Boy do I ever have a special offer to make to you today! As you all know I have been looking for jobs and considering different options for furthering my career. Currently I have $250 left in my AmeriCorps training budget given to me by the Conservancy that has to be used by the end of my term in December. I have been looking for training opportunities that might be interesting and look good on a resume, and today I think I found the one that I want to do (EPA Campus Certified Environemntal Specialist Online Training)...the problem? Its $500, meaning that I have to dig $250 out of my own pocket to match the conservancy's contribution. This would be no problem if I weren't a full time volunteer...but since I am, things are a little bit tight. Here is my proposal to you: If anyone would like to make a $25 donation to my class (not tax deductible, sorry, I am not 501-3c...although I am practically a non-profit since I have not made any money in 2 years) I will send you an 8 x 10 print of any photo of your choice from this blog or any other one that you know I have (feel free to ask to see others) as a thank you gift. If just 10 people do this then I will only have to cover the cost of printing the photos, which would be excellent, but even if only 5 people do, I could probably scrape together the rest of the money if I needed too as well and that would also be great. I'm not looking for someone to pay for the whole thing, nor do I want anyone to contribute thats as hard up for cash as I am, and I hate to ask for my friends and family to bail me out since you have all already done so much for me, but just a little leg-up would be awesome.
Heres how it would work: If you are interested in a one of a kind, shelby original photo print with a personally signed thank you note from the artist herself then please send an email to shelby.perry@gmail.com or post a comment on this post and let me know that you are interested, what your mailing address is (unless I already have it), and which photo you would like - or if you don't know, what kinds of things you like and I'll find one for you. Then I will send your photo and you can mail me a check (made out to TRCD - The Tahoe Resource Conservation District, who manage my contract) when you have recieved the photo in the mail and are happy with it! Thats it! How easy!
Think about it, let me know, in the mean time, here are some photos you COULD be the luck owner of if you so chose :-)
And sooooo many more!
