TV Show

It looks like we might have the ball rolling in our efforts with the state.

A lady named Marcella, who is well versed in the laws and dealing with the state will be appearing on a tv show entitled "The Public Report." I believe she is discussing another case on this episode, but rumor has it whe will have a picture of Spencer with her and mention our case as well. Not exactly sure what it will entail but I am hopeful that some light will be shed. She has also been instrumental in getting us a meeting with Senator Mike Carroll later this month.

Here is the info on the show. "The Public Report" will air on August 22, 2008 at 10:00 am, It is playing on KTBW, or it may be listed as TBN. I am fairly certain this is channel 20 for the Seattle area. It will air an additional 4 times during the week - 12:30am Saturday, 8:30am Monday, 12:30am Tuesday, 12:30am Thursday.

Buy a CD to support Spencer's Gift

The worhsip pastor at our church, Matt Tipton has graciously pledged to donate $1 from every CD he sells to Spencer's Gift.

Matt is a gifted artist who wrote and produced the entire album himself. The CD's are on sale for only $10. For more info on how to purchase one, just shoot me an email.

We Got Bumped

The BJ Shea show had a special guest comedian in that reduced the Listener's On The Loose segment and we got bumped. The show is not on next Friday so we have re-scheduled for Friday the 22nd.

KISW Radio Link

You can listen to the radio spot tomorrow morning by clicking here.

On the upper right side of the homepage you will see a box to click that says "Listen Live." Once you click on listen live, you can choose one of two media players (the second one is easier and requires no download.) Simply click on it and the media player will launch.

I confirmed today that I will be on some time around 8:30.

Mailing Address

We now have a mailing address for donations.

Spencer's Gift
P.O. Box 14368
Mill Creek, WA 98082

Almost ready

The paperwork is nearly ready to be filed and we are in the process of setting up a bank account, a post office box, and getting a phone number.

Thank you to those that have already sent in donations. We are currently trying to raise about $1000.00 for start up costs, $750.00 of which goes to the IRS for our tax exempt status. We are not able to open our bank account or PO Box until we have our tax id number. If you or someone you know is comfortable donating without us having our tax exempt status yet, we would love to start accepting more donations. We have software set up to generate receipts and will send those out for your tax deduction purposes as soon as we get registered. If you would like to give, please E-mail me and I will give you donation instructions. Once we get our PO Box, I will post it on the site.

We also had a brainstorming session recently to gather ideas for fund raising, and discuss logistics of getting started. If you have any ideas for fundraising or other suggestions, we would love to hear them. Simply post a comment to this post or email us by clicking here.

Thanks again for all your support.
