An Ark on the horizon

Can you see it? That dim shape just out of view?

It's the last day of Portland-wide fundraising, and we've been beseiged with questions all month about the state of our goal. Here's what we know now?

• Stores across Portland have been collecting donations in multiple forms - cash, checks, and who-knows-what-else. At the moment, we do not have totals.
• Several Knit Purl customers have also donated online (still time to donate!)

This means that next we have to figure out how to consolidate all these donations and get them to Heifer International and into our Ark Fund. If we send Heifer the checks and cash separately, the total won't be tallied with our online donations, it turns out. Sooo, at this very moment, we are working tirelessly to arrange a happy medium with our favorite charity and get all your donations counted together.

Keep your fingers (or needles) crossed for us, and we should have our fundraising total sometime next week!
