Red Day May 14 Brookfield, WI Red Day ....our own celebration we call...Taste Toast & Tunes was an outstanding Success !  RED for non- Keller folks is  Renew Energize and Donate....and that is what we did at the Brookfield Best Western Midway Motor Lodge .cake..with food, drink, music and a great silent auction. A tarot card reader and Caricature artist rounded out the entertainment and were very popular !
   One of the prizes that got a lot of attention....and a way that lots of people who have timeshares can pay it forward...is to do what we did.auction  Our timeshare offers a "two for" trade at various times throughout the year. We trade our week and get two weeks in return. We donated one  of our weeks as an auction item for RED DAY.....a free week's vacation ...value dependent upon the location you choose and the organization benefiting from the auction gets a big kick in their fundraising...!Timeshare auction  This prize helped us to reach our goal for The Womens Center....and you too can use this "two for" offer to help the charity of your choice. If they aren't having an auction, a raffle might work...be sure you check with laws in your state governing these kinds of things....and then just feel good all over about paying it forward and giving where you live !

I sold my time share back in 2003 when they doubled the annual fees. It was just too expensive.

  Some timeshares may charge an exchange fee...but the charitable donation is sooooo worth it !

Haven’t seen anything new in your blog for a few days. I guess you’ve been getting ready for Judgment Day beginning at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time today. See you in AfterRain.
