Help for Haiti

You probably already know today is Martin Luther King Day (because school’s out, yay!) It’s also the King Day of Service, a great time to do something good for our world. I read that Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: what are you doing for others?”

  2. 2. Send a Friend Request by clicking the (+) from a person’s profile page or search results. They don’t have to respond by the deadline for you to be eligible, you just have to send the Friend Request.
     
  3. 3. Tell us you sent the request. Make sure you are signed in, then click the “Have Code” link at the bottom of any page, and enter “DreamFriendsForever” (all one word, no quotation marks).

Ahh, The Fine Print.

We will attempt to notify the winners at the provided email address. If we do not hear back by the 16th of December, there is a great chance your signed copy of Birdie’s Book will not arrive in time for Christmas. If you live outside the continental US there is an excellent chance it will not arrive for Christmas even if you do respond immediately. You do not increase your chances by friend requesting multiple people, but if you find a few more than one you’d like to friend, feel free to do so. You have to be a member of the Academy to send Friend Requests, but you do not have to be enrolled. To be “joined”, or to be “enrolled” (the next level up that allows social network access) is free, but enrollment instructions are only sent to members under 13 years of age.

You can of course also Buy Birdie’s Book for the tween girl in your life!

Gifts That Give Back

OK, now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m ready to stop thinking about food (at least for a little while) and start thinking about gifts. I always put off getting presents until the last minute, but this year I’m going to start early! (Does November 30th still count as early??)

And since I’m a part of the Arbor Lineage, I want my presents to help the green world…or at least not harm it!! So I’m going to give to green charities and make my own gifts this year. Continue reading
