<![CDATA[Attention all not for profit Charity Organizations: Thunderbowl Lanes will be opening a Texas Holdem Card room on October 30, 2008. Charities are wanted. We will have 10 poker tables complete with chairs, waitresses, and dealers. Under the Michigan gaming law, charities can hold Millionaire Charity nights for 4 days in a row and up to 4 times a year. Total of 16 days per year. Thunderbowl Lanes will supply the dealers, the cards, the chips, the tables, and the chairs. We will serve the room with food and beverages. The State of Michigan mandates that we give 50% of the profits to your charity. So for example: Each poker table brings in approximately 60-90$ per hour. We hope to have at least 4 tables running for your charity each and every night. The four tables should gross $1500-$2500 per night. This means your charity will take home between $750-$1250 per night. The only thing that Thunderbowl Lanes would need from your charity is a worker that has been a member of the charity for at least 6 months. Your designated worker will be in charge of handling the money and the chips. "we will provide help to your worker" Your charity can make between $3000 and $5000 for the 4 day event. Thunderbowl Lanes wants to give the surrounding communities a chance to help their charities by holding these events. Our bowling center has been re-built, our poker room is a state of the art facility. My name is Michael and I am the designated representative for Thunderbowl Lanes. Please feel free to call me at 313 399-6230. I can answer any question you have, and would be more then happy to explain every detail of the Millionaire Poker Night. This is 100% legal and regulated by the state of Michigan. Charities are lining up fast, so please get your charity involved today! ]]>

<![CDATA[If you are a member of a group, club, organization or other worthy cause, that is looking for a fundraiser that is a little different than what you're used to, then I urge you to email me for information. By doing so, you'll find out about my family-fun entertainment event that is guaranteed to put smiles on people's faces, make you look good in the community, all while raising funds for your cause! Also of importance, is that this is a fun and easy way to rake in thousands of dollars! Actually, the amount of money you wish to raise is ultimately determined by you. Plus, I will be there, every step of the way, assisting you and your group to make sure that everything goes off smoothly! Lastly (and before this starts sounding like a commercial ad or cheesy infomercial!), there is no huge upfront investment required - after all, there is no need to invest a substantial amount of money just to try and raise funds, right?! And the best part, I guarantee that you'll make money off of this, or there is absolutely NO CHARGE TO YOU! Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this and I really hope that you'll take the time to get in touch with me to learn more. However, to be fair to those interested in the program, I can only offer it to one group, per area, per year. So I urge you to get in touch with me as soon as possible. Thank you and have a great day! ]]>

<![CDATA[Seeking Anyone who is kind enough to donate a turkey, ham, food gift basket or the funds to purchase these items for a Thanksgiving Raffle at a Fund raiser for a local woman who is suffering with 3 chronic illnesses & No medical insurance. We're also looking for vendors who would be willing to donate any supplies for this event paper cups, plates, napkins, soda or juice, pizzas, hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, ketchup, mustard, relish, cakes, cupcakes, raffle tickets, anything you can offer will help. This will take place in Taylor @ 1 of the local VFW, Kof C or American Legion Halls it will be on Sunday Nov 2nd, 2008 from noon-5pm. We are still working out the details, but once everything has been finalized we'll be posting the flyer @ all local businesses, on Myspace, in the Observer & Heritage Newspapers, as well as on craigslist thanking all who donated their time and special talents to help this poor woman. It will be set up as a Family day out to help someone in need. With a variety of food & events for everyone. We'll also be selling hot dogs, hamburgers,pizza, chips, soda, juice, cookies, cupcakes & cake and their will be face painting, carciturist and psychic services for a fee for everyone to enjoy with the funds going to benefit her medical. We will also have karaoke for you to enjoy for the day. I know there are many people out here with no medical insurance, but until you get severely ill you don’t realize how bad not having any is. She suffers with the reality of making the decision between her medications and eating. She’s suffering with a debilitating bone disease; Ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis of the spine) can be a very painful & debilitating problem that often affects individuals 40 or older. If left untreated, it can lead to physiological problems such as muscle breakdown or weakness, as well as psychological problems such as anxiety & depression. Sometimes, a person with arthritis of the spine can suddenly suffer excruciating pain that will keep him or her bedridden & unable to perform normal daily activities. She’s also suffers with Crohn’s Disease this disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, that causes swelling in the intestines. She needs to make sure she stays on her medication for this disease due to the complications that can occur if she doesn’t. Complications associated with Crohn’s disease include arthritis, skin problems, inflammation in the eyes or mouth, kidney stones, gallstones, or other diseases of the liver and biliary system. Some of these problems resolve during treatment for disease in the digestive system, but some must be treated separately. She has just recently found out she has Heart Disease this is the #1 reason for death in women today. This is why it’s so very important for us to help her get what she needs. I know everyone out here is having a hard time right now, but if you think you can help in anyway please, please open your ♥. Thank you & I hope I did not offend you in anyway. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/helping_us_help_her" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/helping_us_help_her</a> ]]>

<![CDATA[ 586-737-7231 I lost my son to SIDS. He was 40 days old. I am involved in raising money for SIDS to find a cure. We are looking for donations. By donations we are looking for items that can be donated to use in a silent auction. The items can be hand made. If you can help please contact me at heavensentmeboys13@yahoo.com Susan ~~~~ If you have lost a baby to SIDS also feel free to contact me. We have a support group. ~~~ Thank you for your time. Bellow is the letter I pass out... Dear Friend, I am writing to you today to tell you my story. On April 18, 2005, a beautiful baby boy named Evan Michael came into the world. Shortly after his birth and meeting his parents for the first time, he rolled over to his side on his own, got comfy and promptly fell asleep. Evan was a strong, happy and healthy boy. A joy to his parents and his older brother, Alex. On the morning of May 28, 2005, Evan’s mother put him back to sleep after a midnight cry at 4:30 a.m. At 9:00 that same morning, Evan’s mother awoke to find him cold and blue. The paramedics, doctors and nurses did everything they could but they couldn’t bring Evan back. On June 2, 2005, after forty very short days on Earth, Evan was buried in a special part of Resurrection Cemetery called Baby Land. Evan was our son and we lost him to SIDS. Since Evan’s death, 23 other babies have been laid to rest in Baby Land because people do not know the risks in laying their children to sleep at night. There are a lot of people who do not know what SIDS or think that it doesn’t happen in these modern times. Getting people to learn about SIDS has become our mission. We raise money throughout the year and in September we have a SIDS Memory Walk and present checks in our children’s names. We also have a silent auction to raise money for the items that have been donated to us over the last year at our Bowling Fudraiser in May. That is why I am asking for your help. Someone of your stature could help in so many ways by donating items to auction, donating items for goodie bags. Donating your returnable cans, used or broken cell phones, used purses, gift certificates, writing letters or even making personal appearances. If you are willing and able to help us please contact us and we will pick anything us you are willing to donate :E-mail at ~~~~ heavensentmboys13@yahoo.com~~~ Thank you so much for your time. Sincerely, Michael and Suzann We have a tax identification number ]]>

We suffer from a lack of trust, a lack of communication, a lack of understanding of ourselves as global citizens. Too many of us do not feel included as part of our community. Another World Is Possible We’ve seen glimpses when people ask questions when people find connections when people self-organize even within the most broken situations in the stories of those before us in unconditional love in those who maintain hope in the worst of circumstances When change is demonstrated, it provides hope for more change. We Are the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For We have resources Music (has the power to transport us) Food (builds community) Communication (is possible) Compliments (make the world go round) Conflicts (can be solved nonviolently) Service (to something larger than ourselves) Acceptance (of each other as whole people) Love (is the antidote to fear) One person can make a difference. We Must Be The Change We Wish To See Our response to the broken world is to seek connections with others stand up against injustice create peace within and around ourselves live consciously conserve resources question authority listen lead by example encourage people keep an open mind lift ourselves up even after we collapse We seek to embody a more peaceful world in our daily actions. Everyone Matters We need to be nurtured: with love with humor with honesty with dialogue with inspiration with compassion with time to get rest with a space to dream with room to make mistakes with possibilities to innovate wildly We build a better world by supporting one another to be better people. fightwithtools]]>

The main objective is to educate the children in universal values, good habits and realize pedagogic activities (games and activities to promote the interaction with the children). In this frame, a group of international volunteers is invited to share this work and to interact with the teachers and the children of the institution. Volunteers will help in different activities, support the teachers in the daily activities, play with the children, help in the English classes and participate in the preparation of the materials, communal activities as well as some maintenance activities for the building and clearing campaigns. Language: The permanent volunteers, teachers and management speak little English. For this reason, an intermediate level of Spanish is highly recommended. Age range: 18 and over For more info check out: <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-peru.htm" rel="nofollow">www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-peru.htm</a> or give us a call: 604-628-7400 This project is part of CADIP's International Volunteer Program: <a href="http://www.cadip.org" rel="nofollow">www.cadip.org </a> ]]>

The Western Ghats is India's prime zone for bio-diversity, known for its number of animal and plant species in this region. A Marine Turtle protection project has been started here in co-operation with the Forest Department of the State of Karnataka. Over a 60-kilometer stretch of beach, surveys have been conducted and protection of the turtle nests has taken place until the hatching of the eggs. In 2005, more than 500 baby turtles reached the ocean safely thanks to the effort of international volunteers. The workcamps will also focus on spreading awareness to the general public and to the schools about the importance of turtles in the bio-diversity.
