We had a good week last week... with just over $1200 raised between t-shirt sales, auctions, personal donations, and one very nicely sized corporate donation.. we've still got a long way to go though guys..

keep watching the auctions closely.. we've got one auction more finishing up tomorrow.. another one finishing up a few days after that.. and then will likely get at least one more finished out by the end of the weekend as well.. between personal items being offered up for auction by board members, and items being offered for raffle and auction by our Operation Esteli business sponsors.. there is some pretty exciting stuff thats coming up for grabs over the coming weeks.. dont miss out...

if your company has a charity program.. please go talk to them about this project.. KK33 was able to secure a really nice donation in a very short period of time, without having to go through a lot of trouble..

If you think your local B&M might be interested in getting behind something like this.. the next time you stop in.. mention what we're doing here.. and provide them both BOTL and MPI web addresses so that they can learn more about what's going on..

thanks for all of your support so far.. its been great seeing everyone come together on this... lets reach the finish line early and make a difference in Esteli!

Operation Esteli had an AWESOME day yesterday... we had a auction close that raised another $160 for our project, LaSirena and Tesa signed on as sponsors, and several more t-shirts were ordered...

we're now 2 shirts away from reaching our t-shirt goal... just 2! lets get those final 2 taken care of today so that we can say we reached our t-shirt goal in just 1 week! who hasnt gotten theirs yet that wants one?
