Dear Friend,
I hope you saw this.
Who would have thought that my impulse buy of Peace by Chocolate to give US President Joe Biden would be the CBC "Moment?"
Well, I want to share that moment and pass it along.
My new friend Tareq Hadhad, founder and CEO of Peace by Chocolate, is letting me buy a LOT of chocolate, making sure I have the very same chocolate bar I gave the president - the bright yellow wrapper that says PEACE. The Hadhads have the bar available in twenty languages, including the Mi'kmaq word for peace, Wantaqo’ti. But I figured that we should keep the Green Party connection going with the same bar that caused a stir when President Biden could not find where Justin Trudeau had put it!
And the timing is great, because our wonderful new ED, Kevin Dunbar, just told me we have a rather challenging funding gap to our budgeted plan for the first quarter - ending March 31 - to rebuild our funds to be election-ready!
With local friends in Saanich-Gulf Islands, I'll be packing up the bars and mailing them from here in Sidney, BC, so let me know if you want a personalized note for you or maybe make it a gift for someone you love! Reply to this email and tell me what you want me to say!
I know you could buy your chocolate for less, but please join in my plan for a Spring donation for Peace by Chocolate (all their proceeds go to help refugees) also helping the Green Party have that spring in our step!
Please donate $365 - one dollar for Peace for every day of the year - to have your Peace Bar (milk chocolate and hazelnut) mailed out to you! Or donate $400 and get 2 bars, plus be a member of the 400 Club, including the 'sweetest' tax credit available -75%! That means your donation only costs you $100 after your tax credit.
DonateThanks so much for all your past support.
Share the love and share the peace. And save the planet - it is the only one with chocolate!
Elizabeth
