Tidbits 1/13

The CB's mu99le has found some new UNICEF Snowflake lighting photos from November. Check them out here.

• The CB's tiggy52winkle says Clay was mentioned on the TV Guide channel today. Apparently, the segment was taped back in the summer when Clay and Claymates together helped raised over $70,000 for the children of Lebanon.

  Just flipping channels and Kimberly Caldwell is interviewing Clay. I've seen this before but never heard him telling about the biggest gift from all of this being the support of his fans, not just for him but for the things that are important to him. He talked about our UNICEF donation, that within 1 day we had donated $30,000 and within 3 days over $70,000. I've seen this several times but never heard the UNICEF bit. Is this new?? So nice to hear him bragging on his fans. Just love the man!!!
