Win $100,000 for NUSD ... Together We Can Do This!

Click to Vote for "'The Legendary Rombeiro Christmas House on Devonshire." Vote daily till Jan. 8. Pass this along!

For the ones who know me, I never pass up a good challenge; especially one that will net a much-needed $100,000 for Novato public schools just by getting our friends, family and community members involved. Not to mention, Novato Patch is one of the best Patch sites and has probably the most readership in the country!

Patch announced the ‘Deck Your House and Win $100,000 for Novato Public Schools’ contest on Dec. 9, and I thought to myself: SURELY, TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS! 

All we need to do is to get started, especially with the perfect house right here in Novato for the past 20 years! We can at least say we tried.
