Well, here we are again! May 2010 is almost upon us and I have decided to make May 1st the start date for my 2010 Christmas Jar campaign! It will actually start a few days earlier as I have been invited to speak to a local philanthropic group about the power of The Jar on Monday, April 26th.
Now all of you who are rolling your eyes, shaking your head and saying, not again, not so soon, here we go again....you can all just relax!! The goal this year is to continue to increase awareness of the book, Christmas Jars, by Jason Wright, and the tradition of filling a jar. We won't be counting jars but I would love to know the different cities where jars are being filled.
My original goal was to find 2,010 people to fill jars this year but after successfully finding over 1,500 people to fill jars in 2009, my very exhausted family and friends shouted a firm, loud and clear....."NO"! We'll keep it more casual in 2010 by not counting but I hope you will all join me in introducing The Jar to at least one new person this year. Remember, it only takes ONE person and ONE jar to make a difference in ONE person's life.
Let's all be that ONE person!
Here's to more jars (2,010 shhhhh!!!!) in more states and countries than in 2009 (1,500 jars in all 50 states and 13 countries)! As always, I have jars, wraps and books! Feel free to email me at paisleydl@sbcglobal.net or respond to this blog!
Thanks for helping make this Spare Change Movement bigger than ever!!!
