			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our favorite blogland red head is at it again.  Tricia has become involved with a special orphanage in Guatemala.  Special because it houses children who are not up for adoption.  They will live in the orphanage until age 16 and then be transitioned out.</p>
<p>And our Tricia is the ultimate party planner &#8211; both professionally and personally.  She is planning ahead to give these kids a happy Christmas so they aren&#8217;t forgotten come December.  Tricia is even headed down to help throw the party in December.  And being Tricia, she would never solicit something for nothing.  She is offering chances to win gift cards and items worth $280 to those who are able to donate to the cause.</p>
<p><a href="http://ourguatemalanbaby.blogspot.com/2008/06/christmas-in-june-gigantic-giveaway.html" target="_blank">Go visit Tricia here</a> (soak up some Sofia and Victoria cuteness while you are there) to find out more.  Help her ensure a fabulous holiday season for these kiddos.</p>
