Awesome!
So will it be room 217 or room 237?
We thought 217 was the special one so I will see what is available.
However, if staying in there means we'll all be stuffed into one bed or something...we may not be able to pull if off.
We plan to film the giveaway videos on the grounds, lobby, hallways...that kind of thing.

217 in the novel
237 in the film
...and you know y'all would totally share the bed.
Really this sounds great.
217 for sure then!!

I have to get totally warm and fuzzy here for a minute. I received a box back from Glen Chadbourne today and I'm going to post pics of his seriously generous contribution to our fund raiser.
However, that's not what this is about. It's about the idea that we have come together to raise money for Freelance Artists and it is those very Artists that have overwhelming come out to support the cause. The craft obviously creates a deep and giving community.
I would like to convey my deepest gratitude for all the Artists that have come out in support of our fund raiser this year, we all owe them an even stronger conviction towards the cause.

We're pretty excited about it for sure. I've never been there.
We are in the home stretch now you guys. If you have not donated to the fund raiser already, please consider doing so. It's a win/win situation for everyone involved.
If you have already donated, please consider doing so again.

If we were to include all the money in the pipeline right now, our Haven Fundraiser would be at about $4500.00
So very close to our goal, what an amazing turn out this year.

I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is my daughter Dawn and Sweet Lily grand baby are coming to visit us for our middle daughters graduation from HS. We're all so excited to see them we could just bust!
The bad news is because they are coming, we will not be able to spend Giveaway Weekend at The Stanley up at Estes Park. So the filming of the giveaway will not be there (this year)
However, Aaron and Hannah are going to drive over to visit us and we have a really amazing plan for the giveaway videos. Plus the obligatory drunken party to be webcast to whomever is interested.
This will all be the weekend of May 16th so just over a month away.
And I'm hoping we can all remember that the genesis of our Fund Raiser is to celebrate this site's anniversary every year. On Wednesday, May 19th--we will have officially been in operation for 2 years.

Bummer about having to delay The Stanley Hotel adventure, but the positives on the family side far outweigh it.

We really did have a great time last year, and it's a perfect way to get everyone together and celebrate the site's anniversary.
Which is actually the 19th.

Another announcement:
I am going to leave the text above the donation bar that says..."Ends May 19th 2009"
Even though it officially ends a few days earlier, the site celebration for the fundraiser and our anniversary will easily carry through the next week.

This was a comment from Ms. Mod over at the SKMB in the pinned thread dedicated to our fund raiser.
On behalf of The Haven Foundation, many many thanks to Matticus and all who have donated so far to help provide grants for those in need.
