long days of sunshine and moderate

temperatures in the evening conspire to produce

ph. The bright berry Merlot and fragrant notes

of Cabernet-Franc are wonderfully framed by

#17 Writing Rescue

The girl was a lovely girl; she just didn't know

why. Staring numbly at the passersby around her

to avoid the thin envelope next to her latté , this

girl was pretty sure that, if she couldn't

articulate just what she had to offer the world,

the person in the Admissions Office wouldn‟t see

it either. She had about as much belief in the

authenticity of her voice as she had in aliens. At

the next table, the hot boy in the hoodie scanned

the sample essay he was to analyze for English

class with much the same venomous vibe that

Captain Kirk used when he eyed a new planet.

To go boldly forth, yet in a formal essay? How?

Bring your son or daughter's personal statement

into focus. Help them reveal and revel in the

essay form, by bridging the gap between the

mystery of the formal and their own, authentic,

voice. Allow her, him, or yourself, to explore

what authority means.

Includes 5 instructional hours to shape personal

essays for college - or to find vocal power in

formal essay form. Poet and playwright Audrey

Freudenberg (B.A. Yale University, M.F.A. in

Creative Writing from the University of

Montana-Missoula) offers her skills in the

service of freeing your voice, or that of someone

you know. Five hours of coffee shop analysis

will open eyes to the power of expository writing

and provide the tools to shock a lost writer's

boring essay to life.

Donated by Audrey Freudenberg

Valued at $300

#18 Truman Buffett Photography

“Photography helps people to see,” says

Berenice Abbott. Capture your world, your

family, your gathering through the camera‟s lens

life. Whatever your need, Truman Buffett

Photography will help you see your world with

fresh eyes, leaving you staring in amazement –

did it really look that joyous, that spontaneous,

that bright?

Includes three hours of photography at the

location of your choice and 36 images saved on

CD for your unlimited use. If you want

engagement or wedding photography, this

package can be applied toward the total cost after

consultation with photographer, or for the full

cost if needing only up to 3 hours of

photography. Consult with photographer for

details.

#19 Scenic Flight

They say Seattle is one of the most beautiful

places on earth, but with one rainy day after

another, it is easy to forget. That all changes

when the clouds part and the blue sky is unveiled

and the truth of this is revealed. Seattle is

breathtaking. To really appreciate the wonder of

Seattle‟s unique landscape, you must see it, not

from the ground, but from the sky. That is why

you will fly above the water and green spaces

with a clear view of snow-capped mountains and

maybe a whale or two swimming below. You‟ll

It‟s December, 1899. A small menagerie on the

estate of Guy C. Phinney, a Canadian-born

lumber mill owner and real estate developer, is

sold to the city for $5,000 in cash along with the

assumption of a $95,000 mortgage. The sum is

so large that the Seattle mayor vetoes the

acquisition ... only to be over-ruled by the city

council. Politics never change. Whether you‟re

looking for something special for your own

family, those wonderful friends or your very

special guests visiting from out-of-town, you‟ll

be grateful to that long-ago city council for

rebelling and insisting on founding the award-

winning Woodland Park Zoo. With realistic

#35 Karin Nelson Acupuncture

“Day gives way to night, night to day; a time of

light and activity (Yang) is followed by darkness

and rest (Yin). Flowers open and close, the moon

waxes and wanes, the tides come in and go out;

we wake and sleep, breathe in, breathe out.

Yin/Yang is a constant, continual flow through

which everything is expressed on the one hand

and recharged on the other. They are an

inseparable couple. Their proper relationship is

health; a disturbance in this relationship is

disease.” (Acupuncture, p. 57)

Includes 2 sessions of acupuncture with Karin

Nelson, Lic.Ac. in her office on Queen Anne.

to them someday, and you certainly can‟t bear to

throw them away. But life is busy and you don‟t

know where to go to fix them anyway. So they
