I have a few odds and ends to let you know about so I’m combining it all into one update.

AT Online Projects: We will be doing another birthday project this year to benefit Sanctuary for Kids. The information will be posted a few weeks from now and you’ll have until August to get it to us. There will also be another virtual event to benefit Sanctuary for Kids. We’re currently planning VAT2 and have lots of fun things to fill a weekend and some items to auction off.

Favour Magazine: Amanda was featured in the latest issue of Favour Magazine. Thanks to Jen for sending in the scan.

Peace Fund Radio: If you missed Amanda talking about Sanctuary for Kids on Peace Fund Radio, the entire show for that day is in their archives here. Amanda is at the beginning and continues for most of the show.

Fan Project: Some fans are putting together a video for Amanda’s birthday. Head on over to the tumblr page for it and check it out. It looks like all you have to do is fill in the blank and finish the phrase.

Everyone knows we’re (as a fandom) trying to get Amanda a star of Canada’s Walk of Fame right? You’ve all been nominating her constantly and I’m being fed all the newest information as it becomes available to spread to all of you. The newest bit of information has given me a wonderful idea.

On the Walk of Fame’s facebook page someone asked a very good question.

This has given me an idea. I’m going to make a video and send it to the WoF people. But I’m going to need everyone’s help.

On a sheet of paper I need you to write/draw/create a very short message that best describes why Amanda embodies all of their criteria and deserves a star more than anyone else. For example, “Environmentally minded. Produced a completely green tv show, from the green screen down to the reusable water bottles everyone had to use.” Take a picture of you holding the piece of paper and email it to me at amandatappingonline@gmail.com. You don’t have to be in the picture, you can scan it and email it to me as well. This can be as simple or as complex as you chose to make it but remember you only get one sheet of paper per idea and it has to be written large enough to be read on a video.

Now the fun part. Send me a short (no more than 1:30) clip of you saying one reason why Amanda, more than any other Canadian, should get a star. Remember to keep it as short as possible. We don’t want a video so long it loses their interest. If you want to talk through your idea or have a great idea to add to the video, you can email me, or ask me on facebook/twitter.

To clarify, the paper and the video are not required to be the same reason. You can use the paper as a “short and sweet” version of your reason and the video as a more thought out approach if you want or have two completely different reasons. You also do not have to participate in both parts of the video. You may just do one if you prefer.

The deadline for this is April 25. That gives you two weeks to send me everything you can. I know it’s not a lot of time but if it’s not submitted by April 29, it won’t be considered for this year.

On Wednesday April 3 at 11am PST, Amanda will be talking to Adrian Paul and Ethan Dettenmaier on Peace Fund Radio about Sanctuary for Kids.

In order to listen, go to LA Talk Radio and click on the “listen live” link on the right. They even have a call in number (1-818-602-4929) if you’d like to ask Amanda about S4K. The subject of this chat will be S4K, so please try to keep your questions centered on that. The show will be available later in their archives if you’re unable to listen live.

I’ll be posting a reminder the day of on both facebook and twitter so if you forget, I’ll remind you.

PEACE Fund Radio provides a platform for smaller charities to publicise their causes and in so doing share fundraising strategies with the not-for-profit community. It is also a platform for PEACE to publicise its own fundraising initiatives as well as highlighting inspirational PEACE Action Heroes – children and adults who set out to make a positive difference. Peace Fund Radio is sponsored by Vic and Judy Speechley in memory of their daughter Victoria, who worked tirelessly for The PEACE Fund.

Amanda announced that she’ll be directing the 12th episode of the second season of Continuum. Season Two premieres on April 21.

Continuum airs on Syfy (Mondays) in the US and Showcase (Sundays) in Canada.

When a group of fanatical terrorists escapes from their planned execution in the year 2077, they vault back in time to the year 2012, sweeping dedicated cop, KIERA CAMERON, along on their time-traveling journey. Stuck in the past and unable to get back to her husband and son, Kiera concentrates on bringing down the terrorists before they can wreak havoc in the past. Kiera receives unexpected assistance from ALEC SADLER, a teen tech genius who becomes a crime-fighting partner to this exotic visitor from the future.

I’ve added six behind the scenes pictures from the SAVE BC Film PSA that Amanda did in January. Special thanks to Jessica for finding these.
