Hello everybody! I did a video for the Pamper Yourself for a Year draw that we are running with our sevice club the Kin Club of Woolwich.
The early bird draw is happening on Dec 22, 2012 at the Central in Elmira. The prize for the early bird draw is 52 $25 gift certificates for anywhere of your choosing. The main draw is taking place on March 10, 2012 and the grand prize for that draw will be 52 $50 gift certificates for anywhere of your choosing.
There will also be many other smaller gift certificate prizes to be won.
Net proceeds for the draw will go to the Womwns Crisis Services of Waterloo Region, various sports teams, educational and community projects in the Waterloo Region.
There will be 5000 tickets sold.
Tickets are only $20.
The very best part about this draw is that I will drop off the tickets to you. I know the holidays are upon us so I want to make this as simple as possible for anyone who might like to buy a ticket.
Thank you very much for supporting these great causes!!!
Have a terrific day!
Thanks for reading!

One of my favourite things to do is go to the St Jacobs Farmers Market. I like to go there on the weekend. They are open 7:00am-3:30pm Thursday and Saturday. The St Jacobs Farmers market website is http://www.stjacobs.com/html/shopping-farmersmarkets.html
Check out this video I did about the market and surrounding shops and stores:
Today Mel and I decided to go for a little drive. We went over to West Montrose to take a look at the covered bridge in the Winter time. The bridge was built in 1881 and is the second oldest bridge in the region.
Elmira native and best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell(Wikipedia) is coming home for a pair of fundraisers to support the Woolwich Councelling Centre . WCC an agency that serves the Woolwich, Wellesley and surrounding areas.
The following information about Malcolm Gladwell is from his blog.
I’m a writer for the New Yorker magazine, and the author of two books, “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Big Difference” and “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.” I was born in England, and raised in southwestern Ontario in Canada. Now I live in New York City.
My great claim to fame is that I’m from the town where they invented the BlackBerry. My family also believes (with some justification) that we are distantly related to Colin Powell. I invite you to look closely at the photograph above and draw your own conclusions.
Here are some of the books that he has written:
What the Dog Saw
Outliers
Blink
Tipping Point
I will be attending the event at Floradale Mennonite Church with Melanie and some friends. This should be a terrific evening and I am really looking forward to it.
