MediKin Demo Doll (Hydrocephalus) Update

We went to Goodwill this week and I looked at shoes for the doll. I got some CUTE sneakers for it (they go well with the jeans & sweatshirt jacket). I also got a pair of pink cowboy boots (they go great with the OshKosh dress) and four pairs of Sesame Street bootie/socks. Next time I'll look for some other items. The more we do to get creative with the doll the more accessible it becomes. We were already getting double takes from people, thinking that it was a real baby. That only increases with every added item. The great thing about that is that it opens the door for conversation, which is a great thing for us! I would really like to create a social media platform for the doll and have pictures following the doll on its 'travels'. It would be great to have a couple of other dolls and follow them on 'travels' further afield than Western Washington.

PLANNING FOR BRAIN AWARENESS EVENT

PLANNING FOR THE BRAIN AWARENESS EVENT IN MARCH

 

 

Plans for our exhibit are underway.  As always, we have the dream list of what we would like to have at the event and the more realistic plan.  This year we have a couple of opportunities to have some giveaway items and some personal appearances.  Unfortunately, both require money.

 

 

My dream is to have our own reusable bags to give away to the kids, as well as 'stuff' to have in the bags that are brain and/or hydrocephalus oriented.  In years past we have had donated bags, which we still might have, but they always promote businesses, without our group name on them.  It would be nice to add that to the offering.

 

 

I just got an email letting me know that one of the personal appearances is possible!  Even if it would be for 1-2 hours of the event, not necessarily the whole event, it would be great to have.  Now the real challenge begins, raising the funds in a short amount of time.

 

 

I've been wanting to have this appearance at the booth for a long time and we are so close to making it happen!!
