I am currently committed to collecting funds for the MS Society SA & NT, every Thursday sitting out the front of the Hotel my writing group will be attending a little later.
So far, my results with this have been a little patchy, but there has been at least a little bit of money added to my collection tin every time. I’m also collecting online, as well, so for all I know, there may be a little more money there as well.
I think the most important money making task could have been what I did yesterday, two things actually. I was at that same venue, the Prince Albert Hotel, for the launch of my new poetry collection, “Leonard Cohen Is Dead”. The book launch went well, with a goodly number of books sold, which was great.
But the relevant thing is even greater, because I am going to donate 10 percent of my takings from sales of this book, to my fundraising, for the rest of June. After that, any book sales, if there are any, will be all mine …
I’m hoping I can raise more funds this time, that I did last time. Because the tins are closed in, I don’t know how much money they have in them, and I haven’t counted up my money made for book sales yesterday, but I expect it to be at least $100, so that will mean popping $10 into the tin …
I have also left a collection tin on the front bar of the hotel along with some information from the MS Society SA & NT, for anyone interested in knowing more about Multiple Sclerosis. It feels like a good thing to be doing, for the Society, that has done good things for me!
