s not too early to start thinking about joining me next December as part of our annual volunteer trip. This year we will stay in inexpensive housing within walking distance of the orphanage, and we’ll be on the ground for 10 days – 2 weeks. If you have not already contacted me and are interested in getting more info, now’s a good time to do so.

Volunteer at the orphanage on your own schedule and for an extended period of time. We are just beginning this program and have already had quite a bit of interest. This would be perfect during the summer for a college student or anytime during the year for a gap year student.

Please leave a comment or contact me directly if you’d like to talk about any of the above. You know I’d love to hear from you.
