Jail n Bail

A Benefit Bank site in Central Ohio has found a really creative way to do a fundraiser.  They are "jailing" staff and volunteers, and asking for "bail" to get them out.  The event is happened on April 1st.  While I do think it would be quite funny to tell everyone I know on April 1st that I am in jail and need bailed out, Heather and I (Sarah) are in training all week so neither of us can help out.  If anyone out there wants to be involved in the Jail n Bail with T.O.U.C.H. (a prison re-entry organization), here are a couple ways you can get involved:

1) Register to be "locked up" on the day of the event and raise your "bail" by calling people you know to donate. I am attaching a registration packet if you would like this to do this option.
2) Register to be "locked up" right now and raise your bail from home (we have an email template for that that you can send to people)
3) Donate to my (Lena) bail. I am jailed ahead of time for being guilty of "overuse of deadlines" and need to raise $1,000 bail. You can help bail me out by going to www.touchimp.org and clicking on the "Donations" tab which will take you to PayPal.
