Dear Ingrid,
 We
are very pleased to announce that our NEW & UNIQUE ECONEST workshop THIS WEEKEND, SAT & SUN MAY 30 - 31, that I am co-hosting with renowned GREEN Architect
& Author, Paula-Baker Laporte - is almost FULL! Don't miss the rare opportunity to meet Paula
in person and learn about the 'Eco-Nest' way of building. This workshop
is being offered this one time only at a HUGE
DISCOUNT RATE of $100 OFF!! There are only 3 spaces left!
Don't delay registering if you are thinking about it at all. The space
is limited and the workshop is very interactive and intimate. Please read below for more detail. I would also like to announce a very special FUNDRAISING EVENT, called the MADHATTERS WALK, also on Saturday, May 30 (11am at Fairy Lake, Newmarket, Ont.) organized by my sister-in-law, Julie Cryns, in honour of my brother's healing journey, Mark Cryns. Mark was diagnosed with a form of cancer more common in children called ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Luekemia) in the Fall of 2006. He has been on an intensive 2 year chemo & radiation program and has survived it. He finished the program about half a year ago and he truly is starting to thrive now. We are all so grateful for the miracle of his healing and to the Princess Margaret Hospital program. Julie has raised $120,000 for them over the past 2 years that she has been running this event. Above is a picture of me and my daughter, Camille, at last year's event where we raised over $1000 together. If you have the time and resources (Donations of $15.00 CAD or greater will automatically receive an electronic tax receipt), please consider sponsoring the 'Cryns Clan' at this event by clicking this link on-line. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ingrid Cryns
