You can choose what you'd like to do, whether it is donating money or supplies to a charity, volunteering your time or services to a charitable organization, reading to a child, or helping out a neighbor, co-worker, or friend. Any act of charity or kindness counts!

And this year, Lucy came up with a great idea! If you choose to volunteer and donate your time doing something that can be photographed for "Feel the Love Day," bring a camera along and get a picture of yourself in action. If you're making a donation, perhaps you can take a photo of you and the charity's home page on your computer? Or come up with another way to visualize the action. Send it in to Sharon at lucylawlessfanclub@dslextreme.com

The photos can be sent in at any time you do the volunteer work. There's no deadline for sending in the pictures. Lucy has a plan for the photos although she hasn't said what yet. And we'll be putting up a webpage of them on her website.

Anyone, anywhere can participate, regardless of how old (or young) you are, or where you live. All you have to do is decide what charitable or kind act you would like to do during "Feel the Love" week, and e-mail it with your name and location as you would like it to appear on the pledge list. On Sept. 21st, Lucy will be presented with a red rose and the pledge list of all the charitable acts being done in her honor that week. To make sure your pledge gets recorded correctly please use the following format in your e-mail:

"In honor of Lucy Lawless Feel the Love Day, I will (insert your intended contribution)

, then put your name and location (city, state,
country) as you want it to appear on the pledge list."

Please separate this information with space lines before and after in your e-mail.

* Unfortunately, personal messages, street and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, detailed descriptions of your chosen charity and links CANNOT be included on the pledge list.

However, if you'd like to write a line or two about what you are doing and why, feel free . . . it just cannot be included on the list to Lucy.

I will be contacting Starship Children's Hospital to add a link on their website that allows you to make your donation in honor of "Feel the Love Day."

Since my computer has been on the fritz, Sharon has been kind enough to volunteer to run "Feel the Love Day" this year. Please e-mail your pledges to her at lucylawlessfanclub@dslextreme.com

The deadline for submitting pledges is September 20.

Then you have the whole week of the 21-28th to follow through on your pledge and send in a picture. Or later if what you plan to do doesn't fall in that week.

I'm really excited to participate again this year and I can't wait to see the pictures of "Feel the Love Day" in action!

Thanks so much!

23 August 2008

AUSXIP is proud to announce a contest with a difference. You have a chance to nominate a fan who you think is deserving to see Lucy in Concert but is unable to do so for various financial or health reasons.

This is an extraordinary gift by a very generous fan to those who haven't and can't see Lucy live in concert. The prize is to see Lucy in San Francisco for her Come to Mama concert on the 27 September 2008

The fan will have to make their own way there and have their own accomodation but the ticket to see Lucy will be paid for. That's a $100 ticket.



How does one enter? Write to me at maryd@ausxip.com and nominate a fan that you think deserves this ticket.

There are 5 tickets available...hold it...we now have 6 tickets :)

Please submit your entries from TODAY till 1 September 2008 (we have extended the Lucy Lawless Feel The Love Day just for this event because 21 September is a little too close to 27 September and not enough time for people to get organised).

All entries will be read, then 5 will be chosen and those people will be contacted get their ticket.

It's this kind of generosity that Lucy Lawless Feel The Love Day was born to encourage and this fandom has very generous, thoughtful and loving fans.
