For us, it marks the season of the Registry's annual Phantom Tea!
2010 is the 16th year that we have held this fundraiser, if you can believe it! I think that the thing that makes this fundraiser such a great success is the fact that it is simply so stinkin' easy! It isn't like, say, a gala, where you have to buy a dress or rent a tux or arrange for a taxi and a babysitter, all of which costs a pretty penny. And those pretty pennies don't actually go to helping the organization!
For those who don't know, the beauty of the Phantom Tea is that you don't actually have to DO anything, other than make a donation, in order to attend the event! We do invite you to enjoy a cup of tea on December 5th in honor of the individuals with chromosome 18 conditions and their families. But, if you're too busy or forget or simply don't like tea, we're just as happy with a simple donation!
Are you interested in participating? Head over here to read our invitation and follow the link to the donation page!
Are you interested in inviting others to participate? Even better!! There are a few ways to do that! You can...
1. Send them to the Registry homepage, where they can follow the links to the donation page.
2. Copy and paste the invitation into the body of an email and link to the donation page.
3. Contact the Registry office and request invitations to send to your friends and families
4. Invite your friends via Facebook! We have a page set up, and once you've RSVP'd, you can let your friends know about the event by inviting them to "attend" as well!
As for me, I'm already set for December 5th. I'm looking forward to enjoying a cup of hot raspberry tea...Mmmmm.
The big question I'm having is which teacup to use. You see, I collect teacups. I get one whenever I travel. I'm thinking that, in honor of the Phantom Tea, I'm going to bust out the fancy cups from St. Petersburg, Russia...
Now the main question is which cup! Or maybe I should just drink four cups of tea!
