I wanted to share my great news! I got a phone call a couple weeks ago from Audrey who works for the Vermont Epilepsy Foundation. Her and I have been in touch since Aurora was offically diagnosed with E in Feb...
We have attended support groups, and meetings. The Epilepsy Foundation did the BIG CHILL last year, and I helped them raise money by putting them in touch with the Vermont National Country Club, who did a generous donation, and also set them up to do fund raising golf tournements! YAY!
Because of my efforts, Audrey called me and said that they were looking for someone to become a board of director for the Epilepsy Foundation, and they would love for me to be ont here team! I had to write a cover letter, and send my resume... The hiring process consists of my resume being reviewed by the board (presidents, board members and directors, ect)...
They came to an agreement that I WAS A YES!!!!!
So November 9th there is a huge banquet in Burlington at the Hilton, and I will be offically announced as a new board of directors!
I am so excited! I think that being more involved with the Epilepsy Foundation will make me much more comfortable in understanding Aurora's E.
They want to train me to become what is called a "Hope Mentor" which would be someone who can talk to families in need of just a ear, or shoulder to cry on!
I got a letter from Audrey today handing me my first project, which will be to write there annual letter! And then to help with fundraising for a Bowling Tournament that is coming up, THAT AURORA will actually be playing in, HEHE!
So I wanted to shed some good news for everyone who I havent told yet! I feel honored to be part of the fundraising process for Epilepsy. This of course touches home, and I will do ANYTHING that benefits Aurora!!!!!
Here is a fun photo from this summer of Aurora, Daddy and Layla on the four-wheeler!
