I have made great strides in getting things together for the Great Cloth Diaper Change today. I am, however, seriously annoyed that our location won't count in the total unless we have 25 participants. Pout. The race is on to convert as many people as I can and dig out anyone who already uses cloth. One of the big reasons I decided to host was that there was a giant hole on the map. The closest location was 120+ miles away. Too far for me. Now there is a location in Traverse City and one in Saginaw. Pout again. Of course, an hour is still really far for one diaper change. Hopefully at least one person is glad we have a Grayling location, that would make it worthwhile (mostly).
My mom was gracious enough to offer her flyer-making skills (Thanks mom!). The downloadable flyer from the organization was BORING! not quite what I envisioned. I am really hoping we can draw some people in simply for education purposes. We will have a bunch of different types of cloth diapers there so people can actually see them. I don't think people know how much they have evolved. I truly believe that cloth could help people.
My mom also had the awesome idea to do a giveaway. Yay for giveaways! I'll be making a diaper and matching wipe set for a prize. Added bonus: if participants pre-register, they get an extra chance to win. I love freebies, so I may find some extra door prizes too. If I find the time, I'll attempt to have some wetbags ready.
Mom was also super helpful in spending my money figuring out what I would need to make all the extra diapers. Yes, that means material shopping! I legitimately do not have any gender neutral or boy prints, so I had to order some. I also didn't have large enough pieces of material to make wetbags. I just love when I am forced to order cute prints and squishy bamboo. I do have a big order of fabric coming from a co-op, but I just can't wait. Besides, it will not go to waste. After figuring out everything I needed to make, I will still need more.
My goal is to have a diaper for every participant to borrow if they need one. I am hoping for 25 participants (so we can be counted), so I have a lot of work to do!
