What a great way to pick up some great gifts and give the best gift of all…Inclusion For All Kids!!

This is a way we can make a difference in the lives of so many children!

The following are a few facts about this National Inclusion Project Fundraiser…

  •         The deadline for holiday orders is December 1, 2011
  •         Sales Goal…$20,000 – We can do this if we sell 3000 units!
  •         Products are made in the USA
  •         Shelf life is 24 months

These items make great gifts.  This is an easy way to get gifts for staff, coworkers, clients, teachers, your choir director or even your favorite nurse.

For a more elaborate gift, why not combine the pasta with some related gifts and put them in a basket.  You could combine the Vineyard Pasta with a nice bottle of wine.  Someone at the CB suggested a basket with The Chili Mix, tortilla chips, and a bottle of Margherita Mix.  What a good idea!

The Webpage is full of so many types of gifts and food.  You just might get lost in it!!

Clay Aiken – You Go – Team Clay!!

By musicfan123 · Comments (22)
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

Tuesday was an exciting day for fans of Clay Aiken!  Clay was involved with the men of Celebrity Apprentice, trying to sell as many sandwiches as possible and make more money than the other team.

During the day, there were lots of tweets, pictures and messages that were posted. First we learned that Clay’s team was at Café Metro and then we learned that Clay was working the cash register!

Members of the team were outside, trying to get the patrons inside, while others served the sandwiches.  Some amazing tweets came in saying that some one actually paid $300,000 for a sandwich!

Clay fans seem to always come through.  Today, Dancemom, from CV was able to contact her husband and ask him to “buy a sandwich.”  And, being the great photographer that he is, DancerDad took some wonderful pictures.  Dancermon was kind enough to give us permission to post the pictures here…BUT…Please…do not post these pictures at the OFC.

Enjoy the pictures and:

 ~YOU GO…TEAM CLAY!! ~

Clay Aiken – Amazing People!

By musicfan123 · Comments (23)
Friday, September 9th, 2011

If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies. 

~Author Unknown

Yesterday, the National Inclusion Project announced a rather big change in their schedule.  This change affected many people, some in a good way and some in a disappointing way.  The best thing that happened yesterday was seeing the positive way that each person involved responded to the change.  The ClayNation is made up of amazing people!!

I thought you might want to know more about the Fletcher Auditorium.  A part of the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts this 600-seat theater offers an intimate surrounding for the performances.  Officially named The Fletcher Opera Theater, the farthest balcony seat is less than 70 feet from the stage

I am excited that we will have an “expanded performance” by Clay Aiken.  It will be like a mini-Joyful Noise Concert!!

Do you have a favorite Holiday song you hope Clay sings at the Gala concert?  It might be fun to gather some info.  So, lets have two lists:  one for your favorite holiday song Clay has recorded and the other for a holiday song he has not yet recorded.  Christmas in September??  Why not!!  I’ll even keep track and let you know the results!!

Clay Aiken – It’s Pepsi Time

By musicfan123 · Comments (5)
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

The following E-mail was sent out to many supporters of the National Inclusion Project on August 2nd.

We Need Your Help!

www.refresheverything.com/inclusionproject

We have been accepted and are competing in the Pepsi Refresh contest for $50K in August!

Pepsi has adjusted the format of the contest. Here are the updates:

  • There is no rollover month to month. We either win in August or we are out!
  • You can still vote 3 ways: Facebook, our direct Pepsi page, and text.
  • Our direct Pepsi page: www.refresheverything.com/inclusionproject
  • Text 108169 to Pepsi 73774.
  • You have 5 votes for each method of voting every day. You can only place one vote per method per day to a given idea.
  • POWER VOTES: Find Power Votes on specially marked Pepsi products. Go to www.refersheverything.com, click on power votes, enter the code and they give you a number of extra votes. All of the power votes can be voted for a single idea. You can “cash in” 10 power vote codes daily. The number of power votes you win may be as few as 5 or could be 100 or more.
  • There are 10 winners in the $50K category which is now the highest award possible.

Click here to sign up to receive a daily reminder to vote!

Thank you for your support!

The following are some hints for using Power Votes from

SueReu!

In case anyone has questions regarding the power voting, here’s some step by step instructions:

1. You must be logged through Pepsi Refresh – not Facebook. You can log out and log in at the lower left corner of the Refresh screen.
2. Along the top of the page are several links – look for the yellow link that’s titled “Power Vote” and click on that link
3. Enter the power code in the white area and click “activate”
4. Once activated, it will give you the number of additional votes (anywhere between 5 and 100). Right under the number of additional votes, there are two links. If you activated your code after voting for National Inclusion Project or if you used the Project’s link to access the site, you want to click on the link that says “return to your last idea” and it will take you right back to the Project’s voting page
5. You will see a yellow voting tab that says “Power Vote” – all of your additional votes will be cast at one time
6. You can activate up to 10 individual power codes per day

Let’s get ‘er done!!!!

The National Inclusion Project makes an impact with thousands of children nationwide and raises the national consciousness about the need for and benefits of inclusion.

So…contact your friends, relatives and boss!!  We all need to step up and help win $50,000 for

The National Inclusion Project!!

Clay Aiken – Dust Off The Voting Fingers!

By musicfan123 · Comments (8)
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

For fans of Clay Aiken, it’s time to start dusting off the voting fingers, make a list of friends and family that will help you and find out who you know that drinks Pepsi products. We are about to support another Pepsi Challenge Grant.

Jerry Aiken is the Executive Director of the National Inclusion Project.  On Tuesday, he wrote the following on Facebook:

The National Inclusion Project will be entering the 2011 Pepsi Challenge soon. Hopefully all our friends will take us to victory again! In the interim please collect the Power Vote numbers from specially marked Pepsi products. Do not enter the codes yet; once you do you have to vote that day. Power voting will allow all of the votes you win to go to one idea! More to come- thanks!

Pepsi is skipping out of large ad campaigns to invest in a socially – conscious media push. Pepsi’s “Refresh Everything” campaign asks consumers to think up ideas that will make the world a better place, promising $20 million in grant money to fund the winning causes.

So what does a community have to do to get the money? Well, that is the neat part about this project. Pepsi wanted the money to be available to ANYBODY that has an idea that would benefit their community, not just big corporations with whole staffs of grant writers. They also wanted the money to go to ideas that the general public would like to see supported, so they developed a voting system. If you are an U.S. residents over the age of 13, you can vote.

Labeled “crowdfunding”, this type of campaign is a growing trend. Pepsi is experimenting with the power of the crowd. Instead of taking donations from a large number of individuals, they’re sourcing ideas. Using the Pepsi’s Refresh Project people can create communities that pitch ideas for charitable projects. People vote on the ideas and Pepsi makes those projects a reality. What Pepsi is most likely counting on is the reach of individuals to their networks. People push their “refresh” ideas to their networks through social media in order to generate more votes and in turn, more love for the Pepsi brand.

According to the Pepsi Refresh Website there is a new twist to the Pepsi Refresh Project this time around.

Consumers can now earn bonus votes for their favorite ideas simply by purchasing a Pepsi product with new “Power Voting” feature. Voting will open for the first time in 2011 on May 1 for the Pepsi Refresh Project and consumers are encouraged to cast their vote on www.RefreshEverything.com – giving them the power to decide which ideas are funded. Each month, Pepsi is giving away more than $1 million to 60 ideas that move communities forward.  This year, Pepsi is also offering consumers the chance to make their votes go even further for the ideas that they believe will create a better, more vibrant world with Power Voting.

So…let’s get a head start on the voting this time around.  Although we can’t use the codes yet, we can start today to collect the codes for the Power Voting. Choose from the products below to find your Power Vote code location.

20 oz bottle
Pepsi, Diet Pepsi or Pepsi MAX (bottle cap)

2 liter bottle
Pepsi, Diet Pepsi or Pepsi MAX (bottle cap)

12-can package
Pepsi, Diet Pepsi or Pepsi MAX

20-can package
Pepsi, Diet Pepsi or Pepsi MAX

24-can package
Pepsi, Diet Pepsi or Pepsi MAX

It is easy to find the code. It should be under the bottle cap or printed on the inside of your multi-pack.

So, while we await more information, check with your friends, community organizations, and family members to see if they will help collect the Power Vote Codes…AND…be ready to vote for the National Inclusion Project.

CANN will keep you informed of the schedule and will post the time schedule, the rules and all the instructions from Jerry and the National Inclusion Project.

This is a great way to help support the Project.  It will cost us nothing but a few minutes each day.  Can the National Inclusion Project count on your help?

Clay Aiken – Life Goes On

By musicfan123 · Comments (17)
Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Although Clay Aiken has been on a break from his celebrity career, life still is full of many interesting things in the “ClayNation.”

The National Inclusion Project released its annual report this week.  Every time I read about the achievements of this organization, I feel so proud.

  • I am proud of Clay and Diane for planting the seed and starting the ball rolling.
  • I am proud of the entire staff and board of the National Inclusion Project.  Each  person is dedicated to making inclusion something that is a part of every day life.
  • I am proud of all the fans who participate in whatever way they can to make sure that children with disabilities have the same experiences as those without.
  • I am proud that The National Inclusion Project is a national leader for social inclusion.
  • I am proud that 22,000 children have been supported by the organization.
  • I am proud that over $6 million has been spent in support of their kids.
  • I am proud that the National Inclusion Project continues to receive a 4-star Charity Navigator rating placing them among the best-managed charities.

To read the entire Annual Report visit the National Inclusion Project site.

The 2011 Fan Fest will take place this weekend in York, PA.  Diane Knappy, known to Clay fans as “Cookie”, hosts the event.  The event runs from 10 a.m. Saturday through Sunday at noon at the Yorktowne Hotel.

The weekend event will include live and silent auctions, raffles, contests, great food, friendships and fun.  Clay Aiken’s mom, Faye Parker will be a special guest at the event.  She will be speaking about the National Inclusion Project.

In 2010, the Fan Fest raised about $3,000 for the National Inclusion and they are hoping to top that amount this year.  Will you be there this weekend?

The wonderfully talented SueReu finished the 3rd part of her triptych on Clay Aiken and his unique way of saying thank-you.   Be sure and get out the tissues before you start the video.  I think this is the very best of all.

This time, Sue turns the tables and reminds us that we need to say thank you to Clay!!  Thank you, Sue…you  have a real talent and I am so glad you share it with us!

Clay Aiken – A Cool Dad!

By musicfan123 · Comments (8)
Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

It is always great to read positive things about Clay Aiken. On Monday, the fun website, Your Tango, published an article titled,  “6 Coolest Gay Celebrity Dads. From Neil Patrick Harris to Clay Aiken, these dads aren’t shy about embracing fatherhood.”

Kayda Norman, the writer of the article said the following about Clay:

Clay Aiken. Though the former American Idol contestant may not have been quite as vocal about fatherhood as others on this list, the birth of his son did give him courage to come out of the closet.

“I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that,” Clay said (via People.com), about a month after his son was born.

And rather than go the route of adoption or surrogate, the singer and his good friend Jaymes Foster used artificial insemination to bring about son Parker Foster Aiken. More than anything, Clay strives to raise his son in a loving environment, which, in our opinion, makes him one of the coolest dads out there.

Thank you, Kayda for writing an article that is both accurate and respectful.  Be sure and visit the site to read then entire article and be sure and leave a comment to let Kayda know you appreciate her article.  Cool Dads

This is just a reminder that the general admission tickets to the National Inclusion Project Champions Gala go on sale today, Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at noon EST.

Evening Activities:

  • Honoree Recognition
  • Dinner

Here at CANN, some of our readers have asked about leaving comments at the daily articles.  So…I hope I can answer some of your questions.

First. anyone can leave a comment.  Click on the number that is next to the word comment.  The word and number are found at both the top and bottom of the article.  You must be on the home page to see the comment numbers.  If you don’t see it, push the home button at the top, left corner of the site.

Next, there will be a comment box to type in your comment.  You need to fill in whatever name you want to show on the site plus an e-mail address (we don’t show it).  Then, just hit “Submit Comment.”  It is real easy!!

Don’t forget that I approve each comment so what you write might not show up immediately.  I have chosen to approve the comments because I want CANN to be a positive place that supports Clay Aiken.  Your comments don’t have to agree with me, and I encourage discussion.  However, if you choose to write derogatory comments about Clay, they will not be approved.

Again, a huge “thank you” for all your support!!  If you have any suggestions or ideas for articles, please e-mail me at:  musicfan@claynewsnetwork.com

Quote of the Day

It is not always about performance art, but about receiving positive energy from people with positive spirits. Sometimes we can see someone's spirit, and those are the people with great energy. Those are the people that get me through the day, especially on Broadway. -Clay Aiken
