Happy Hour Friday 12.21 – Sandy Hook Edition

Welcome back to the party!!

Happy Hour Friday Link Party

This week, I’m doing something a little different.  I know many of you are as heartbroken as I am over the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy in Newtown, CT.  A few other bloggers and I have teamed up for this week’s link party with a cause.

Several of us have pooled together and pledged to donate (a combined donation of) one dollar for every link at this week’s party. That’s right, for every link you add, $1 will be donated to the Western Connecticut United Way!

To spread the word about the link party, there are other bloggers who are posting today’s link party at their sites, too – so links you add here will be immediately visible on several blogs! We would love to see as many links as possible, but please keep in mind that the spirit behind link parties is really to share your latest and greatest. We are accepting your posts from this month only (but the party stays open for a week! It will run through December 27th.)

Now, before we begin this week’s party, I want to share a few things that caught my eye from last week’s party!

I have always said that Happy Hour Friday is a no-rules link party, and I stand by that. I do have a special request, because of this week’s theme – if you link today, please share about the party.  Tweet it, Pin it, share on Facebook, tell your favorite bloggers – anything to get the word out!  The more links we get, the more we can donate!

Trackbacks

  1. [...] First of all, let me say how touched I am with the turnout at last week’s special link party in tribute to Sandy Hook Elementary.  We had over 800 links.  Yes, you read that right.  800.  As I draft this, the current count is 830.  That’s $830 we raised together for the United Way’s special Sandy Hook fund – and the party is still running until midnight tonight (Thursday!) so if you missed out or want to add a few more links – there’s still a little time left!!  You can visit last week’s Sandy Hook tribute link party here.
