Anyone in need of a vacation? Yeah, I thought so :)

As a fundraiser for my Joints in Motion project for The Arthritis Society, I'm going to be selling tickets for Fort Whyte's Adventure Travel Raffle.

What are the prizes, you ask?

Tickets are 1 for $5 or 3 for $10 and I'll be selling them until the first week of December. 50% of proceeds go to my fundraising project, and 50% go to Fort Whyte - so you're killing two birds with one stone, so to speak (hee hee).

It's a double good deed. A triple good deed, if you consider yourself a worthy cause :)

Contact me if you'd like to buy tickets, or if you'd like to volunteer to sell a book on my behalf.

Yeah, yeah. Send me a book. I've already sent the 'mass email' to all the people that could stand to do something good for the world. Hmm. I may need two if that's the barometer... :)

I don't think Fort Whyte would like to hear that you're "killing two birds with one stone" - I think that's against their moral code!
