Giveaway and charity

[Thomas Gannon]

Hey my friends,
I'm letting you guys know that I'm doing a giveaway. You guys vote on what the prize is going to be and I'll cover shipping costs. I apologize but I can only ship within the US and Canada (unless you want to pay the shipping or possibly split). To join the giveaway just leave a message in this thread and I'll pull a name from a hat or just use a randomizer. The reason I'm doing this is I'm raising money for a charity with some friends. The charity is entirely optional and every little bit helps the link will give a description gofundme.com/yt87y6k8

Sounds like a worthy cause, Thomas. Good luck with your fundraising. I see from the link and some of your postings that you are in the Naperville/Downers Grove area of Illinois. I have many relatives in the Wheaton/Winfield area, close by, and love the area.

Because of my familiarity with your locality, I find it curious that you posted a photo in the FOTM contest that looks nothing like the topography of anywhere in the state of Illinois. Perhaps you didn't realize the photos are supposed to highlight your own local scenery. It's a simple oversight, but I hope you'd prefer to enter a pic that illustrates the beauty of the Chicagoland area.

Fair point I forgot to think about that. Sorry for that.

I'm a little confused .... that's nothing new! LOL How are you going to help a charity by a giveaway? Is it a free will donation if the person wins the prize? Good luck!!!

It brings people's attention to the thread with the link. People have an incentive to click on the thread and out of curiosity they might check the link.

Oh, I didn't see the link. Must be a copy and paste thing, and I failed to do that. Oops!!! LOL

It IS a wonderful shot, anyway.
