Sunday Giant Snail Race

Don't forget to come out and support Daaneth in the Giant Snail Race on Sunday at noon SLT. I'll be "racing", too, but I have slow internet, so don't expect too much! At any rate, RacerX has promised to get me to the finish if I fall into a dark hole!

You can still grab a snail and race!

With Love,
Your Sabine

Sabine sadly crashed, and was unable to finish the race - but with a bit of luck, I managed to squeak in a third place finish!

Daaneth DJing at Club Cutlass



Last Friday, March 18th I had my SL DJing Debut at our "Spies and Private Eyes" themed event at Club Cutlass. Thankfully, despite the fact that I had a heck of a time getting my Gramophone hooked up the the Internets, I think I did pretty well. Thanks to the generosity of all who attended, we raised over 3500L. I would also like to thank Jenni Pintens and Rita Mariner for giving me the opportunity to host this event.

GO RELAY! GO REDHEADS!

Our Fifth Year!

On March 12, 2010,  The Passionate Redheads kicked off their fifth year together! I am so proud to be a part of this beautiful Relay for Life Team. 

This season, our Team has been hosting a Round Table Discussion for Relayers from all teams.  It's been a huge success, attracting  those who are new to Relay and those who have been around for a long time.  This is a longtime dream of mine to see the teams reaching out to one another in the true Spirit of Relay.  If you have not attended, we invite you to drop in at Hope Gardens, Southern Colorado (162, 42, 25)Tuesdays at 4:30 SLT.

With Love
Sabine

Happy Valentine's Day!

The Passionate Redheads are ready to Relay! Events begin March 16, and we have some big plans!

I love this team and its passion.  There is no other team anything like ours in all of Relay for Life!  We are beginning our FIFTH season; 85 members have stayed with us year after year.  No other team can make this claim.

With all my HEART, I offer each of you my gratitude and admiration for all you've done. It's humbling to see so many people working together for a common cause.  We get tired, we get crabby, but we carry on, and we do an AMAZING job every year! 

If we just remember to always take care of each other, the money will always take care of itself.  It's worked for us every year!

I'm so very proud to be a part of this Passionate Team!

Go REDHEADS!

Yours with Love and Gratitude,
Sabine

Trick or Treat for SpUnKy

Wow! I am still recovering from this fantastic event, which was held in the Enchanted Forest in the Southern Colorado sim this past Saturday. SpUnKy Young is a cancer survivor who has given so much of herself, despite her health problems. A few months ago, her laptop computer was damaged beyond repair while she was in the hospital. The laptop is her lifeline, since she is housebound.

I was honored when approached by Trader1 Whiplash; he asked if I could organize a fundraiser to help this wonderful young lady out. Thus was born Trick or Treat for SpUnKy - a 12 hour festival of music and fun!  The goal was to raise 250,000L for a new laptop and medical bills.
"Trick or Treat for SpUnKy" was co-sponsored by three Relay for Life teams: The Passionate Redheads, The Relay Wizards (SpUnKy's Team) and the Relay Rockers, as well as T-1 Radio (which provided the stream), and The Kingdom of Avalon.

We were delighted with the HUGE outpouring of support for SpUnKy: the kindness of our performers, all of whom donated their time; Bernice Kappler and Marilyn Whitfield, who donated items to be sold at the show; and the many generous people who attended the Event and dug deep into their pockets to make it possible for us to give SpUnKy a treat this Halloween.

The result? We raised 358,400L - about 1,375USD!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

We would also like to thank:
Shawna Montgomery for hosting parallel events with the Kingdome of Avalon; Woody Burliegh, who brought over some good friends to perform at the event; Skylark Lefavre for serving as a gracious Hostess; and Shockwave Yareach for scripting a very cool "Donations Thermometer" to help us visualize our goal.

A special thank you to Sabine McGettigan for transforming Southern Colorado into "Spooky Hollow" for the event, and especially for her unflagging support of All Things Fundraiser.


The calm before the storm...a great looking outdoor stage!
