I hope to be able to come to this! Question: how exactly does the weekend raise money for charity?
Also-- what will the space at the community centre be like? How many people to a table? Do most people scrap or stamp?
Great question -- there are a few ways in which we raise money for charity during the weekend #1. We have sponsors who have donated prises that we will raffle off during the course of the weekend....the money will go directly to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. #2. Any extra $ that we have left over from the weekend once our expenses for putting on the event have been sorted will added onto our donation total. #3. Some people just give a straight donation to the Heart and Stroke
We have a lg room of over 2500+ you will have a 6 ft x 2 ft table to share with one other person. We have them set up so that the other person sits staggered across from you. Beside you will be an extra chair for your bag... I hope that helps give you an idea. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask......
I forgot to answer part of your question -- there will be a mix of stampers and scrappers.... Last time there were more people making cards BUT who knows this year... I will be scrapping and Christine will be stamping....
Just subscribing for now, too much else to think of right now! My brain can only deal with so much at a time and it all depends on when I go to the UK in the fall!
I was scared for a minute when I saw the dates......I am going to Vegas on the 22nd to the 26th......PHEW!!!!!!!!!!! Let me know if you need me to do ANYTHING!!!! I don't mind helping out!
Great idea, Adelee, to also create a way to add to the weekend's significance by adding to a worthy and reputable cause, such as the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Good for you!

The Heart and Stroke was our charity last year too... we have decided to stick with the same cause for our event --just highlight it more.
Adelee,
I've been stalking the site, and waiting to talk to Chris to make sure she wasn't gonna be in Vegas on those dates. Jump for joy, she's gonna be in town! Can you sign me up also? Can hardly wait.
Lorinna
I am so glad so many have found your way here already. We are thrilled to have you come - yey!!
For all those that don't know yet.... we would love to have you join us so hopefully it works out.
BTW - last year we earned over $400 for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. We are shooting for more this year!!! This is a cause very near and dear to my heart. I have lost my father, and both sets of grandparents to heart and stroke problems.
Watch threads 3-6 for more details to come, not only on swaps, but other details and surprises
