Greetings!
Happy Fall Colors to you all and Happy Halloween!
Maybe you are wondering: "How much has Blooma raised in the five-plus weeks since taking  on the challenge to help Uganda Mamas?"
Well, I am honored to share with you that WE (meaning all of you) have raised over $8,000!
I am over the moon with the response and the support. But we aren't going to stop here. We are still marching strong to our goal of $20,000 by December 15th, and there are lots of opportunities in November to get us closer.
Please join us for more fun at one or ALL of our exciting Blooming in Uganda events this month. And if you want to contribute but feel stretched this year, look for unique donation events like "Blankets for Uganda".
On another note, I hope I will see you all at BEYOND THE BEDROOM this Sunday night at 5:00 for a great FREE talk about SEX! Join us to learn about your sexual health.
