H.O.P.E Festival and USU SAAVI

Last year I had the opportunity to participate in the University SAAVI (Sexual Abuse & Anti-Violence Info) 1st Annual H.O.P.E. Festival (Healing Outreach Passion Effort). Its an event held in the University Sunburst Lounge where local businesses and artisans sell their goods and donate 25% of their proceeds to CAPSA (Community Abuse Prevention Services Agency).

I wasn't able to sell anything last year because, for one, I didn't have enough time to get things ready and I hadn't done any research into what people like to buy (as far as crocheted items go) nor did I have enough experience in perfecting my patterns.

This year, I was excited to hear the SAAVI office was putting on the HOPE Festival again. My friend (who has a friend in the SAAVI office) told her, so she told me. I'm hoping to contribute more this year.

I'll be selling my crocheted things and my digital cards again. I can't think of anything else to sell.
Oh well, Hopefully I can get a lot more things made to sell, and maybe put together a picture portfolio or something. We'll see.

This link is for last years Festival Info, but explains the details of the event. I'm waiting for this years info to come up.
