The other day, I asked our Thai-Robics class if they are ready for spring and summer and if they have gotten their lawnmower blades sharpened. The response from one student was, "Why? Are you starting a new business on the side."
Later that day, I thought to myself, "Well... maybe I will start a business on the side." Of course, starting a business on the side will definately have some parameters. I only want to be in business for 1 hour, and I want all of the gross revenues to benefit a small non-profit organization, preferably one that is trying to get started.
So... the day I will be opened for business will be tomorrow (Saturday, April 24), from 10 am until 11 am. I will be sharpening lawn mowing blades for donations. Please, don't bring any other items you would like sharpened, such as your $500 Hinkle knife set, because I will significantly decrease the resale value for you. If you have no clue on how to remove your lawnmower blade, just bring in the whole mower.
The organization we will be donating the funds to will be Destitute Duffel. They are an organization trying to provide hope and shelter for homeless people. They do have a website http://www.destituteduffel.org, but you will be able to learn more about them through their Facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/#!/DestituteDuffel .
See you Saturday!
