Le Scandinave Spa: Blue Mountain. One of my favourite places on Earth has donated passes to their scandinavian baths to the Team Diabetes auction! The Scandinavian Baths are renowned for their ability to cleanse the skin and provide a sense of well-being. You can try the Finnish Sauna, Norwegian Steam Bath, Thermal & Nordic Waterfalls, as well as Hot Baths & Cold Plunges. Coming up for bid September 1st 2009.

I am in the midst of preparing an online charity auction for Team Diabetes that will run for the month of September. Momentum for item donation picked up today as I recieved three more items. The nicest conversation I had was with Russ at Rusty Cellars which is a make your own wine establishment. Russ has generously donated one of his Showcase Collection.

Keep your eyes open for more info on the auction. Hopefully there will be some great deals!
