Joe: No need to apologize for bringing up something much on peoples' minds
anyway, but hasn't been talked about yet on this site. I don't think there
can be an awkward time to ask for kindness and generosity. I'm sure many
people on the list serv have donated already, but what if we all just
donated $2 or $3 more, or $1--there's a lot of us, think what a difference
it would make.

>Hello All,

>We like to think that we make a positive impact on people's lives, helping

>with how to do a better job of that, everyday. Now, there has been a
>terrible calamity in our world. Our hearts our sickened by the pain and
>anguish of our brothers and sisters.

>We, a small, (almost) for-profit company, is going to take a shot at
>actually making a positive impact on people's lives. We are making a small
>donation ($100) to one of the agencies listed on the USAid web site. We
>would like to suggest that other for-profit organizations also do what they
>can. In addition, I think there are nearly 700 individuals signed up on
>this list, maybe more. You can imagine the impact we would have if
>everyone donated just $10 each. My son will donate some of his Christmas
>money from Grandma. C'mon, you're not going to be outdone by a 10 year old,
>are you?
>
>Excuse me for bringing this up on the list. But I am just struck by the
>worries of our ant colonies, and our board development issues and what to
>call our docent programs and yet we have made scant mention of this huge
>event that has destroyed some many lives. Do what you can. Help change a
>life.
