Online Harry Potter Party - For Charity

[rowenaforest]

Greetings from a Lurker and fellow Potter fan!

On July 26, 2003 at 6am PDT, bloggers and web journalers across the 
globe will take part in Blogathon 2003 (http://www.blogathon.org).  
For 24 hours they will post an update to our site at least once every 
30 minutes.  For this, they collect sponsorships. Sponsors may either 
pledge a flat rate for completion of the full 24 hours, or an hourly 
pledge for each hour the site is updated. 

A small group of us have entered our site, #12 Grimauldi Place 
(http://12grimauldi.esoteric-renaissance.com), as a participant in 
this event.  For 24 hours we will submerge ourselves in the world of 
Harry Potter with a "Happy Harry Potter Party". 

Our sponsor donations will go to benefit Comic Relief 
(http://www.comicrelief.org.uk/), the organization J.K. Rowling 
wrote "Quidditch Through the Ages" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to 
Find Them" to benefit.  

Visitors to the site on July 26, will be able to join us in this 
party as we post party updates, discuss the books, share recipes as 
we taste test them, etc.  A chat room will be set up for visitors to 
join us live as the day progresses.  A raffle and gifts to sponsors 
are currently in the works, more details to come.  reader suggestions 
for book discussion topics also greatly appreciated! :-)

Please consider joining us on this day and sponsoring us for this 
endeavor.  At the end of the event, we will let our sponsors know how 
they can donate, and they will send funds directly to Comic Relief. 
Neither myself nor the organizers of the Blogathon will collect any 
funds directly.  A sponsorship link may be found at #12 Grimauldi 
Place, or by clicking "Particpant List" at the Blogathon website and 
choosing "#12 Grimauldi Place"

Thanks!
