Introduction

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog! I will be keeping you informed on my fundraising efforts and preparations for the Washington Journalism and Media Conference, July 8 through July 13. I am pleased to report that I have been able to raise a lot of money towards the conference, and I would like to recognize some of my sponsors. Thank you to the Greentown Lion's Club, the Kokomo Noon Kiawanis Club, the Kokomo Perspective, Dr. James Whitfield Jr., Pastariffic, Eastern Howard School Corporation, Chilis, Robert Adair Farms, and many other individual contributors. Also, a reminder that this upcoming Wednesday is my fundraiser at Chilis. If you get a voucher and eat at Chilis, then 10% of your purchase will be sent to an account benefitting my trip. You can dine in or order take out, and there is no specific time period for when you need to eat. I hope to see you there!
