She Nailed It! 
 
A great big THANK YOU to all of my Rotary friends who donated to the Habitat Lehigh Valley, She Nailed It Hammer Relay Competition! My team “What’s a Hammer 🤷🏼‍♀️“  surpassed our goal of $1500 and raised $2000!  The event is projected to raise well over $45,000. 
Our team even made it to the second round! Hahah....guess we do know what a hammer is after all, with our best time clocking in at 28 seconds. 

What an inspiring afternoon! We were surrounded by supportive women rooting for each others teams, and we learned about the incredible work that Habitat for Humanity does here in the Lehigh Valley. We met a single Mom who now has a home to call her own and a stable environment for her daughter to feel safe in. She has worked side by side with Habitat volunteers to build her home from the foundation up. That is what community is all about! 
You can count me in to be there again next year! Who’s with me?

With Gratitude, Meghan, Katie, Samantha, and Rita 🔨🤷🏼‍♀️🔨

 
DON'T FORGET  - SHE NAILED IT!!
 
 
 
Meghan Reed is looking for some cheerleaders! 
 
I will be competing in the Habitat for Humanity Lehigh Valley, She Nailed It! hammer relay competition in May. (Yes, my hammer will sparkle 💎) 

She Nailed It! is an all women, nail-hammering, relay competition and one of Habitat for Humanity of the Lehigh Valley's signature fundraising events! Habitat Lehigh Valley invites women to devote a day to building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. 

She Nailed It! raises crucial funding and awareness for the housing inequity women face locally and beyond.

In order to compete my team needs to raise $1,500.  If you’d like to to support Team “What’s a Hammer 🤷🏼‍♀️“  I would truly appreciate your generosity!
 
Here are a few ways to donate:
Sincerely
Meghan Reed
 
Find Our Go Fund Me
 
Every week a group of our dedicated members help to pack food for hungry children in our community. Cindy Hornaman and Rick Zayaitz have been instrumental in organizing the logistics and funding of this important Emmaus Rotary project.  Many of our members have volunteered countless hours to pack food, distribute the bags to families, unload pallets of food and even move our location headquarters. How can we ALL be part of the continuing success of the program?  Support our Go Fund Me crowd funding initiative.  

Since we started in July we have raised $4,255 of our $10,000 Go Fund Me Campaign goal to support The Emmaus Rotary Club, East Penn Food Program.  As I have written before, it is important that our Club Members get involved in sharing this campaign so that we can reach our goal of $10,000.  Donating and sharing is VERY easy and with just a few seconds a week, together we will make our goal! (If you need instructions on how to donate follow the steps in the read more section on how you can donate and share) 
 
 
 
 
 
 Join the team! 
SHARING IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS CAMPAIGN TO GAIN MOMENTUM. Creating your own fundraising page as part of the campaign is a great way to invite your family, friends, co-workers, clients, and others to join you in our mission to help feed hungry children!  
 
How to do it:
1) Click the blue JOIN button. 
 
 
 
 
2) Sign in - follow the prompts to create an account or log in with Facebook if you have one. 
 
3) Click the blue JOIN THE TEAM button.  This will automatically make you a member of the team.  Regardless of donation amount.  You can donate whatever amount you'd like even $10 puts us closer to our goal.  EVERY single dollar matters!  You can create a team without donating (I tested this on my husband's cell phone to join the team it took 5 second to do) The goal here is create a page to engage your network and share the information to attract donors. 
4) Now share your link! You can share multiple ways. Facebook, Twitter or copy your link and past it into an email to go out to your clients, workplace, family, friends, and other organizations your a member of.  Remember to share often on your social media pages!  Please consider creating a team for your business.
 
 
 
It's that simple. An easy way for "People of Action" like us to....well...take action! 

 
If you need help with how to share you may reach out to me and I will do my very best to walk you through it or think of some creative ways you can help spread the word. 
 
I have included an email that I sent out to another board that I sit on. Feel free to use it! Just click "read more" below.
 
If you have questions on how to use Go Fund Me please contact Meghan Reed 610-797-5942 / meghanreed517@gmail.com  THANK YOU!!
