You can have 'em. <br />So... find a rural school and donate to their graduation committee. A celebration of their successes is fundamental to getting these kids going on the next phase of things. Not every community can afford a lavish affair and its not as if the government funds these shindigs. Just a thought.Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382395307827072366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14675799.post-39292287778854900992009-12-13T11:42:39.256-06:002009-12-13T11:42:39.256-06:00nRT ~ You're welcome and happy holidays to you...nRT ~ You're welcome and happy holidays to you, as well.<br /><br />Rose ~ Thank you.

The blog operators (that's their only source of income as they were painters but had their jobs nixed by the economy) are giving 200 dollars every day, for two weeks to a different organization every day. They will be posting the names/numbers to get ahold of and how to donate money. They're urging people to give at least a dollar a day to different donations, if not to their donation then to another because every little bit counts. Thought I'd share!Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03112590736319904882noreply@blogger.com
