Pillow Fight!

I'm too lazy today to go back through all my old blog posts and figure out if I've ever talked to you about the talented Robin Andrew of UNPOSED.
So I'll tell you about her now.

She's a local area photographer.
A great one.

Over the past few years Robin has transformed from Electrical Engineer to Portrait Photographer and turned her love and talent for photography into a booming career for herself.
There's nothing I respect more than someone who can turn their creative passion into a business that pays the bills.
Robin photographed Clemmie when she was only 5 months and also did all the photography on my website.
She's talented and hilarious and can turn anyone into a model.
If only for an hour.

Another thing that makes Robin special to me is her willingness to sponsor my friend Lisa's Lupus fundraiser last year.
Lupus fundraising time has arrived again on the calendar and, yet again, Robin is stepping up to do her part.
Unsolicited this time. So that just shows you what kind of gal Robin is.

She's come up with an idea to host a huge pillow fight/movie night/fundraiser next month.
So Saturday, April 30, she's hosting a Family Fun Night at Almonte, Old Town Hall with proceeds to Lupus Ontario. The event will kick off with a giant pillow fight, followed by a double bill family movie: Despicable Me, and Tangled.

Wanna play?
To participate, purchase a pillow case in advance for only $8. Cash only please. All proceeds from pillow case sales will be donated to Lupus Ontario. Stuff the pillow case with your favourite pillow and come out to have some fun.

Pillow cases are now available for purchase at the following locations:
Arts Carleton Place, Train Station Gallery, Carleton Place

Wearing your PJs is encouraged!
Popcorn and drinks will be available for sale and there will be a 50/50 draw. Jack FM will be broadcasting live.

The Old Town Hall is at 14 Bridge Street in Almonte. The event begins at 7pm, doors open at 6:30pm.

Hope you can come!
