Passioneer Holiday Project 2010 - Thank You!

As this year on littleslean draws to a close, here is a final word from the Passioneer Holiday Project. Images again come care of Yen C.

Hello to all who participated in this year's Passioneer Holiday Project. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, this project would not have been a success without each and every one of you!

Thank you for taking the time to find a way to show Sarah Slean that she has inspired you. We're sure that all of the people who benefited from your acts of kindness are finding their lives to be just a little brighter this year.

This year after the show Sarah let us know that this yearly project inspired her to donated some of the profits from this year's Harbourfornt show to a local organization which she supports year round! How awesome is that? She inspired us, we all did something good, and now she's inspired by us. You're all part of full circle of inspiration that is making the world a better place a bit at a time.

To those who signed up but who weren't able to participate this year we still appreciate your support. It's a busy time of year and sometimes it's tough to get everything done. Never fear, we're hoping to go for a seventh year so there will be lots of opportunity to take part again.

Thank you all, have a great holiday season.

From Andrea, Cameron and Elizabeth

The 2010 Passioneer Holiday Project

The 2010 Passioneer Holiday Project has now started.

The dates for this year's holiday concerts have not been officially announced as yet, but it was pointed out in the last official mailing list post that they will be taking place. Sarah is treating her fans this year with a B-side album and the Passioneer Holdiay Card is one way for fans to return a thank you back to her and do something good for others.

All the information on how to participate is posted on Facebook here. You can 'Like' the page below to help spread the word and RSVP on the event page for reminders. This fan-run project is now in its sixth year. Many thanks to those who have contributed over those years and to Yen for taking the photos used in the above collage.

A brief version of the details are:

You can be a part of the Passioneer Holiday Project by donating time, goods or money to a local or international charity, or by helping out a friend, neighbour or stranger.
Once you've participated, please send your information to slean_holiday@yahoo.ca by December 11th.

What we need to see is:

- your name
- your screen name
- your city
- how you participated

All of this information will be compiled in a card which will then be given to Sarah after her annual holiday concerts in Toronto.

The 4th Passioneer Holiday Project is now in full swing! It is a way for fans to give back to Sarah for all she has given us this past year. For more information and how to contribute, please see the thread on the official forum over here.

For those unfamiliar with this project, it has been a tradition since 2005. Fans do a good deed for an organization of their choice and then have their name and contribution included in a card. The card is then given to Sarah as a gift after her annual holiday shows in Toronto. This is a completely fan-run endeavor and has drawn participation of fans from around the globe.

Pictures from past years are archived in various places, but here are sources for a few of them.
