MacBook Pro for Kristin

I know the chart says "48%" but we are much closer than that when you take into account the cash contributions, and kind offer of a discount from a source who wishes to remain anonymous (shhhh!)

We'll be presenting Kristin with an empty box at the party, and going with her to purchase her new laptop at her convenience after that.

It wouldn't be nearly as good a gift if she doesn't get to buy it herself!

Just 2 more days until the party!

I've just gotten final details on the retirement party which is a joint event for both Kristin Clark & Alan Wilkinson.

June 5th, 4pm-6pm
University Club
Queen's University
RSVP to lex [at] plethorapress [dot] com

We'll be heading to the Kingston Brewing Company for dinner afterwards.

We will be giving Kristin a group card at the Retirement Party.

You can add your message with your contribution to the by adding a comment (the comment section shows up after the payment is processed). Alternatively you can email me directly with your greetings and congratulations.

You can contribute money to Kristin's retirement gift by clicking the orange "ChipIn!" button on the right.

If you have an existing PayPal account, it's as simple as deciding how much you want to contribute.

If you don't have a PayPal account, you can set up a secure PayPal account, and contribute from a credit card - keeping all the credit card details private.

If you aren't comfortable with PayPal but still want to contribute, you can email me with how much you'd like to contribute and we can figure something out.

Why ChipIn? We tested a number of different tools and methods for collecting contributions from a wide ranging group in a fairly short amount of time and this was the best solution we could find.

The date has finally be confirmed and Kristin's retirement party will be held Friday June 5th at the University Club in Kingston, Ontario

Kristin is retiring from teaching this year. June 13th is her last day and her retirement party dates are pending.

After manyconversations about what she would like and/or need for her retirementwe've found that she would like a MacBook, and LOVE a MacBook Air.

We thought, rather mom getting a bunch of cards and gag gifts from everyone, that this would be a perfect group gift.

UsingChipIn.com, it's possible for people to contribute as much as they canor want to. You can use your credit card or paypal account tocontribute anything from a couple of dollars to a couple of hundreddollars.
