We are approaching the end of July and I am still uninspired with my project for Beading for a Cure. I made glass for it, worked the arrangement out, and started the beadwork while at Bead & Button in June. Since I returned from Milwaukee, I have picked it out of its bag several times, looked at it, and put it back.
I have illustrations still to do for Darth, and I have weekly writing, beta work, and other projects in my mind. I asked, several weeks ago, what we had managed to raise for dollars from the autions earlier this year, and still have not received an answer, and I fear that BFAC could go along treading water for a long time, but never really get very far in raising money for colorectal cancer research.
I love BFAC. As a charity, I have helped with it and supported it since the 2nd year of its inception. I served on the Board of Directors for several years, handled the incorporation and the application for non-profit status with the IRS, and served as its Treasurer and its Secretary at various times. I supplied beads for the challenges on alternate years for eight years. But, when I look at my time and where I want to spend it over the next month, it isn't with this project. I'll make a project with the glass that I made, but not for BFAC. I'm officially pulling out of the Challenge and will no longer participate. It's time to move on. If I decide that there are finished projects that I would like to bid on, I can support the charity through my bids, but I will no longer make beading projects for BFAC.
