I think Christmas can now begin. I used to be determined that December 1st and no earlier is the beginning of Christmas, when Carols can be sung and trees decorated. But now that I have done my first Salvation Army Kettle shift I have caved and decided the new start to Christmas will from now on be when Kettle's kick off.

Speaking of The War College. (great segway there eh)
We are recruiting students to come spend a year in Canada's infamous Downtown Eastside. I just accepted 4 students to our 2009-2010 year - The War Cry session - and I think we have a few spots left, apply today! www.thewarcollege.com

Speaking of War College applicants. (come on - that was a much better segway)
We have had many applicants from developing countries who are not able to afford full tuition. Perhaps you are in a position to offer assistance. Canadian donars can receive a tax receipt upon request. If you are up for establishing full or partial scholarships or would like more information, fire me off an email, nicole@thewarcollege.com.

Speaking of War College Scholarships (i am really perfecting this segway thing)
