What started out , to me , as a way to honor one woman I was fortunate and blessed to call friend has grown to encompass so much more. Every year when we do this month long purge a thon, I am amazed and astounded when the final tallies are in. The determination, will and desire that each participant every single year shows simply floors me. My own desire each year is just top the previous years numbers, even if only by one item.
The enthusiasm and support for each other grows and inspires all of us.
With all of that said, this years Purge A Thon total is:
(drum roll PLEASE)
31,138 items
Yep, thats right , thirty one thousand,one hundred and thirty eight items!
My love and appreciation to all of you and PEPE IS PROUD!

Yeah! I just want you to know that this specific event really touched me--I mentioned it elsewhere but it really helped me feel like I have a proud "lineage" and that every trip to Goodwill or Craigslisting something to purge helped me feel like I was honoring them!
I didn't have the good fortune to know the folks who passed on, but just want to appreciate the ever-increasing circle of goodwill that they have helped send out, and to our elder members here who provided a chance for us to participate in a rocking event!

Thanks, pepper, for getting this all together I should have sent you my old adding machine for numbers like these. I just want to say that it pushed me to put my shoulder to the wheel and thanks to all that stuff out of here, I can see more floor than ever. I am grateful for the push.
