BenSpark’s Photo-A-Day 2008 Calendar

I decided to take 12 of my favorite images (13 actually with the cover) and make a 2008 calendar through LULU.com.

I took a cue from the awesome Mark Eccleston and made my own 2008 calendar through LuLu.com. I am selling them for $15.00 each.

Why that much? Well, Lulu production is $11.29 each, then Lulu also takes a $0.74 commission per calendar. I get $2.97 per calendar. However I am donating $2.00 from each calendar to help The Machinski Family.

Becky Machinski went to high school with me, she got cancer and recovered, her husband Mike has cancer and is still in recovery, he has had 120 radiation treatments! with all that time treating cancer the money that they had dwindled to nothing. The family needs some financial help. Mike and Becky have 3 beautiful daughters and they have all sacrificed so much and need some financial help.

My High School Reunion is November 24th and on that day I would like to present the Machinski’s with a check for $200.00 from the sales of these calendars. My goal is to sell 100 calendars by November 24th.

Can you help me do that?

Will you spread the word to all your blogging friends and family?

Here are the images that make up the calendar. Click for larger images.

Help Save Homes…

Property taxes are out of control all over the country but they are terrible in Florida. Homes that people have lived in for years are being assessed for crazy amounts of money. People are being forced out of their homes because they cannot pay these outrageous taxes.

A Miami real estate company is trying to make a difference in people’s lives and help propose the Portability of the Save Our Homes Assessment Cap. This is something that will help people keep homes that they have lived in and worked for their entire lives. Now that I have family in Floria I want to make sure that they aren’t forced out over such unfair practices.
