IN HONOR OF ADAM'S BIRTHDAY, GIVE A GIFT TO HIS FAVORITE CAHRITY- DONORS CHOOSE!!!

AND WHEN YOU GIVE A GIFT THROUGH THE GLAM NATION GLITTERMAT PAGE AT DONORS CHOOSE-- RECEIVE A FREE LUV-THE-LYRICS NECKLACE! See below for details!

Some of you know that I love to make the "Luv-the-Lyrics" pendants and necklaces and give them to various special members of the Glamily that I get to meet along the way! I never sell them, even though many have asked me to do so.

And you know that I love to raise funds for DonorsChoose too! And those projects still need our help--even though the GlamNation tour is coming to a close soon.... so here is a way to do both!

GIVE A DONATION THROUGH THE GLAM NATION GLITTERMAT GIVING PAGE--AND RECEIVE A FREE LUV-THE-LYRICS NECKLACE!

Here are what they look like:

FIRST SOLO CONCERT EDITION: (various Adam photos on pendants, various lyrics, with choice of silver or black beads:

NEW !!! NEW !!! NEW !!!!

WWFM - 1st GRAMMY NOMINATION edition!: Black bead, Photo of Adam i profile from limo scene from the WWFM video! ) WWFM lyric on reverse!
http://twitpic.com/3d1sj9

ADAM & ME EDITION: I am proud to announce a NEW collection of the "Luv-the-Lyrics" pendants and beads, called "ADAM & ME !" that I would give away as a gift with a premium donation to the GlamNation Glittermat Laundry Room.

To make it more unique to YOU -- it will feature the photo you would provide--as well as bead color---and lyrics from one of your favorite songs by Adam!

I think it would be so cool to have your photo with Adam on one side and your favorite lyrics on the other of this special keepsake!!!

And maybe next time you see him-- he could autograph it for you!

The way it would work is that you would make a donation to the project of your choice on the GlamNation Glittermat page, and then email your photo with Adam ( or your favorite concert photo of him that you took yourself or have permission to use) , along with your receipt from the donation.

You would also need to provide your mailing address. I would pay for the shipping. Send receipt sent to you from DonorsChoose for your donation to the GlamNation Glittermat giving page to : DearBecky@aol.com

For $25 donation:
Your choice of First Solo Concert. GlamNation Tour or VooDoo photo version of the Luv-the-Lyrics necklace, with FYE lyrics and beads selected by the Universe for you from those available!

For $50 donation:Your choice of First Solo Concert. GlamNation Tour, or VooDoo photo version of Luv-the-Lyrics necklace, with of lyrics from your favorite FYE song, and bead color ( blue, silver, or black).

For $100 donation:
Your very own unique--- one of a kind--- "Adam & Me" Luv-the-Lyrics pendant, with lyrics from your favorite FYE song and necklace bead color in blue, silver, or black!

P.S. Sorry--but donations to any other giving page cannot count toward the free gift at this time-as we are trying to raise funds for this page. I hope you will understand.. Smiling

ABOUT LAMBERT CHALLENGE:

Online education charity DonorsChoose.org announced that Adam Lambert, American Idol’s eighth season runner-up, will support high-need public school classrooms and inspire his fan groups to compete for the most donations. Lambert will ask tens of thousands of fans to donate directly to classroom project requests posted by teachers at DonorsChoose.org. When the challenge concludes Lambert will deliver supplies to a randomly selected classroom and reward the fan group with the most donations with signed photos and exclusive online interviews. The new challenge campaign represents an unusual intersection of star power, Web technology and collective citizen action for social change.

DonorsChoose.org has created a unique giving page for each fan group, which displays classroom projects in need of funding. Fans can donate any amount to any project of their choosing; each contribution helps that particular fan group push forward in the competition. A “Lambert Leaderboard” www.donorschoose.org/AdamLambert tracks and displays real-time results. Fan Group leaders should sign up and receiving confirmation by August 15th, fundraising will begin on August 20th and last for one month.

ABOUT DonorsChoose.org:

DonorsChoose.org was born in the teachers' lunchroom of a Bronx public high school where Charles Best, our founder, taught social studies for five years. He and his fellow teachers were spending lots of their own money on basic supplies but still seeing their students go without the books, art supplies, field trips, and other resources needed for a rigorous education.

So they started a nonprofit website where any public school teacher can post a resource request for their students, and donors from all walks of life can choose the projects they want to support, www.DonorsChoose.org. You can check out our search page and you can see that there are lots of live requests from New York to Los Angeles, to everywhere in between, like Mississippi. There are also lots of requests that that match a personal interest, like yoga, baseball, autism, or Dr. Seuss.

ASKING FOR DONATIONS TO YOUR FAN GROUP GIVING PAGE:

How to Hit Up Your Fan Group Members and ALL Friends/Loved Ones/Co-Workers:

We are asking each Fan Group leader (in this case DearBecky), to be responsible for your own Giving Page within the Adam Lambert challenge on DonorsChoose.org. She will also beresponsible for your own outreach to your fan groups; as well as updates to your blog/webpage about challenge. Some ideas include sending out an initial email letting fan group members know about the challenge and that you need their help participating in the challenge. Also weekly (or even daily) emails or posts about how the campaign is doing and ignite friendly competition among the groups. Please keep in the mind that this is fun competition designed to raise funds for public schools; any inappropriate language in connection with the challenge, misrepresentation of Adam’s involvement, or other activities deemed dishonest or corrupt will be removed from the challenge immediately and have their fan group black listed by Adam’s management team.

TAX DEDUCTIONS:

All credit card donations and checks should be made through your unique GivingPage link (The Glittermat Laundry Room fan group donation page is located at:
http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=22795 )
at www.DonorsChoose.org. Donations at DonorsChoose.org are 100% tax-deductible. DonorsChoose.org will provide a receipt for tax-deduction purposes when a donation is made online. NO ONE SHOULD BE COLLECTING CASH DONATIONS.

EMAIL TEMPLATE FOR KICKING OFF GROWING SEASON:

See below for a template email for you to send to your Fan Group members. Feel free to add any personal touches. The key message is that you’re helping Adam raise funds for low-income classroom projects and that your friends/loved ones/co-workers need to go to your unique link to fund a project:

SAMPLE LETTER / EMAIL TO SEND TO FRIENDS: (Copy and paste into emails to your friends!)

Subject: Adam Lambert challenge is here!

Dear Friends: (personlized with their name is preferable!)

I am excited to announce that our Fan Group, The Glittermat Laundry Room, has been selected to participate in the Lambert Loves Learning challenge. We will be teaming up with Adam to support public school classrooms DonorsChoose.org. Adam recently asked folks on AI.com to give to DonorsChoose.org in lieu of gifts or other cards to him—this has been so successful that the challenge will now include a competition for the most generous Fan Group. We have one month to raise the most funds for public schools and we are in direct competition with other Lambert Fan groups. If we are the most generous group we will host an exclusive, members only, private online interview with Adam himself—with Q&A from you!

So I need your support. I am asking every fan group member to make a contribution to our Fan Page. and choose one or more of the classroom projects chosen by Adam on Donorschoose.org. The Glittermat Laundry Room fan group donation page is located at:
http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=22795.

Because this is for the kids, any donation size, is welcome. This donation will go directly to local low-income classroom projects. I also encourage you to pass this note on to other Fans of Adam—or folks who care about supporting education. Be sure to visit our Glittermat Laundry Room Fan Group Giving Page, http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=22795.
which is unique to others in the challenge to make a donation.

We depend on word-of-mouth publicity, so please forward this email to anyone who might be interested in donating!

Thanks for helping me to help Adam,
( Sign YOUR NAME here! )

Collecting Donations

P.S.S. A little bit of info aboutThe Glittermat Laundry Room:

The Glittermat Laundry Room's founder, known as 80's Mom, created not only a lively and smartly funny thread known as 'Adam Do My Laundry", but also a virtual, caring, community of Adam Lambert fans from all walks of life. They share their own creative contributions, at their own pace, in this long-running thread, which began during Adam's early weeks on Idol. Rumor has it that Adam himself has enjoyed reading our posts!

In honor of our founder, we would like to encourage donors in this group to please consider donating to projects that are related to her home areas, which include New Orleans, La., as well as the Mississippi Gulf Coast region, still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Katrina. However, projects in all areas are in need, and all donations will be appreciated. We are proud to join Adam in this charitable project, and invite you to join with us and to give generously - you'll find that in helping others, that you will receive more joy than you can ever imagine!

And afterward, stop by the St. Adam of the Laundry shrine and grotto . Directions are on the original post of the Adam-Do My Laundry thread in the AO Community area: http://www.adamofficial.com/content/adam-do-my-laundry

its so great that adam gives more help to ppl in need. <3 Its sweet of him.

!
I am considering a creative project. It is an item I will have made to sell. When I sell the first batch I intend to donate $100 to DonorsChoose.org. Ironically, DonorsChoose.org is also linked on my blog.

I like this charity as it helps many kids, but especially the ones that are in the arts. If I remember back (a looooooong time ago) to elementary school, it was the music, theater and art programs that were the ones that had the most impact on my life.

HI everyone! Sorry I've been away for so long---it's been a long journey --- but glad to say that I am back !

Isn't it wonderful that Adam has been voted the Ultimate Idol in the Q102 contest!!! Let's celebrate!

And what better way than to make a gift to Adam's educational charity , DonorsChoose!

There has been a lot happening in theGlamNation Glittermat;s area of focus-- the Southeast -- between the recent flooding of the Mississippi, the tornadoes in Alabama and Georgia, not to mention the ongoing effects on the region's economy by the oil spill last year, this area is hurting....

Which means the schools and their students are really hurting too.

Please consider helping--even $1, every amount helps!

Have a beautiful day!

Love it when I receive the copies of receipts from Donors to claim their Luv the Lyrics pendant and beads!

The latest one goes to @Tiso -- hope you enjoy your Adam's 1st GRAMMY nomination edition! It's headed your way --so you'll be accessorized perfectly on GRAMMY night!

Let's give $29 to a project in honor of Adam's 29th on the 29th!!! I've jsut made my contribution---come join me!

School children all across America with thank you!

Hi Hot4Adam! Glad to have you stop by ! Hope that you had good holidays--was just thinking about you--and your beloved cat....and hoping things are going well for you ....

.
up you go. Sure beats the threads of people looking for attention.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Hi @HotforAdam! thanks for the bump! Are you ready for Christmas yet?

Now for a limited time-the next three days-you can donate through eBay to get the Kuv-the-Lyrics necklace!
http://cgi.ebay.com/Adam-Lambert-lyrics-necklace-DonorsChoose-gets-100-/...

Instead of putting my "luv-the-lyrics" pendants and beads away, not that GNT is over for now, I've decided to hang them on our Christmas tree! The beads and the shiny lyrics side really catch the lights--and of course-- there is Adam's handsome face on the front!

My tree is full or ornaments that are symbolic of happy events in my life

And I can't think of anything happier to symbolize the Year of GlamNation and the Glamily!

Thanks Becky. I think I know what picture I'm going to use (my avatar), now I'm working on deciding what lyric. I think I've narrowed it down to 3 and today I'll decide among those. Hope my delay in letting you know doesn't cause any problem.

Give a "Luv-the-Lyrics" to a friend for Christmas --or to yourself--while the kids get the best gift of all --your support!!!

Please help me keep this thread bumped so it stays near the top!

GIVE A GIFT THROUGH THE GLAM NATION GLITTERMAT PAGE --AND RECEIVE A FREE LUV-THE-LYRICS NECKLACE! See below for details!

Some of you know that I love to make the "Luv-the-Lyrics" pendants and necklaces and give them to various special members of the Glamily that I get to meet along the way! I never sell them, even though many have asked me to do so.

And you know that I love to raise funds for DonorsChoose too! And those projects still need our help--even though the GlamNation tour is coming to a close soon.... so here is a way to do both!

GIVE A DONATION THROUGH THE GLAM NATION GLITTERMAT GIVING PAGE--AND RECEIVE A FREE LUV-THE-LYRICS NECKLACE!

Here are what they look like:

FIRST SOLO CONCERT EDITION: (various Adam photos on pendants, various lyrics, with choice of silver or black beads:

NEW !!! NEW !!! NEW !!!!

ADAM & ME EDITION: I am proud to announce a NEW collection of the "Luv-the-Lyrics" pendants and beads, called "ADAM & ME !" that I would give away as a gift with a premium donation to the GlamNation Glittermat Laundry Room.

To make it more unique to YOU -- the same round pendant will feature the photo you would provide-- you choose bead color from available black, silver, or turquoise---and lyrics for the back side from one of your favorite songs by Adam!

I think it would be so cool to have your photo with Adam on one side and your favorite lyrics on the other of this special keepsake!!!

And maybe next time you see him-- he could autograph it for you!

The way it would work is that you would make a donation to the project of your choice on the GlamNation Glittermat page, and then email your photo with Adam ( or your favorite concert photo of him that you took yourself or have permission to use) , along with your receipt from the donation.

You would also need to provide your mailing address. I would pay for the shipping. Send receipt sent to you from DonorsChoose for your donation to the GlamNation Glittermat giving page to : DearBecky@aol.com

For $25 donation:
Your choice of First Solo Concert. GlamNation Tour or VooDoo photo version of the Luv-the-Lyrics necklace, with FYE lyrics and beads selected by the Universe for you from those available!

For $50 donation:Your choice of First Solo Concert. GlamNation Tour, or VooDoo photo version of Luv-the-Lyrics necklace, with of lyrics from your favorite FYE song, and bead color ( blue, silver, or black).

For $100 donation:
Your very own unique--- one of a kind--- "Adam & Me" Luv-the-Lyrics pendant, with lyrics from your favorite FYE song and necklace bead color in blue, silver, or black!

P.S. Sorry--but donations to any other giving page cannot count toward the free gift at this time-as we are trying to raise funds for this page. I hope you will understand.. Smiling

Some of you know that I love to make the "Luv-the-Lyrics" pendants and necklaces and give them to various special members of the Glamily that I meet along the way!

Some of you also know that I manage two of Adam's DonorsChoose Giving Pages --called the Glittermat Laundry Room and the GlamNation Glittermat! And those projects still need our help--even though the GlamNation tour is coming to a close soon....

I was thinking of making a new collection of the "Luv-the-Lyrics" pendants and beads, called "ADAM & ME !" that I would give away as a gift with a donation to the DonorsChoose page that I work on for Adam called "the GlamNation Glittermat Laundry Room". I think it would be so cool to have your photo with Adam on one side and your favorite lyrics on the other of this special keepsake!

And maybe next time you see him-- he could autograph it for you!

The way it would work is that you would make a donation to the project of your choice on the GlamNation Glittermat page, and then email your photo with Adam ( or your favorite concert photo of him that you took yourself or have permission to use) , along with your receipt from the donation.

What do you think of this idea? And what donation amount do you think would be fair to ask? Would love to hear from you!

Once I get your feedback, I'll organize it and make an announcement!

*tail wags and licks for the laundry room peeps* sorry for the muddy paw prints..have been playing in the mud...*scampers out*

Let's celebrate the GlamNation International Tour with a donation to the projects in the GlamNation Glittermat Laundry Room!

HI there sprite ! Thanks for dropping by! That's really great that you would like to donate to one of the Glittermat's projects! The kids definitely would appreciate it!

MUAH!

Good Evening Becky Smiling

I literally just made my bi-weekly donation last night. Did this on the large giving page as there are a few "special" projects that I give to and I don't want to clog up the other giving pages. I donated to the "Using Music to learn American Idol" and the small Greek Mythology book project. One of the projects that I donated to didn't accept the funding and it has been over 30 days now so DC said they would refund my $$$ back. When it comes in I will give to one of your projects. Hopefully in a few days. I sort of adopted a small rural school in Michigan to donate to. That was the school that had the very large instrument project on the unofficial donation page. It had a "miracle" and got funded last week. $7000 project...

Keep this bumped to remind me Smiling ...is it age or just the RW that is making me so forgetful.

Hi pugs! Thanks for stopping by! Love your Halloween costume!!!

*pushes door open with nose@ sniff, sniff... it smells good in here...never been here before, investigating..sorry for paw prints
* scampers back to the castle*

glitter bum for the kids!

This Glamoween, why not give the kids a special treat and Glam-A-Classroom!!!

We have several projects that really are in need of a guardian angel---are those your wings that I hear fluttering nearby???

Glittery bump for the kids! The promo may be over, but the kids sitll need you!
