the roof, the roof, the roof needs replaced!

I know too well how that can be, as the roof on my house was replaced at the start of the pandemic in this country.

So when Wesley Oak put the news out about this fundraiser, I was excited to help!

"RAISE THE ROOF"

LOW COUNTRY BOIL

 

YES SIRREE.. WE ARE RAISING THE JOY COTTAGE ROOF ONE SHRIMP AT A TIME! COME OUT FOR A DELICIOUS DINNER OF SHRIMP, POTATO, CORN, AND SAUSAGE. NOT TO MENTION, THERE WILL BE DESSERTS TO ENJOY!

THE DONATION FOR A DINNER IS $10 PER PLATE

 

Oh, yeah!

I could get on that train!

Here's the thing, though: I kept forgetting to buy tickets for it when I was at church, and I didn't remember to call during the day.

Oh no!

But I went anyway...

hoping, hoping, hoping...

and they gladly let me 'trade' $40 for four plates of food!

Hooray!

Glad I could help, y'all!

(smile!)

watching movies to help kids!

Seriously!

I could scarce believe it myself when I was approached with the idea.

But there the offer was, and from the cable TV company of all things.

Seriously!

Here's the hook used.

 

"Enjoy a $1 movie this weekend, and Xfinity Rewards will match the purchase and donate to BUILD.org, up to $100,000."

 

I know, there's a catch, right?

It's going to cost me a dollar to rent a movie.

But, that's any movie I want, up to $5.99 rental, to enjoy for two days or three days, depending on the movie.

Oh, and there's one more catch.

I have to select the movie by midnight on Sunday.

Yeah, that won't be an issue.

Oh, plus there's another caveat: the offer must be claimed every weekend.

It doesn't automatically enroll me for subsequent weekends.

Yeah, that won't be an issue, either.

The fundraiser for BUILD.org will run every weekend this month and next.

That's a total of nine - 9!!! - movies for a buck, for me.

I don't know if "match the purchase" means Comcast is donating the dollar or if they're donating the usual rental fee for the movies I choose.

If the latter is the case, then the group that helps underprivileged teens learn how to be entrepreneurs will be receiving $3.99 for each of the two movies I've rented.

If the former is the deal, then they'll still be getting $1 per movie.

Either way, it's money they did not have before.

That's a winner in my book!

Thanks, Comcast, for making me a deal I couldn't refuse!
