Wow, is it cold. Brrrrr!!!!!! 22 degrees this morning. My office is freezing!!!! send blankets.

Is anyone out there? I would love to know if anyone actually reads this blog EVER or if I am just wasting my time so send comments.

Clynk

Just a quickie. I wanted to let everyone know that I have signed Special Olympics Maine up for Clynk! Yay! Not familiar? Well, Clynk is a bottle/can recycling system that is in many HAnnaford stores and other locations. They have special green bags that have stickers on them with a barcode. You just fill it up and drop it off at any Clynk or here at the office and that's it. You don't even wait for them to count it. You just leave it. They scan the barcode and we get the money. If you like recycling and like helping a great cause this is perfect. I have bags here in the office that you can pick up or if you want some I can send them out. You could put them in your work place or use them during a family gathering. Let me know if you want one. Thanks so much!!!!!

In honor of our recent Halloween holiday I thought you might enjoy this photo of 4 of our dedicated members of Law Enforcement at our Victory dance!

Vote! Vote! Vote!

Today is the day! Historic vote in progress. Very exciting. Our lines were not bad at all so get out there and be heard.


Speaking of being heard...you should hear the latest A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS CD. All proceeds go to Special Olympics Worldwide. The album series was started 21 years ago and each cd includes various well known artists. You can get one at Target or Borders or on Amazon and several other locations.

Lobster Dip is fast approaching. Visit our website now to sign up and start getting your pledges. This is such a "cool" event. Think now about what your New years resolutions are going to be. You will probably want to give more to charity...(Special O. Maine), you will probably want to do something unforgetable...(jumping in the ocean on January 1st), maybe you want to visit the beach more...(Old orchard Beach in front of the Brunswick Hotel) and get more exercise...(like running down the beach, jumping in to the ocean, swimming, running out even faster than you ran in, and shivering for a good 30 minutes.) I think this is really a win, win event so sign up now. www.specialolympicsmaine.org or call us at 207-879-0489. All are welcome. Teams, individuals etc. Costumes encouraged!

Time for Holidat shopping. Visit Charityblast.com for all of your online shopping. Type in Special O Maine as your charity of choice and then shop from all of the stores you would regularly shop at. You will even get some discounts and we will receive donations and it's no extra cost to you. You can't beat it.

That's it for today. Vote, vote, vote!!!!!!
