10.8.11 Adam News & Info

I wanted to share a great experience from last weekend, and to thank so many of you for your kind support.

Last weekend, the growing group of volunteers to 1n10 (the nonprofit that supports LGBTQ youth) walked in the AIDS Walk. I've mentioned before that we have developed a team name Adam Lambert Inspired Volunteerism Everywhere (A.L.I.V.E.). We now have a large sign with the name of the team that was provided by the Walk organizers.

After the Walk - our team name was mentioned from the main stage and all the 1n10 staff were so happy. They feel such a bond with Adam's fans now (and of course Adam).

Also, since I volunteer on a couple of 1n10 fundraising committees, I can report that there is always a lot of "Adam fan love" to go around. I have thanked a few people on our site previously that acknowledged donating to the OUTDoors Camp held in Sept. Kado (the Camp Director) expressed how much the extra support meant to the kids, who flew in from all over the country for this very unique camp.

One ATOP member I did not thank is wilkie who gifted 3 of Adam's peace pendants to the youth. The 1n10 committee will come up with a cool idea on how to award one of the pendants to the youth, and then possibly use the other pendants as auction items for the 2012 brunch. The goal is to get a bigger drop in center for the youth. So, thank you wilkie and everyone else for helping the goal move forward.

Also, fans in other states are asking for info on how we got our team going and for some of the materials (which we are happily sharing). This Adam Inspired Volunteerism process is intended to "unfold". :-)

Just one other quick thing we are doing this month - there is a large diversity conference being held on Oct 19 with large and small companies participating. 1n10 will have a booth and will be giving out some of the remaining FYE CDs for prizes. So, Adam's CD will be announced each time some one wins that particular door prize throughout the day. To me, the joy in life is connecting wonderful people in the universe in a variety of ways.

Anyway, bottom line is that you are loved by a group of staff and young people that you may never meet, but they love and appreciate all of you nonetheless!
