Desultory Thoughts

A family that I have the pleasure of home teaching went to Burbank, CA for a taping of “The Price Is Right” and Taralyn was “called on down”!

I compiled the highlights of her game into a 7 minute video for those of you who may have missed it. Enjoy!

Want a heckuva deal for an all day lift ticket at Brighton Resort this Saturday? Donate $25 to “Ski for Gold” (a Ski-a-thon for Special Olympics Utah athletes) before midnight on December 8th. Print out your receipt and bring it up for a free lift ticket the day of Saturday, December 9th.

Want to make a difference without freezing your butt off in 44 inches of freezing snow? Donate whatever you will and have a good feeling in your heart this holiday season.

My goal is to raise $600 for Special Olympics Utah. I’m about 1/3 of the way there, but I’m determined to make it this year. (Last year I fell a little short.) I used to work at Special Olympics Utah so I know first hand how great a program it is. Special Olympics empowers individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically fit, productive and respected members of society through sports training and competition. It really is a worthy organization of your support.
If you’d rather donate your time instead of your money, I’m all about that, too! Visit the Special Olympics Utah website and get involved as a volunteer. All volunteers watch a General Orientation video, so when you watch it think of me. I filmed it (hours and hours of footage) and edited it.
