That's a good one. Maybe each year we could benefit a different animal
shelter. How about this: I can helm this project if you'd like -- I was the first Fundraising Director for Greenpeace San Francisco (one of the first Greenpeace offices in the US). So I nominate myself for this RCB position (whatever it's called!). Needy causes abound. How about if we start out the first year doing 4 fundraising auctions -- one every 3 months? That would give us ample time to make something to donate. If we have an abundance of items, they can be divided up into several (3?) auctions to garner more $$. Or whatever works (this is all off the top of my head). I'd like to donate to nonprofit agencies that put most of their donation $$ into the remedy, not the overhead. And try to give to timely causes -- for instace, right now the Bush administration is trying to demolish environmental protections in order to give big businesses a boost. It's evil and it's Right Now. We can find an organization that's trying to do something to protect against this assault on our natural resources, for one. We're all into our animals, and others' animals -- their safety and good treatment. So an animal shelter every year is a great idea. My mom knows a lot about this area, and I can ask her which ones put their money where their needs are (and not salaries and perks). Breast cancer is one I'd like to do every October! Too late this year for a project, but next year, yeah! (My mom is a breast cancer survivor -- 17 years!). That speaks to all of us here on RCB. Kids and education in the arts might be another one we'd feel deeply about. Maybe one children's arts organization every year -- say, one that funds music in the schools, and another one that funds art supplies next year, etc. Any other ideas to consider? ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap.

I think arts/education would probably be the very most suitable. Because
it's what we are all about. We can't do too much, though. And even managing 2 per year is a lot. Maybe 4 catagories -- animal/environmental, women's issues, arts, and medical. But only doing two each year. Tina "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ... That's a good one. Maybe each year we could benefit a different animal shelter.

I also like the Breast Cancer donation because so many of us are/have/or will be effected by it. With that said, it can be my own personal project, not necessarily RCB. Could always hitch my wagon to JustBeads if they'd let me. We can't do too much, though. And even managing 2 per year is a lot.

I'm with Tina, I definitely can handle two a year. -- Margie http://www.PictureTrail.com/margiek My auctions: http://snurl.com/245y http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=upeggedme |

When I was a teenager, my mother had us volunteer 1 hour a week to
anything that we believed was a worthy cause. I've helped out many organizations in that time....and it was so wonderfully fulfilling that I'm still giving my time to help others. I'm a volunteer to the core...please count me in! A couple of possibilities: either Toys for Tots or Salvation Army around Christmastime both do sooooo much to help others, and February is African American History month....perhaps the American Negro College Fund?

I'd love to find an animal welfare or
wildlife preservation group we could donate to, also. What do you all think? to be honest, not pc and having an unpopular opinion, much as I love animals, I'm sick to death of all the animal rights money being collected and spent when we have so many people suffering with crippling, painful diseases on this board alone, who would benefit from having a bunch of money donated to research in the medical field. Of course I live in the homeplace of PETA, who make me sick. I see millions spent on slick advertising, mailing, tv, which could make such a difference in the lives of human beings! Money that could be spent serving victims of abuse, or battered women, or women needing kilns, torches and equipment to start a new life... OK, I threw that last part in as a subliminal thought... -- It could work. Live and be well, Christy "Valerie" wrote in message ...
