Hot Chocolate

Fri 12 Nov 2021 - Filed under: Not a Journal., , | Posted by: Gavin

Me & our kid have just signed up again for the annual Hot Chocolate Run Walk fundraiser for Safe Passage. Is it true we only walk a couple of miles on a cold December morning so that we will get a mug of hot chocolate. No? No! We raises the money for the programs and we get hot chocolate. Win? Win!

We’ve been doing this fundraiser for the last few years — except 2020, which must have been virtual. I can barely remember although I just checked and Ursula raised $585 which is fantastic. Thanks to everyone who donated for that. Ursula has turned into a powerhouse fundraiser over the years — I am so glad she is older and I do not have to carry her part of the way anymore. Little does she know that soon she’ll have to carry me.

Anyway, back to posts about books and supple chains (pretty sure that’s what’s all over the news), and thanks again for support in the past and any and all donations for Safe Passage are welcome, thank you!


Fundraiser this weekend

Wed 3 Jul 2019 - Filed under: Not a Journal., , , | Posted by: Gavin

This July 4th weekend I hope you will join us in celebrating and supporting Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) as part of the #BookstoresAgainstBorders campaign. We are pledging a donation of 10% of gross sales from July 5 – 7th from sales of books and zines (including subscriptions) from our website.

If you can, please donate (anything from $5 or $500 or more!) directly here — every little bit helps me reach my goal.

Thank you for your support of this fundraiser and your action to help those desperately in need.
