Hi all,
In getting ready for May's Mental Health month I had to add up some numbers for my blog. I was over joyed to get our annual numbers totaled up. In the last twelves months the Mental Health Humor blog has almost 100,000 unique visits and over 366,000 page views. That does not unclued the the website or all the published cartoons. So I want to thank every one for your support.
Now I'm getting ready for our second annual Cartoon-A-Thon to draw one cartoon for each day of Mental Health Awareness month.
This year you will be able to see the cartoons here on the blog, but the site I'm volunteering for will post them first. That URL is mentalhealthcartoons.com
They will help keep track of any donations too.
I've been hired to do a few presentations for some local non-profit mental health groups. More presentations will come if this cartoon-a-thon works out.
"All proceeds from our Cartoon-A-Thon go to support the development and implementation of the Mental Health Humor project and funding free public presentations. "
I need a new laptop (new-ish) and projector and other supplies. Since there have been so many cut backs down here finding funding is harder then winning the lottery.
Well, I'm getting my art supplies ready and thinking up some ideas for cartoons so make sure you keep checking in for the new toons.
I'll keep every one updated... I am looking for volunteers....
Any bloggers that want to help by posting the daily cartoons let me know.
If you have some free time and want to ask people or providers in your area to make pledges here is a pledge sheet *(PDF file) .
e-mail if you want to help...
