Fun updates and a HUGE thank you to you for donating and/or sharing about our movement! We are VERY close to reaching 10% of our crowdfunding goal. That's a great milestone. It's been delightful seeing over 40 people contribute to date! Momentum continues to grow in the background... We have more bookings coming in for service clubs which is great! I've attached the image that's being used to promote an appearance with a Rotary club (feel free to share this with companies or service clubs you know that may want me to zoom in, perhaps with you?). I also have meetings with a private philanthropist and we are pursuing two companies who are interested. We've had some media interest too which is helpful! With our initial momentum, we will attract more interest too from others. We've had over 120 shares on Facebook for example, which is great from a social proof point of view. Please keep sharing, as many people click on links even if they don't comment, and it often takes a number of interactions before someone decides to make a donation. Two quick announcments: 1. Want to hear more about the action behind the scenes and/or to help us to reach more families? We will be having a donor/spokesperson's meeting this Friday Oct 23 at 1 pm PT, for about 30 minutes. Come for as long or little as you can, and be on video or not! You can even call in if that's best for your busy schedule. (Find out what time that is for you here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html). We'll be sending the zoom link to you via email before the meeting tomorrow, if you are one of the donors. Please email me at JRG@greatparentingsimplified.com if you have questions and/or don't get the email. 2. You the amongst the very first to hear that we will have our first official GPS Nonprofit Cooperative meeting on Nov 2 at 12:30 pm PT! That's VERY exciting, and is a big hairy deal! If you'd like to watch the recording of our organization meeting today, please let me know! (The timing is because the official paperwork for our Sept 23, 2020 incorporation as a nonprofit corporation finally arrived). We'll be letting you know soon what the qualifications are to be a member, and what all is involved. Thank you SOOOOOO much for your support! Whatever way you've been able to support this crucial movement is much appreciated. We've seen a number of repeat donations now, which is super appreciated too. The sheer quantity of donations are very helpful, so please know that your donations are super appreciated, whatever the amount is! We'll be talking about a fun challenge that you can be involved in next week, to get more of our friends, family and community members involved, while spreading the word about the help that we are able to offer. We are the wind beneath each others wings. At a meeting this morning I was saying that this is a bit like La Leche Leaugue combined with an education company like a college that has programs to offer for fee. We will continue to grow our free support, while offering more extensive leadership training for the parents and caregivers who want and/or are clear they need it. You are being the change, and it is deeply appreciated! Xoxoxo Jacqueline Green, founder of the Great Parenting Simplified Nonprofit Cooperative (I think I'm going to frame that document!!!!!) PS. The picture of the certification of incorporation is below as well as the photo of the image being used to promote one of my Rotary appearances!
