GOOD MORNING...

DO YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT? IF YOU DO, HERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO HELP THE NATIONAL INCLUSION PROJECT. 

Our cause is in America's Giving Challenge—Let's win $50,000!
Hi everyone,

The National Inclusion Project just entered in America's Giving Challenge, which gives us a chance to win $50,000! To win, between now and November 7th we have to get the most donations to our cause (every person can donate once per day between 3pm and 2:59pm the next day and have it count as a unique donation). We can also win daily awards of $1,000 and $500 if we can get the most people to donate in any 24-hour period. The great thing about this Challenge is that it doesn't matter how much you give, but instead how much you do to encourage friends and family to get involved in our cause. We all need to come together and start promoting the cause if we want to win.

Each of us has tons of friends on Facebook who we can ask to donate to our cause. But let's think big too—can you put our cause in your email signature, can you throw a party and get people to donate through the cause when they enter, can you organize other people to go out and fundraise from all of their friends? As you reach out to your friends be sure to tell them why this cause matters to you. The possibilities are endless so let's talk about what we can do to win on the Wall of the cause or by replying to this bulletin.

I think we can do it! But it's going to take all of us. Check out the Giving Challenge ( www.causes.com ), then visit our cause to see how we're doing so far and get involved.

Let's win $50,000 for our cause!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to everyone here in Canada!!
 
New blog for the holiday with a new montage As Long As We're Here.
 
Day 3 of a taste of winter snow and blowing. It's downright chilly! Friends holidaying in Florida just wrote that it's 90+ there, too hot to go anywhere other than the air conditioned car. Where's a happy medium!!
 
Thank you for the blog visits and comments!

Hello, ANN!   

Condolences for Clay Aiken and his family continue to pour in following the death of the beloved grandfather known to thousands through the writings of his grandson and a very special moment at the 2005 Joyful Noise Tour Concert in Raleigh.

That's the lead at Carolina On My Mind as the Clay Nation remembers Papa Aiken. Featured are the Beautiful Star graphic by cindilu2 and hosaa's wonderful montage.

Another blog devoted to the passing of Papa is Clay Aiken News Network.

We thank you for your visits, hits, comments.   

Have a great weekend!
