Climbing up

     The trade has been made and now there's a new item in Penny #2's path.  The Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS traded it's way up in the 6th trade.  Justin made me an offer I couldn't refuse and has earned himself 1% of the profits from the final item in Penny #2's path once it's sold for cash.  Confused?  It's actually very easy.  Make an offer that I can't refuse for one of the items in The Penny Race and, if your offer is accepted, you'll earn yourself the predetermined percentage of the profits (Check the InCENTives To Trade page for percentages to be earned).  

     If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.  This is a fun social experiment and is to benefit not only my daughter Farrah, but will help out Winnipeg Harvest and You as a trader in The Penny Race.  Let's see what we can trade a couple of pennies up to, but most of all

 Let's Trade, Winnipeg!

Just a little Update

     Such great news!  Another trade has been scheduled and will happen tomorrow (Saturday).  I've probably said this too many times, but every time an offer comes in that I accept, all I can think is how amazing it is that a couple of pennies can trade their way up to such cool things.  Just think, in September of 2010, I had 3 pennies.  Now, Pennies To A Dream has been able to trade those 3 pennies up to a mini flip camcorder,  a Garmin GPS, and $1500 worth of landscaping/paving labor.  Now, the GPS is getting traded tomorrow!

     This trade should be fun and I can't wait to work with this Winnipeg based business that made me such a generous offer.  Please stop by the blog tomorrow night to see what offer was made that I couldn't refuse. 

A little goes a long way

     

     With the recent changes to the InCENTives To Trade, those of you that have viewed the ITT page may have noticed that 20% of the profits from each penny will be donated to Winnipeg Harvest.  With over 50% of the people that need Winnipeg Harvest being children, Pennies To A Dream has decided that this organization is one of the charities in Winnipeg that is in most need of donations.  They do amazing work for Winnipeg and handled about 11 Million pounds of food for the 2010 year, feeding over 55,000 people...29,000 of those being children.  I'm sure you've heard the statements "People Gotta Eat" and "No Child Should Go To Bed Hungry"....both are more true than most of us think and help is needed now!  If you've ever been extremely hungry, you've had a small taste of what a very large number of Winnipeg families face every day.....some days eating nothing at all.  This is where Winnipeg Harvest helps out, but at the same time, Winnipeg Harvest needs our help too!

     Donations of food and/or money can be donated through the Winnipeg Harvest website, and you can even apply to volunteer your time to help out this amazing organization.  There is an urgent need for food and we can all do our part to help.  Make a trade in The Penny Race, so that we can increase the values of each item.  The Bigger & Better the final items are at the end of the race, the more we can donate to this great non-profit organization. 

     Please take the time to visit their website and see more information about this great group.

Just a little update!

     It's been an interesting couple of weeks and have some good news....another trade is being arranged for this weekend for the Ceiling Fan, so stay tuned to see what it's getting traded up to.  This trade was accepted before the end of the Easter/Birthday Bonus, so this next trader will be receiving the bonus even though the trade is a week later.  That's an extra 3% InCENTive To Trade!   I also enjoyed the trade from the Tattoo to the $1500 worth of Landscaping/paving labor and can't wait to see what that will trade up to.  I can only imaging the amazing ideas that the next trader will have for his or her yard, and with summer quickly approaching, this trade came at the right time.  Now, I just need to find a trader for the Mini-Flip Camcorder and this month will be ultra-fantastic!  Let your friends and family know about The Penny Race, and make me an offer I can't refuse for one of these amazing items in the race.  Changes are still being made to the ITT, which will benefit future traders, so stay tuned for the changes by adding your email address to the mailing list.  Don't forget to follow Penniestoadream on Facebook and Twitter for all updates.  Don't miss out!  I love hearing from all of you, so please don't hesitate to leave a comment on the bottom of any of the posts.
