2007-12-12: bid, bud!

Menu For Hope is going nicely - already the tally is around $12,000. But we have a way to go if we want to beat last year's total, so keep on buying tickets and promoting the campaign on your blogs, please!

Pim has posted some incredible photographs taken of daily life by children, teachers, and farmers participating in the program in Lesotho.

As a Host for Menu for Hope 4, my goal is to promote the Canada-based prizes as much as I can. I am not doing my job properly if any of those prizes have absolutely no bids. No bids you say? Yes, no bids. Prizes so wonderful I'm shocked people were willing to part with them without any bidders thus far. The odds are good that one of these could be yours for just a scanty ten dollars...your chances of winning are fantastic!

CA02 - Homemade Treats!
Who wouldn't want to bid on this prize?
Tara
is offering up a coveted spot on her Holiday gift list. This prize could be yours for only $10 - and you will be the very lucky recipient of a box of homemade goodies, baked especially for you!

CA06 - A Beautiful Handmade, One-of-a-Kind Apron
Come on, you know you need a new apron - so stop putting it off.
Elizabeth's
gorgeous hand-sewn, one-of-a-kind butcher's-style apron can be yours for a meager bid of $10. This unique apron is constructed of 100% medium weight cotton with dark blue elephants, camels and leopards marching across a turquoise field.

And with only one bid so far are three other amazing prizes:

CA03 - The Tastes of Toronto
Don't you want to experience the many Tastes of Toronto?
Sheryl's
prize package of Toronto-based gift certificates would be a great gift package for someone visiting from out of town or a way to rediscover some great restaurants, foodstuffs and magazines.

CA04 - One Year's Subscription to Canadian Living Magazine

Jen's
generous donation of a one year subscription to Canadian Living Magazine is available to be shipped internationally and is a fantastic prize. Just think, a whole year of glossy pages full of recipes, tips and gorgeous photography. All this for a paltry $10!

CA08 - Teak Tray with Gourmet Olive Oils & Vinegars
This one really surprises me - how can you not bid on this? Nine bottles of gourmet olive oil and vinegars all packaged in a gorgeous teak tray. The perfect thing to give away or something to keep for yourself as a treat after the holidays have calmed down.


So? What are you waiting for? Go! Bid!
