Help Adoptee Rights Buy the Booth

 From the Adoptee Rights Coalition:

The NCSL Legislative Summit is Aug. 6-9, 2012 in Chicago, IL. In order to have access to the state legislators, we have to purchase an exhibit booth in the main exhibit hall during the conference. We are vying for attention against the huge lobby groups who have giant displays, custom swag to giveaway and are funded by major interest groups. We are, without a doubt, the underdogs of the NCSL fighting against the big corporations. There is no getting around the cost of the booth. 

Please help the ARC BUY THE BOOTH!

 This year the booth is $1,795 and NCSL exhibit hall want their money right away. Minimum 50% down ($897.50) by March 16 or 100% payable after. They’re already assigning booths, but there are a few good ones left at the moment. The better the booth location, the more attention we can bring to the need for new Adoptee Rights legislation, so time is of the essence!

Thank You for Playing Along: New Logo

Thank you to all who gave suggestions on my blog banner/logo/branding. I am going to award  one book to two separate winners. I will release their names after I have told them and they agree to allow me to do so. I am also eternally grateful to Laurel for clarifying her comment and assuring me that I do not remind her of pastels, bunnies, flowers and unicorns. The very idea makes me shudder.

In the meantime, I will offer that the books I am sending to my winners are as follows:

  1. Second-Chance Mother by Denise Roessle; and
  2. Becoming Patrick: A Memoir by Patrick McMahon

I read Becoming Patrick : A Memoir yesterday and will review it in my next post.

Thank you to all who participated and offered up their suggestions.  It is going to be a few weeks before I roll out a new design as it is my desire to combine a few sites of mine into one style sheet. Quite a bit of testing and content consolidation is required to complete this task.
