"Chocolate Lovers Beware!"

Dear "Giving Wings to Thoughts," Bill's Backers, and Facebook friends and family,

A few months before "The Ice Bucket Challenge" miraculously appeared on the scene and blitzed its way across the nation, a college friend and football teammate, John Smith, contacted us with an idea to help the Walk to Defeat ALS effort. He's a fundraising rep for Sarris Candies out of southwestern Pennsylvania. He offered a direct website ordering fundraiser with no 3rd party handling of product. Then, he sent us some samples! This is good candy! We'll have some at the Columbus Walk, Sunday, September 21 at a new location: COLUMBUS COMMONS!

Here are the steps to order:

1. Go to https://www.sarriscandiesfundraising.com.
2. There will be a tab that says "Start Shopping", and you can click on the products you'd like to shop for, i.e. pretzels, boxed chocolates, etc.
3. Once you click on it, a gray box will come up that asks you to enter your group ID number.
4. Our group ID# is: 10-2582.
5. From there, you can place orders and pay online. You can even select a later shipping date. If, for example, you want to order holiday chocolates ahead of time. We're thinking about Halloween and Christmas and their special candies for those holidays.
6. Once you go through the check out process, 25% of your purchase will go to the ALS Association Central & Southern Ohio Chapter.

We currently have the campaign running until Dec. 15, which we might expand if things go well - sort of like the Honeybaked Ham Holiday fundraiser.

THANKS!
Bill & Dorothy Croy
