Happy Spring! Group: Administrators Posts: 27,473 Member No.: 2 Joined: 8-February 03	A few months ago, we had talked about taking up a collection and giving to a charity as a group. Those that want to participate can, but no one is require or should feel like they have to give. So, I am looking for suggestions for a charity to give to. We'll pick a few and put up a poll and vote on it. Please try to keep it to National organizations. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

I read a piece on it a month or so ago- a very effective, well run organization that is making a HUGE difference: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/default.htm -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

I will look into that more. They were thrown into something no one could help and don't even have a home yet. --------------------

Funny, the guy who was my dad's best man started that charity (Jimmy Murray - also was the general manager for the Phil. Eagles years ago). He doesn't run it anymore, and he doesn't have many nice things to say about it anymore unfortunately. -------------------- The Administrators of the Parenting Club take violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.
