Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, and with its arrival here in the US, I am reminded about the many weeks of great charity that many of you helped drive forward last holiday season. While I was fortunate to be first of several over many successive weeks, I want to get the ball rolling again. For a refresher of last year’s effort that so many of you got behind when I threw out the challenge, please click the thread below:
Since last year, we have seen the good fortune of Laura’s House, the charity that my wife are connected to here locally, we have seen it continue to grow and flourish, to help those fleeing violence find a safe place to go, take refuge, find safety and begin to try and heal. Even our Brig Campbell, who is also a board member, has made an ongoing weekly commitment to the charity through his time and energy. For him, we are thankful, and to so many of you that did and continue to help Laura’s House.
So to that end, this Thanksgiving week that is coming up, which is Monday the 24th through Sunday the 30th, I will once again make a donation to Laura’s House for every tasting note that is posted to this thread during this 7 day period. I want to encourage even more TN activity this year, so I wish to do $5 per note posted here, and the wine needs to be Pinot Noir. Because we have many folks here who enjoy Burgundy, and yet may not drink CA, I will make it both sides of the ocean, but it must be Pinot Noir. And, if you are willing to post a photo of you and your wine, giving me a Thumbs Up, I will make the donation $10.
Finally, to encourage some additional support to Laura’s House, I challenge all of you to not only post your note, to trigger my donation, but also decide if you can make your own donation, of any amount to the charity. If you click their link here, you can read about what they do, make an online donation. If you do make one, flag in the comment you’re part of the Berserker community, so they can see that support. For ease, here is their website link: http://www.laurashouse.org/
So, as we wait for the arrival of Thanksgiving week, in adavance, thank you for spending some time here with my thread, and hearing the request. I look forward to seeing your TN(s), and writing a check to Laura’s House after Thanksgiving.
