After a small (okay, rather large) hiatus, I'm back! I accepted positions on too many committees - three with church, three for work, two for my professional organization and one for my daughter's High School Speech Team. What was I thinking?! (Well... I was thinking I could make a difference and that I would love serving with some really great people. Unfortunately, while that is true, it left me with little time for scanning for deals or blogging. The kids even took over my Farmville for a while. How pathetic is that? If you haven't started playing Farmville yet, don't start! It's addictive and, as the YouTube parody video goes, it's the game that makes your brain start working - backwards. Well.... in keeping with the theme, it is free entertainment if you are already paying for internet.)
So.... in my first (albeit belated) post of 2010, I have to know - have you heard about the Disney deal?! The Disney Corporation, in an effort to encourage civic engagement and volunteerism (marketing has nothing to do with it, I'm sure), has partnered with the Points of Light Institute's HandOn Network to offer one FREE ticket to a Disney Park of your choice upon completion of volunteer work. Simply log onto the Get a Day, Get a Disney Day website. Pre-register your intent to volunteer. Then, peruse the list of eligible volunteer opportunities, work with the listed organization to complete your volunteer commitment, and notify Disney. You will receive an email with a voucher redeemable for one FREE Disney ticket. Anyone age 6 and up may earn a maximum of one ticket and there is a maximum of 8 tickets per household. The catch? Volunteer opportunities must also be preregistered with Disney, work must be performed within 60 days, the tickets must be used in 2010 and... there are only one million tickets available. I wonder if I can register one of my committees? Hmmmm........
