Our supporters surprised me

We held a Charity Dinner May 2 at the Treesdale Golf and Country Club in Gibsonia. It was a truly delightful evening. I'm not a fan, generally, of these dinners, but that has more to do with my own makeup than the dinners themselves. Harry Griffith did a great job putting everyone at ease. I spoke briefly about what we were doing: going from 3 out of 4 pregnancies resulting in birth in 2010, to 4 out of 5 children being born in 2015, to 5 out of 6 children being born in . . . perhaps 2017!

I told the people present that we were looking for $15,000. I was surprised. Including some money given before and after the event, we raised something like $23,000! Astonishing! Thank you, VFL supporters!

We are already putting that money to use to improve the search results for Women's Choice Network on Google. March was a banner month for WCN -- the most new clients in one month in their history. We are also doing Google advertising with Choices Pregnancy Services. While pay-per-click advertising works, it may be taking a back seat to Googles' "Local Search" or "Google Places" advertising -- and we're on top of that, too, for both organizations. It should be a good year for saving moms and babies from abortion.
