OLD BIDNESS:

FITA Recap

1)    Over $21,410 has been donated to Arthritis Foundation on behalf of Kids

2)    with Arthritis. And, some donations are still trickling in.

3)    4-Year Total is over $77,000!

4)    Our club received a lot of good publicity from the following sources:
Sunny 105.9 FM
Radio Margaritaville
The weekly newsletter published by the CEO of the National Arthritis Foundation
Rochelle Lentini’s blog (our honoree child’s mother)
PHiP Leaders’ E-Mail Distribution List which goes to all club leaders nationwide
We ended up with 3 families who have children with arthritis in attendance, and they are all huge fans of the Parrot Heads now. You could really feel the love in the room. Parker’s mom said that he paid for his bowling efforts for a whole week after the event, but when his doctor asked him about it, he said “It was totally worth it!”

5)    The next event for the Arthritis Foundation will be the “Let’s Move Together Arthritis Walk” at Lake Eola on May 12 at 8:00 AM. There is no charge and no requirement for fund-raising. George has started an on-line Parrot Head team, and you can sign up if you want to attend. It’s something the charity does once a year to bring people together without having to feel the pressure of fund-raising.
