Caring for Kelli

Cool things about Kelli

One of Kelli's online artsy friends did and interview and photo spread about Kelli's polymer clay beads. I thought it would be of interest so check out the above link. There are great pictures of her work. These are the handmade beads that are appearing on the lovely bracelets made at Studio 34.

Update from Marilynn at Studio 34

The following is a comment posted by Marilynn, Owner of STUDIO 34,

Volunteers continue to make jewelry with Kelli's beads. We have also recently received a wonderful donation of hand crafted glass bead jewelry made locally by Renee Evans, with pink themes.
Kelli, or someone, needs to set prices on these lovelies, because people want to buy them before we even get a chance to ship them off to Kelli. Three bracelets went to one woman!
In December, Studio 34's annual holiday open house and sale...... volunteers from this group are needed to sell Kelli's jewelry. The open house is December 5 and 6. Great fun and lots of customers.
Let's look at other possible venues.

Marilynne's dedication has been unstoppable and contagious!!!! She has taken initiative to get several items donated, set up workshops, donated much time, energy, and goods herself! Thank you Marilynne!!! You are a gem!

BIG THANKS and some updates

Jewelry Sale

Dan, Amy Schwert and Liz Rich headed up the jewelry sale at the public market. Kelli got up at perhaps a record time to secure a table at 5:30 am. Unfortunately only a net profit of $9 was made after paying for the spot and supplies to display the jewelry. They were stuck in a corner where they were hidden, but other jewelry opportunities appear to be in the future. Again, a huge thanks to AMY, DAN and LIZ for sticking out the day at the Public Market.

Thanks to Mary Gregg for heading up the garage sale. Many hours were spent with her collecting donations, and organizing. Just over $300 was raised. Again, Amy and Dan Schwert helped out on both days. Mary's family, and myself were able to volunteer some time as well.

Liz is working diligently on the roof. Any leads or ideas should be forwarded to her. lizrich@rochester.rr.com

IMPORTANT: Any questions regarding fundraisers or website,  ANY concerns, questions, comments, PLEASE direct only to Julie Weller, Mary Gregg, or Liz Rich. jweller2@rochester.rr.com or vmgregg@bluefrog.com  lizrich@rochester.rr.com Please do not direct such questions or comments (no matter how seemingly innocent) to Kelli. This fundraiser is being done on her behalf. We do not wish her to have to seek out information or cause the slightest amount of stress as this is to benefit her at an already stressful time. Sincere THANK YOU. Julie Weller 

More thank you's to come. Waiting on details.
