Must make you feel terrible when you put so much effort into it, and the turn out isnt as great as you would hope, but at least you can say you tried and thats still an excellent thing  to you

It's sad your dissapointed which your fundraiser... but you should be proud of yourself!  

Considering the population of people and how many actually put the effort and time into such an event...your one of a small majority of poeple out there making a difference for those affected by breast cancer and every bit counts...

   Good on you Kathy! 

Cheers,

Tanya

Sorry to hear about your fundraiser Kathy, but I agree with the above 2 posts, you should be proud of yourself for what you did achieve.  You did something for a worthwhile cause and made that many more people aware of something that they might not otherwise, been aware of.  Chin up Kathy and be proud!

Kathy, don't be dissappointed, it's the people that didn't attend and support you that should be dissappointed.  You did your bit!!  Your a wonderful person just for organising such an event!!  It's not easy I know!!

Hi Kathy,

I'm sorry to hear your girls night for pink ribbon month wasnt as successful as you wanted it to be.  On behalf of all us girls out there thank you for making the effort to help raise awareness for a fantastic cause.  From myself who has had my gran, aunty and my mum struck with cancer I would like to thankyou for making the effort to hold the girls night to raise the money.  My sister-in-law has done the girls night in 2 years running and i have helped both years and I know how hard it is and how much work goes into making the night a success.  Please dont be discouraged about the poor turn out.

Hi Kathy,

Try not to let these people get your down.  Fortunately we see the importance of your fundraiser night and think you are amazing for organising it.  BUT as I have found with party plan...............man can you ride the wave.  This is one of those downers where people just don't care.............and especially when it wasn;t even about you but about raising money and awareness..........it still is not enough to get people to come and just support the cause.

I have learnt you just need to shake these unpredictable experiences off - I think don't even learn from it.  It was totally out of your control so there wasn;t anythign you could have done better or differently.  Just focus on your next party or next planning strategy.  We are all party planners and we know how deflated this can leave you and we have all experienced it.

Unfortunately these days people just take their freebie hostess gift and don;t even care about us having to earn an income from this.  So how can we expect people to then support such an imporatnt cause?  I think this is a sign of how the times have changed and how selfish people have become.

Sorry to everyone - I didn;t mean to ramble but I just felt what you are feeling!!!  And I can see lots of other ladies are feeling it too!!

Hi Kathy,

You deserve a pat on the back for going out of your way for such a worthy cause.  I don't know why people are not as accommodating these days it is the way things are.  We are all too busy working too hard to pay for all the things we don't need, people don't seem to have time anymore.

Well done to you for taking the initiative to arrange your event every little bit helps!!

Well done and don't feel bad - you did your best and that is all anyone can expect. You can hold your head high.

The general consensus these days with my customers is something like 'OMG not another fundraiser!'  Every time we turn around these days someone is asking for a donation for this cause or that cause, it is unbeleivable.  I am not saying that any of these aren't worthwhile causes but with the cost of living so high many people 'donate' to themselves first and alot of charities are feeling the pinch.

Well done for putting in the effort though.
