I was supposed to work a craft fair for a SPCA fundraiser yesterday but at the last minute couldn't make it. My daughter was there with her rabbit rescue shelter so I decided to go visit. There were only about 15 booths and was suprised to see that someone else had a PC booth. I was glad I didn't participate. Anyway I walked around to each booth and saw that about half were non profit organizations like my daughter's shelter. I asked each one about the possibility of doing a PC fundraiser for them and think I might be getting some. I was suprised that the person with the PC booth didn't talk to anyone about it before me.
 
I'm hoping I can help these organizations out and look forward to doing more PC fundraisers in the future.
 
That's great that you were able to visit the craft fair and support your daughter's rabbit rescue shelter! It's always nice to see non-profit organizations represented at events like this. And it's even better that you were able to potentially secure some PC fundraisers for them. It's surprising that the person with the PC booth didn't take advantage of the opportunity to talk to the other non-profits about fundraising. Hopefully, your efforts will result in some successful events for these organizations. Keep up the good work!
