DUFFY LAUNCHES TO RAISE FUNDS FOR MORE CHARITIES

Duffy The Dragon books are taking off!!!  

In 2011 more charities are being added as beneficiaries of Duffy books.  

Watch for the next title to be released in April - 
"Duffy Grants A Wish" for the Make A Wish Foundation.

WOW - DUFFY THE CHRISTMASSY DRAGON TRAVELS THE WORLD!!!

Happy New Year everyone:

Duffy and I are sorry to have taken so long to up-date this blog.  It's been a very busy Christmas season.  Duffy The Christmassy Dragon was busy raising funds for the C-FAX Santas Anonymous Society and what a lot of fun that was.   Many people purchased a copy of the book for their young relatives, with copies going to:

Japan
Australia
France
Dubai
Germany
England
Scotland
Finland
Several of the US States including Texas, California and Florida
Several Canadian Provinces

The campaign was a little late getting off the ground this year, but with Scotiabank's support locally, and many of the merchants on Government Street selling the books, we had a very successful campaign.

Thank you to everyone who came to the craft fairs and to Scotiabank locations and picked up a book.  It was great fun meeting some of you and I am very excited about Christmas 2011!!

Duffy wants everyone to know, especially the little ones, that he's so proud to be able to help.

Duffy The Christmassy Dragon gets ready to fly!!!

Christmas is fast approaching and Duffy is ready.  Another lovely 24 page fully illustrated Duffy story will be available by the end of October.  Watch for craft fair dates in the Victoria area too.  All net proceeds are donated to charity (i.e. $5.00/copy).  This beautiful little book was illustrated by Kara Espeseth, a Vancouver Island illustrator.  It sold like hot cakes in the retail book market when it was first released in 2006.  With the revised edition Duffy The Christmassy dragon is dedicated to raising funds for great causes. 

Duffy on CFAX - The Fundraising Continues!!!

Duffy and Kate had a great chat with Patty Mack on her Saturday morning show "Life Style" on October 2nd.  I'll be providing a link once I have it. 

The Tour de Rock is over but the fundraising continues.  I'm planning ways to keep the funds flowing for Camp Goodtimes.  If you have any ideas you'd like to offer - please send them along.

Great news - Duffy and I had an on-camera taped interview with Adam Sawatsky from A channel today and it will be airing either tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday.
