Problems arise.

It has come to my attention that the date we have set for our Fundraiser on May 11th, also happens to be Mothers Day.
Now this isn't so much of a concern for us as we are not all mothers (I think Bonnie is the only mother in our class) but we do all have mothers and they might like some special dinner. Option(?) to have mothers be cheaper? Or give something special to them when they arrive? (Just thinking out loud via text).

Also, I don't know much about stuff like kickstarter but I was wondering what anybodies thoughts about a kickstarter project are?  Do you think it would be plausible for what we are trying to do? I know that with kick starter you have to make the entire goal in order to receive it, and that different amounts of donations would receive different items as a bonus for them.

I found a kickstarter (Solera Seed Project)for a garden that has already been fully funded but has a few more days left, if we donate at least $25 we can get "Heirloom Garden Kit: 6 Heirloom tomato plants, each a different unique variety, organically grown and ready to plant in your garden, or in pots on the deck. Plus 5 packets of seeds (lettuce , basil, arugula, cilantro, and kale seeds), complete with growing instructions and personalized help via facebook.com/soleraseeds."    Those would come in sometime in May which could be a really cool thing to do with kids (the planting of the tomato plants and such).. 


I've emailed Common Seed Press to get a quote. As soon as I get a reply I'll post that online.
