I'm Going to Do a Giveaway .....

.....  by copying a wonderful idea that Snick put on her blog.

I'm going to give away a registration to Camp Widow (a $375 value) August 10th-12th!!!!

Here's what Registration covers:

*Access to all of the programming and workshops on Friday and Saturday

*1 ticket to the Friday night Welcome Reception

*1 ticket to our Soaring Spirits semi-formal Award Banquet Saturday night (which includes a 3 course dinner, photo booth, cash bar and lots of dancing (NOT slow dancing!)

*Saturday's Keynote address

*access to our bookstore

*the chance to participate in our Fourth Annual Widow Dash 5K

*1 ticket to our farewell breakfast buffet on Sunday morning

Here's what it does NOT include:

*hotel accommodations -- while your room is not included we do have a group rate of $209 per night at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina (and for those who'd be interested we do have a list of people who are willing to share a room to help cut down the cost).

*other meals not listed above

*I'm also not including your swim suit or party dress ..... sorry, but I do have to draw the line somewhere! :)

For any other information please go to www.CampWidow.org.

You'll find details about the hotel, the schedule and the workshops.

If you've never been to Camp Widow please feel free to ask all kinds of questions here.  I've been to all of them and the experience is SO much fun!!  Many of the readers of this blog have been there, too, so I'm sure we could answer any questions or concerns you might have.

So, if you'd like to come this year .... and you DO meet the one requirement .... you're widowed (Duh!) ..... then please jump in here and try to win.

To enter please leave a comment that includes one of our quotes:  Death Sucks! .... Widows Rock! ..... or

"Hope Matters".

I'm putting this on my other blog, too and will combine all of the comments before choosing one at random.

I am going to draw a winner at midnight on Friday.  That's midnight, CENTRAL TIME, on Friday, August July 20th (Thanks, Mollie).

Or technically ..... it would be Saturday, August July 21st (ditto).  If I wait until 12:01 a.m.  Which I might, just to give you one more minute to get this done.

I have indeed decided to give you all more time to check your schedules and make sure you can come, and THEN leave a comment so that you might win this highly coveted prize!!!  OK, I don't know if it's highly coveted, but I just hope it gives one of you a chance to come when you might not have if not given said prize.

I haven't decided for certain when I will close the drawing ..... but I'm thinking some time on Tuesday.
So start scrambling.  Check those flight schedules, check those road maps, make sure your oil is changed and plan to get your butt to Camp Widow.  Oh, and don't forget to make a hotel reservation (roomies still available).  I'll take care of the rest.

Tell all the widowed people you know .... unless you don't want to because that will decrease your chance of winning.  It's ok .... be that selfish.  We won't think any less of you as a person (NOT!).

I can't wait to pick one of you .... this is SO exciting!!!!

Only one comment/entry per person please.

Now start commenting!!!
