Donation Request

Hello! I have a different purpose for my blog today. As most of you know, I live on a remote island in Alaska, called Kodiak. We have VERY limited shopping choices here, especially when it comes to Disney products. There isn't even a Disney Store anywhere in Alaska! And as you can imagine, shipping charges are pretty expensive. So here's where my request comes in.

Every year for the last 31 years, the Kodiak Coast Guard Spouses Association has had an event called the Stiles-Clark Auction. We use the money raised for numerous local charities, as well as to fully fund our Santa to the Villages Program,


Santa to the Villages is 40 year old program where the Coast Guard delivers gifts, fruit, and knitted goods to children who live in the remote villages of Kodiak. The gifts are delivered both by ship and by helicopter by active duty Coasties dressed up as Santa and elves. I was lucky enough to be an elf last year and visited our local elementary school with Santa to deliver candy canes. It's a fun, unique and important program.

So here's where I need your help. I would love to have some "Twitter Baskets" for the Silent Auction and have it filled with Disney items. If you have a travel agency or business you want to plug, you can include your business card. If you want to just donate a Vinylmation, I'll consolidate everything into 1 basket with your twitter handle on the basket for credit. I will take photos of the final products and put it on twitter for everyone to see. The auction is on Oct 5th, so we have time to buy the presents for the kids.

Here are some links about the program, including Facebook pages and a link to the Anchorage TV Station who had a short report on what Santa to the Villages is about
