It's ON!

Mile...Mile & A Half met the threshold for ticket sales approximately 5 hours before the deadline. We were so far from reaching the threshold just 2 days ago. I don't know what happened and I don't care. I'm just so happy that the film is going to be screened in Woodland on May 7, 2014. I am thrilled to see this film on the big screen and even more thrilled to see it with a theatre packed full of people who love the outdoors. There are still about 23 tickets left now before the event is sold out. It's amazing to be in that position of planning for a sell out. Whoa! What a community!

We've already got some pretty great raffle prizes and now that the film has been confirmed, we are on the hunt for some more. So if you know anyone in the Sacramento/Davis/Woodland area that would like to donate goods or services, just let me know! There will be about 80 outdoor and art lovin' people at the screening that any business would be lucky to have as customers! And I know there are many businesses in the area that would serve the community well!

I think I might be on a high from this film being confirmed. lol

But here's the (sort of) downside. I like coming up with the ideas and I like the planning. Sending a million messages to various individuals and groups was a little difficult because I'm not a pushy person. But even that was okay because I was focusing on people that I knew would love this film... or I guess I'm assuming since I haven't actually seen the film yet. And I love that all the promoting was so successful that we met our threshold and got the event confirmed. And then. It hits. I am in charge. What?? I will have to stand up in front of said 80 people and introduce myself and some others. I'll talk about Big City Mountaineers (BCM) and Summit for Someone. The information is easy. The standing in front is not. I'll talk about my "Made in USA" sponsors. Of course I'll mention all the incredible businesses who provide raffle prizes. Easy breezy! No. But I will do it because I believe in the cause of BCM and I really think people need to know about it. Besides... I am a psychologist and I can handle my anxiety! Just don't look at my shaking legs up there!

If you believe in the cause of BCM and want to help get youth out into the wilderness so they can learn that nature is an option they have in their lives, please go to my Summit for Someone page and donate. To help youth have these great experiences outdoors with beautiful views and awesome people, please go to my Summit for Someone page and make a donation: http://support.bigcitymountaineers.org/goto/summitjourney
