Anybody else get this e-mail?

My name is Jane Vargus. I found your art on the web. It is beautiful. I am a designer for the Mary Bridge children's Hospital Festival of trees. This year I am creating a tree called A Gift of Glass. Each year the trees are auctioned off in a gala auction after being viewed by thousands of individuals the previous week. It will be covered with one of a kind glass pieces and/or ornaments in brilliant colors of hot pink, lime, orange purple, yellow..etc. and surrounded by glass objects, all items by premier glass artists.(This is my plan, at least) I wonder if you would be willing to donate any thing to add to the tree. I would send you a procurement form so you could write off your donation. You will be listed as a sponsor and it goes to a wonderful cause. Even glass that you might reject would be wonderful on this tree. Children in the hospital that are well enough will be stringing together a garland of hand blown beads, so even a single bead would be greatly appreciated. I would be glad to speak with you in person if you would like. I can be reached at ........... Thank you for your consideration. I have included a website that explains the festival in greater detail. www.marybridge.org/fot

Sincerely

Jane Vargus

It looks legit to me. there is a festival of trees in Atlanta the decorated trees
are donated and auctioned off to the highest bidder and the money goes to
a childrens hospital. I usually make ornaments that go on the Atlanta Glass
Art Guild tree, which we donate each year.

I did a google search immediately after receiving the email and found a legit hospital website verifying the programs existance/intentions. It's been going on for years, looks like GA.org just made their job of recruiting artists easier....lol.
