For Ondoy Victim Donations...

• FAIR PROCEEDS: 100% of Fair proceeds will go to Ondoy Victims, we noticed during some of our outreach activities, that donations of old items instead of making the Ondoy victims feel good, they feel self-pity. To help them get back some dignity, we aim to get them basic NEW items, that won't make them feel too poorly about themselves. We invite additional cash donations from the BDJ Girls =)

• SALES FROM PARTNER BRANDS: Buying from our partner brands during the FAIR, will add our cash donation, among others, COCCO will donate up to 15% of their sales.

I love Belle de Jour powerplanners! I have the 2007, 2008 and 2009 planners and will definitely get the 2010 planner as well and what better time to get it than this coming Sunday? The event is packed with fun activities that are perfect for us ladies, and I really, really want to go. Since I missed the Candy Fair, this would be a great alternative :)

Who else are going? Any change we can do a blogger meet-and-greet? :)
