Just to share my joy with y'all - BOBBY SHRIVER IS IN MY TOWN !


I met him and some of his staff from (RED) tonight at an event to honor Bobby's father (Sargent Shriver). Maria was here too.


Tomorrow, Bobby and staff are meeting me at one of our local GAP stores to meet and greet customers as they come into the store to inform them about (RED) and to encourage them to BUY MORE (RED)!


I can't wait. I'll take some pics and hopefully be able to share them with all of you.


I'll also report back on what happens tomorrow at the GAP store.


SO COOL!

I spent two hours with Bobby Shriver and Julie from (RED) today as we visited two GAP stores in Austin to gauge how well (RED) is selling in their stores and to see where (RED) could make improvements to increase its sales.


I don't have the time right now to tell you all about it (some of it I won't tell anyone about to maintain confidentiality) but I will just let y'all know this story:


I had brought my three onesies that I had ordered off the GAP (RED) website just in case these weren't in the stores yet and possibly Bobby wanted to use them for publicity shots.


None of the GAP store employees had seen these in person yet and neither had Mr. Shriver!


As soon as he saw the three that I had (Delive(red), Diape(red) and Ado(red)), he immediately fell in love with them!


He really liked the little teddy bear tag with the (RED) logo on it.


Then, the most surreal thing happened - HE ASKED ME IF HE COULD BUY THESE OFF ME to send to a friend of his who had just had a baby!!!!!


I immediately said "Of Course" and the next thing Bobby was doing was writing out a note to his friend and the GAP store personnel - more in shock than me - simply went about the process of wrapping up the package to get ready to send.



Looking back on it, it was the funniest and coolest thing that could have happened today.


True story. More tomorrow.

^ that must of been an amazing experience... want to hear all about it... very..very ...

.. just got my ado(red) onesie in the mail today it's a gift for a friends 1 yr. old ... can't wait to give it to her .. it's the most adorable thing i have ever seen .... at the GAP stores here (NYC) they didn't know anthing about the baby (RED) either ..

 

[Val]

so cool! I want those onesies, and I don't even have a baby!

 

[JCOSTER]

First day all went really well and the teachers even learned a thing or two.

The kids were very willing to try to raise money they really wanted to do something. I even told them about RED and if they can't aford to give money wearing a RED necklace or T would be a great advertisement and how they could bring awarness to everyone.

Someone even asked why the color red. I got to say a little Bonoesc of "because RED is the color of emergency."

They had so many questions to ask and thank god with the help of the teachers I got through them all.

Onto tomorrows half.

 

[Val]

JC..you must be exhausted. I know, I do it everyday. But whenever I make a presentation, I feel exhausted after from the pressure and excitement. Go to bed so you make sense tomorrow.

 

[u2trinity]

Very cool JC .
"because RED is the color of emergency."
keep up the great work .

 

[JCOSTER]

JC..you must be exhausted. I know, I do it everyday. But whenever I make a presentation, I feel exhausted after from the pressure and excitement. Go to bed so you make sense tomorrow.

I don't know how u teachers do it. I was really tired and I was only in school from 12-3. God Bless Teachers!


But, I really liked talking all about Africa and could have gone on forever.

 

[jaynejenjune]

JC ... So happy that all went well ... Good Luck tomorrow!

I'll post more about my afternoon with (RED) tonight but I really thought that it was of the funniest things in my life to happen when Bobby Shriver bought my onesies from me to send to a friend of his!

He was amazed that I not only knew about the product but had it purchased before he even saw them.


Everyone in the store thought that it was truly a "special moment".

JC, raising the awareness through the children is a great idea! My co-workers at school are always questioning why I wear the safety pin daily. It would be so cool if your presentation could travel................

AND I love the dresses, they look soooo comfy.

 

[JCOSTER]

I am hoping that the school district would want me to go to the other schools in out town. There are 6 including mine. My school is the smallest out of all of them!

Thanks

OK, here is the next update regarding the AMAZING time that I spent with Bobby Shriver and Julie from (RED) yesterday:


I took a lot of pictures of the trips that we made to the various GAP stores and finished out a roll of film.


Julie asked me if she could take the roll of film and have it developed when she got back to California. At first, I wanted to say "but it's my roll of film" and then I thought about it and realized that probably they wanted to have a bit more control over how pictures of this visit were distributed to protect (RED) from any unauthorized use so I gave Julie my roll of film and am waiting on my roll of film with pictures of Bobby Shriver, my daughter and her boyfriend and Agnes Nyamayarwo (who I met at a ONE training in Houston back in March and had lunch with) to be emailed back to me from (RED).


Bobby also asked me to do a write-up on our adventures in Austin for (RED) for the ONE blog which I am currently doing and which will be posted next week. Julie will do a write-up for (BLOG)RED on our time together yesterday also.


I have ONE more thing to share tomorrow which will make all of you VERY HAPPY!


Have a GREAT night

 

[JCOSTER]

Why can't you just share it today?

Why can't you just share it today?

You know why . . . .

Why can't you just share it today?

Good things come to those who wait, my friend.

That's what I've discovered in life.
