"Giving Back to our Community and the Youth...."

I am so excited to announce this to our Coupon Divas today! I mentioned it at our meetup yesterday and received a very warm welcome to the idea.

I would like to "offer" this to you, if you would like to contribute to their Wish list.
The Omni Youth Program has a "wishlist" that I thought we might be able to come together and GIFT some of the items on their list, to the Youth of this program. * I thought this would be a good time, to try to donate some items, since "school items" are on sale like crazy right now"


IF YOU ARE ABLE TO GIFT or DONATE to the Omni Youth's Wishlist- Please contact me 916-792-3124 or drop off items at my home in Roseville.
* I would like to BRING a bag full of items FROM the CDC, to Cynthia's home on the 20th- when I do her class.

CDC Mamas- I know alot of us- are also shopping for our own childrens school supplies, so if you are able to (using coupons) pick up some "extra" to put towards this if you would like!

I am working with Cynthia Siegel, she is the executive director for the program. She is super excited about using coupons herself and that is how we were connected. I am doing a coupon class with her on August 20th at 2pm.

UPDATE: Weekly Meetups... please read!

UPDATE
Re: Weekly Meetups

I am going to be still available during the week on Thursdays (but more of a optional meetup) as I have been going to the meetups every week, and some times NO ONE shows and others one or two show up.

So I have decided to be "commited" on a on-call format. Meaning, I would absolutely LOVE to meetup with any diva interested in meeting weekly. *by receiving a call or a text Requesting to meetup with me.
I need to use my time, gas and wisely. At the same time, respect the time slot I have reserved at the facility. * * * So as of this week... if YOU would like to continue to meetup with me weekly or when you can on a Thursday. (during the day)

Give me a call or send me a text. 916-792-3124
In my calendar the time slot is reserved, but if no one calls me by Wed. then I will assume, I am FREE to do other things with my time on Thursday.

"please note, I would rather meetup but I also don't want to be wasting my time, when no one shows up or taking SPACE up in the facility that I reserve, that someone else could use"
