Yes, you read that subject line right.  We’ve reached the magic number!

500 times since November, 2002, you’ve heard a little bell ring, and found the Scribbles newsletter in your email inbox – absolutely free.

What would you say the combination of Literary Celebrations, Information, Events, and Calls for Submissions was worth to you, per issue?  A penny?  A nickel? Maybe a dime or a quarter?  Dare I hope – a dollar?

I ask for a very good reason. 

One time a year, I ask that you return a little of the good karma Scribbles has brought into your life in a tangible way.  Not by sending money to me, but by making a modest donation to a cause near and dear to your faithful Scribbler – the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk for a Cure.

The disease took my father and my brother.  Help us find a cure, so other families don’t have to suffer like that.

Please click here to go to my personal walk page, and join our walk team, Robert’s Racers, or make a donation. 

You’ll see that I’ve kicked things off with my own donation of $100.  So think back to my earlier question.  If each Scribbles was worth a penny to you, please donate $5 to help cure diabetes.  If it was worth a nickel, dime, or quarter to you, that’s $25, $50, or $125.  And if you’d pay a $1 each time you’ve enjoyed Scribbles, that’s an incredible $500 donation. 

Don’t have extra cash lying around?  Then consider joining our walk team, and asking 10 friends for a $10 donation.  We’ll take a nice walk around the UCF campus at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 5^th, and you’re guaranteed to feel fabulous afterward.  Don’t make me come get you!

Any help you can give is sincerely appreciated by JDRF &

Your Scribbler,

Darlyn Finch
