Saluting the hero in your life, ways to save, and celebrating an amazing life. Here’s TODAY’s look at the coolest, most exclusive, not-to-be-missed Gather experiences of the day.
(1.) Imagine being flown to Washington, DC for Veteran’s Day weekend, being put up in a hotel, handed VIP seats to an Arlington National Cemetery event, and attending a private reception following the ceremony. Sounds like treatment reserved for Senators and Heads of State, but you too could enjoy this honor.
The experience outlined above is the grand prize of Gather’s writing competition, “A Hero in My Life”. Tell us about your hero and you could win the experience of a lifetime. But you must act fast, submissions to this contest close at midnight tonight. Learn more about this opportunity by visiting veterans.gather.com.
(2.) Want to earn some extra money on the side? How about get practical advice on ways to save? Then I suggest you check out Mandi’s money advice column. Mandi is one of Gather’s Money Correspondents and she always has great tips for making and saving your hard earned cash. Check out her most recent article “Saving for the Average Person: Make Extra Money For Real!” For more info from Mandi, visit her namespace at Mandi.gather.com
(3.) Thanks to Gather’s “Picture More Points” promotion, there’s been a lot of great conversation on Gather lately about the art of photography. With that in mind, I’d like to take a moment to shine the spotlight on Gather Member Layla who profiles a different Gather photographer each week. This week Layla introduces us to Eric I., who has a truly amazing life story. For a closer look at Layla’s weekly profiles, click here. To read her riveting interview with Eric I, click here.
(4.) Time now to announce the winning photographer and commenter in Gather’s “Picture More Points” promotion. (say that three times fast!) Wednesday’s winner was Trudy P.’s image called, “FoxgloveGilroy Gardens, Gilroy CA”. Sherry W. wins the prize for the most prolific comment on the winning photo. Congratulations to you both!
TODAY is Friday, June 29th, 2007. Team Gather will be on the lookout for your movie reviews all weekend long. If you see “Ratatouille,” “Sicko,” “Live Free or Die Harder” write a review and post it to movies.gather.com. On Monday we’ll feature your review in our “Hot Ticket!” series

And Jessie, you're right... prolific does mean numerous... but an alternative definition is :
"intellectually productive; "a prolific writer"; "a fecund imagination" [syn: fecund]"... that's what I was going for in my article above. I certainly hope I used the word properly!!!!
Have a great Friday everyone... and a safe and happy 4th of July! I'm on vacation next week, so your daily TODAY articles will be written by other members of Team Gather! I know everyone will enjoy getting their daily updates from a different voice and perspective.
Have a great week!!!
