Amazing Opportunity for Local Readers

I mentioned last week that I had a little surprise I was working on for you guys and I am happy to finally have it all figured out to announce to you.  I just love surprises!

OK, so when I saw that Disney’s promotion for this year was that you could volunteer and get a FREE ticket to Disney I was so excited.  I immediately contacted FLOOD here in Bakersfield to try and work something out for my readers and we have arranged a pretty sweet deal.

On Wednesday, February 17th at 12:00noon, 25 readers will be able to meet at FLOOD’s warehouse, armed with a MINIMUM of 5 items from their donation list, to help pack the bags that they distribute at their weekly gatherings for about an hour.  After doing this, we will receive the info from Disney on receiving our free ticket.  You can go to the Disney site HERE to learn more about the program and all the requirements.

FLOOD has been very gracious to arrange this is such a way as to give my readers the first chance at this opportunity.  Here is how it will work:

~~ Up to 50 people will be able to register with me, through the form below, with their name and email address.

~~ Just before FLOOD posts the opportunity on the Disney website, those 50 people will get emails letting them know.

~~ The first 25 people that register on the Disney website will get the spots.

A few things to note:

Children are eligible to participate as long as they are 8 or older.  Make sure they are registered as well.

Other children are not permitted to come to FLOOD as we will be working in a warehouse and there will be no supervision. 

The limit is 25 people so once those spots are full, the registration will be closed. 

The list of items to bring to donate are as listed below.  These are a general guideline.  Items similar to these guidelines will be fine.

Food Items:

Boxed Crackers
Chili (pop top)
Boxed Cereal Bars
Canned Fruit (pop-top)

**I have posted this early so that we can begin stocking up on donation items now and totally overwhelm them with how much we are able to donate.  I will be posting notes next to products that are great for donating when I come across them. 

You must fill out the form once for each person including any children over 8.
