Busy schedule = a week (plus) worth of little things!

I've had a zany week between work and personal obligations (including a pretty cool fundraiser for pancreatic cancer research at the Tribeca Grand). Here are some little things I've chipped away at since my last check-in:

- I've finally gotten the ball rolling on planning a benefit concert to double as my 40th birthday party this April. Asks are out to a couple of artists and venues, and though I've already hit a few disappointing roadblocks, I'm confident that we can pull off a pretty terrific event!

- We made a terrific leap forward in the freshly minted Found Money Tally 2012 on Sunday, when I stopped by the pet store after brunch to pick up some critter food and found a whopping $25 on the floor in front of the register! That brings the total so far this year to $26.43. A great start!

- On the Carroll Park front, I scheduled a pick up from City Harvest for the goods donated during our December and January food drives, looked into purchasing some vintage photos and maps to display in our park house, and scheduled a pot luck for our core members next month in advance of resuming our monthly meetings in the spring.

- Today I packaged and shipped 21 items that had sold over the past week or so on Amazon and half.com for the Sean McGrath Fund.

- Along with Jessie, my Sean McGrath Fund co-founder, determined our monthly grant for January. We'll announce it on Friday, which would have been Sean's 36th birthday. Stay tuned!
