elevated I'd be happy to hear your suggestions. Please check your pm box for more information.

edit I will say one thing. The charity we are interested in will most likely focus on one aspect of education:

1. Arts -- These charities use various art forms in education including theatre, poetry, music and new media.

2. International -- Help spread education to poor communities worldwide and to girls in countries where they are traditionally excluded from educational opportunities.

3. Special needs -- Help educate adults and children with special needs by supporting one of these charities. They work to improve the lives of the disabled and those with learning difficulties.

4. Youth -- These charities educate young people how to be better citizens and live better, more fulfilling lives.

5. Schools -- Thousands of schools rely on donations to fund their brilliant work with children, including independent, special needs and faith schools.

Update on Hotel..........
The posting of the hotel information and how to book is a little late, sorry about that. A few extra negotiations have taken place that have extended our time frame they are allowing us to book for the special rate (a good thing), extension of the special rate for a full four day period of the heelmeet and some paperwork, contracts etc. I am faxing the contracts off on Monday and we will be all set by the end of the week to start booking. We have the booking code and instructions.
This hotel has gone the extra mile to accommodate us and make us welcome.
Stay tuned for the hotel booking thread to be posted next weekend (June 16/17)

Countdown....251 days to the 2008 World Heelmeet!

Put your thinking caps on now so you can link up with a friend you've made here on HHPlace, start PM'ing your friends now so when we announce the Hotel and Booking Instructions you'll be all set to go. Dr. Shoe and Kneehighs had a great suggestion to help those who do not have any links to a friend etc. to set up a "Roomie Connection". When we announce the Hotel/Booking Instructions we will also start a "Roomie Connection" service through a PM to iLoveBoots. The goal is to make sure members who want to attend can do so economically and eliminate as many obstacles as possible. The World Heelmeet truly is a wonderful experience and the more members we have attending the more enjoyable it will be for everyone and many members will discover that there are many many Heel Friends out there to share their experiences with.

Countdown to the 2008 World Heelmeet..................264 days !!!!!!!

Can't wait for the information! I wonder if they will discount my Wed night stay? Anyhow, good to see you are making progress on the hotel arrangements and thanks again for your help.

Yuppers....that is one of the additional items we were able to achieve these past few days of negotiations. The special rate will be available to all rooms booked by the group members for wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday nights.
Very cool!

Countdown.....250 days to 2008 World Heelmeet......just like the Olympic clock!!

How many of you have DIGGED the World Heel Meet Thread?

Just what is Digg.com?
Alot of you might be wondering what is Digg.com? Here is the answer as provided by Wikipedia, "News stories and websites are submitted by users, and then promoted to the front page through a user-based ranking system. This differs from the hierarchical editorial system that many other news sites employ."

Why should I take the time to submit the WHM 2008 to Digg?
This is a great question. Wikipedia addresses the benefits of social bookmarking here. Basically, instead of allowing the algorithimic processes of Google and Yahoo searches to determine the visibility of information, Digg gives control to the user. The user in this case would be hhplace.org members. The more hhplace.org users we can have DIGG the World Heel Meet 2008, the more visibility for our community we will create. The more visibility for our community we create, the more people we draw out of the closet and the more people we draw out of the closet, the more accepted our community will eventually become.

It only takes five minutes to register for an account! Remember, shortly we will announce a charity that we will be raising money for. This will be a great way to associate our community with a constructive cause. The more visibility we can create for ourselves that is positive, the better.

So lets get going!

David and Cathy, Thank you for taking the short amount of time to sign up for a DIGG account and promote the heel meet. I know of a few other enthusiastic heel meet attendees who have yet to DIGG the World Heel Meet post.
