Someone brilliant (Pookel!)decided that one month of NaNo just wasn't enough. So she started:

30k in December. I've a bit more to go on Dreams than 30k, but I'm hoping that this will help me hit my 1 Jan 06 goal.


See you in January! :D

Saturday December 17
Tracy Hall (Nowich, VT)
9:00am ­ 1:00 pm.

The husband of one of our instructors is VERY ill. He needs two organ
transplants and the waiting list here is so long that he is not likely
to
survive. The good news is that he can establish temporary residence in
Florida where the waiting list is very short.

Our special event on December 17th will be a benefit for Jocelyn and
her
husband, Dave.

We were going to charge $25 admission to the event and use the monies
toward
the cost of the event with left over funds going towards the purchase
of our
gorgets. Instead, we are asking people to make the $25 the baseline
for
participation and contribute whatever else they like. All monies will
go
towards the cost of getting Dave set up in Florida. Participants will
receive certificates instead of medals, no prizes will be given, I will
try
to get Norwich to wave the fee for the facility, and all staff will
donate
their time. This will maximize the amount that we are able to
contribute.

HOWEVER, as always, we do not want ANYONE to miss this event due to the
admission fee. If you are unable to pay, please come anyway. Feel
free to
pay only as much as you like. NO questions asked.

Karla

PS: For those of you who want to help this family with non-financial
support, stay tuned ­ we might go ahead with our earlier plan to help
with
household maintenance as well.

Jocelyn and her family are good people - I have a contact addy as well if you just want to send donations. Email me and I'll email it to you.
