The 3rd annual Live With Passion is coming up on Saturday, April 24, 2010.  This is our biggest fundraising event of the year.  Last year we made close to $15,000!!!  The best part is EVERYONE can take part.  We ask PVs, or friends and family of PVs to organize an event in their area on April 24th.  Then participants go out and get sponsors for the event.  The event can range from organize a walk around your neighborhood to gathering people together for a 24 hour bike/run event to gathering your fellow farmers for a planting marathon…. Put on your thinking caps and used your creativity to think of an “event” for your community.  In the past we have had walks, hikes, canoeing, planting, biking, eating and performing, just to name a few.  The best part of the day is the chance to gather together as a community and know that your fellow PVs are doing the same.

We will supply you with all the necessary info for your day’s event.  In the next few weeks look for an email with brochures and sponsor sheets.   Please let us know if you think you would like to put on an event, and we do our best to support you.

I-Give has been a wonderful source of fundraising for us. Here is their latest offer to help us raise more funds….spread the word!!!!

For each person who joins iGive using the special link below and does just one qualified web search on our site between now and noon Thursday, we’ll give PV Volunteers a dollar.

Of course, if these new members search more (or buy something at an iGive store) they’ll earn even more money for PV Volunteers. Right now, we’re donating a special $.02 per search and a bonus $5 for that first purchase plus the usual percentage.

Here’s where you come in. The only way PV Volunteers will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more) is if you invite them. Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, do a Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think
PV Volunteers is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it’s free! You can even just forward this e-mail.

Artists for peace and justice is another place for updates on the situation in Haiti. They are a group of actors who a couple years ago chose to support the work that Fr. Rick does in Haiti. They seem to be updating their site quite frequently. There was also an interview with their founder, Paul Haggis (director of the movie Crash) on Canadian Television this morning.

Also, on another sad note, Fr. Rick’s mother passed away yesterday. Fr. Rick was able to return to the states to be with his mom and family when she passed. Please keep the Frechette family in your thoughts and prayers.
