Welcome to Jim's Blog

Hello and welcome to my new Blog.  I have been trying to start this Blog for several weeks now but for the life of me I couldn’t think of what I wanted to say.  I am still working on that but in the meantime let me begin by saying HELLO.  And, welcome to my temporarily unnamed Blog.  I look forward to a lively exchange of thoughts and opinions about all things fundraising.  So, don’t hold back.  Share your comments and opinions with me.  This will make it a lot more fun for us all!

But, we can’t really have exciting discussions until we’ve taken care of one important task – my Blog needs a name.  As creative as I thought I was every name I came up with was quickly laughed at by my friends.  So, I turn to you – the creative members of this Blog community.  Help me name my Blog.  And, did I mention that the winner will be rewarded?  If I choose your entry to become my official Blog name you will receive a $50 Amazon.com gift card!

Here is some information about me that I would like to incorporate into my Blog’s name.  First, I want everyone to know my Blog is about fundraising.  Also, my first name needs to be in the Blog title.  I also travel nearly every week so if you would get bonus points if you could somehow incorporate travel into the name.  Serious, sarcastic, silly – all entries will be considered.

As with any contest there are rules, and here are the rules for the “Name Jim’s Blog” contest:

  • You can submit as many Blog names as you want.  Each entry will be reviewed by the blue-ribbon selection committee (that would be me);
  • Submit your entries by commenting to this Blog entry; if the exact same Blog name is submitted by two or more people, the person who submitted it first gets credit;
  • I will choose the winner – this will be the one I like the most.  Or the one who includes the most bribe money with their entry.  There will be no popular vote;
  • The deadline for entries is 11:59 pm on April 30, so get busy;
  • Any and all entries will become my exclusive property and you will forfeit all rights, thus allowing me to take full credit for thinking of the name myself;
  • The winner will receive a $50 gift card, by email, to Amazon.com;
  • I can add any other rules anytime I want.

That’s it.  Put on your creative thinking cap and help me name my Blog!  I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

That’s all for now.  See you again soon.

Happy fundraising!
