I hope this goes by all the rules, and is in the right section...
The Mustard Seed, for those who don’t know about them started as a place that offered meals and spiritual counsel and comfort, and has grown to provide a range of food, shelter and clothing needs. Their non-profit and run almost from what I understand on all volunteers. www.thesead.ca I've personally volunteered there and it makes you open your eyes for sure.
Whats happening is their in need for a new deep freezer to store food, the old one is cutting out and spoiling the food. $25 large is what i understand from my sister is what they need, but could be more.
**EDIT** No long at Crowfoot, McLode(sp?) and 90th somewhere im the south....
April 28@6 there will be a fundraiser, with all ticket sales ($10 each) going to the mustard seed. Lots of cool stuff will be going on along side the awesome atmosphere of Shanks, there will be door prizes, draws, games, and prob lots of drinking....also there’s gona be a Silent auction for autographed flames gear and other cool stuff. I'll be going to Wednesdays game with 4x6 pictures, banners and other flames stuff to get autographed by the players to auction off (the old fashioned way by standing at the gate where they park) hopefully It'll add to what my sisters group has got so far from them. hopefully there will be a playoff game *** knock on wood ***and that will get a huge crowd that’s already going to be there.
Cool thing is, whatever raised at Shanks, will be matched by the crew at the mustard seed, and other business that will help out. Pretty good chance to come close to $25,000!
Now I’m trying to pump this up so people can buy tickets and check it out, or even if they cant, just a simple donation. Any idea on how i can go around doing....any help would be appreciated, as I think this is a pretty worthy cause!
Thanks a lot beyond.ca and all its members.
