# 29 Get Ready to PARTY!

Goal # 10, Send sixty invites for a party. The invitations were electronically delivered so this one can occupy the "done" pile. Now on to managing my time to actually plan, prepare, and get ready for the important event. This should have been on my sixty list--prepare sixty finger foods or, heaven forbid, make sixty cookies.

I did have the foresight to combine this goal with # 11 Raise $600+ for charity. Pretty sneaky, but I was in a quandary on how to approach this one. I deliberated on a couple of ideas and came to the conclusion that: 1. no one would buy my mittens even if I wanted to sell them and that also includes the pottery pieces, and 2. the cookie goal has not gone well and so will not pursue that venture. That left me to relying on friends (again) to pull me through.

Actually, the inspiration for a cause came from reading a Rotary magazine. Below is the exact wording of the invitation and it seems as if everyone has been receptive to the idea.

As most of you know, I have been diligently working on my sixty list and now that summer has arrived, goal #10, Send sixty invites for a party, needs to be completed. Meanwhile, I had been searching for anything with the number sixty to coordinate with goal # 11, Raise $600 for charity.

It was an "Aha!" moment when I read in the Rotary magazine that for as little as $0.60 worth of polio vaccine, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life. Fortunately, polio was never a part of my life, and thanks to Jonas Salk, a vaccine was discovered that would protect us all. Americans are now free of this virus; but even with the work of Rotary International and the World Health Organization, polio has not been eradicated in four countries (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria).

Please, no gifts or cards. However, if so inclined, any donation to The Rotary Foundation will help this cause and be greatly appreciated by the children of those countries.

Join us for the sweet part of this goal which will feature swinging music, socializing, and sweets for our honored guests.

The invitation via internet was fairly easy and now on to hosting the gala affair. Fun, food, and "sixty" tunes along with fundraising for a worthy cause hopefully has success written all over it. Soon I will be checking these goals off with a smile on my face because... everybody loves a party!
