Refer a Friend - Reduce your Program Cost!

I just received this email from ISV!

Refer a Friend - Reduce your Program Cost!

ISV is giving you a chance to save money by referring friends to the ISV Program. Every time you refer a new participant to this summer’s program, you will receive $200 USD off your program cost!

Refer 10 new participants and we will cover your program costs! (valued at $3,295 USD).

Each new participant who lists you as the referral will also receive $100 USD off his or her program costs so start telling your friends and colleagues now!*

To receive this incentive, after being accepted into the ISV Program, your referred participant must write “referred by - your name - your school” in the promo code box on their Program Agreement.

SO, if you are even thinking about this program do it now to grab this opportunity! Not only will you be helping me, but you will be helping yourself with the $100 off! It is not to late to start this journey! If you do make sure to list me and "Elaine Washam- Idaho State University"

I think this is pretty cool of them. Also, tell your friends that are in to traveling and volunteering about my blog so they can get the discount!

Sponsors

Today I'm working on sponsor letters and where to send them. It is actually quite fun. I think that the biggest and hardest one to do will be finding a restaurant to sponsor a dinner party for me and give me a percentage of the donations. I think it will be a really fun event to do however, and I'm really excited about it! I'll use my new photoshop skills (I'm currently in a photoshop class at ISU) to make advertisements and everything!

Anyways, that is what I've been up to and when I actually send the letters out/visit businesses I'll let you guys know how successful I am!

The Semester Starts and Time is on the Run Again

Well, the semester has hit the end of it's second week which means the real work is just starting. I'll admit that this week was not a good one for my pursuit of ISV. All I managed to get done was fill out my flight preference form and mail it in with my flight deposit. Oh, I guess I also figured out how to get travel and flight insurance, I just have to decide who I am buying from. Well at least it is something.

I really just need to start focusing on my fund raising. But next week is a new week and I'm all smiles.
