Another opportunity in the form of the Nolan River Wildlife Annual Fundraiser allowed me to raise money for their efforts. On the drive to meet Melissa I set the intention to keep my ego in check and sell every hat I brought.
This might the 4th event Melissa has pitched in and ran the operation. I pretty much just have my head in the iPhone and felt tip marker smell, drawing caricatures. I do perk up and accept all praise for how they turned out. After all the hats are friggen adorable. The caricatures are well... they are getting better each year.
Not everything I have put out on my tables over the years gave me the "nailed it" fuzzy. Animal lovers graciously helped me raise funds and purchased items here and there. Honorable mention to Joyce who smacks down a couple Benjamins at most events. I am proud of this year's stock and hugely grateful the attending animal lovers agreed.
We were able to donate a lot of bank, and I have only a handful of hats left. Props to the DJ who hawked the hats all night long. Props to my team of Guides and Angels, on both sides.
This event provided introductions for me to spread this hobby of mine to other organizations who are currently being deprived of the opportunity to own one of these beauties.
One last word of thanks goes to GEORG WILLIAMs whose original caricatures I adored, studied, practiced and put my own limited spin. Georg has passed but I want to believe he paints with me as I raise much needed monies for the animals.
