It was just an idea. I look forward to hearing others.
I'd like to add that the three of us -really- enjoy the webcasts too. We're limited by transport options and there are only just a few pw's that we can get to that have venues that can accomodate wheelchairs. People in the military appreciate the webcasts too.

It's only been a few days and you're already 10% of the way there. I don't mind being asked for money for a good cause.

What we've done is put a Webcast donation jar on a shelf by the front door door and every time we "pass up" getting a burger at Micky D's or some other frivolous expenditure, the money goes in the jar. By-passing 6 Double Quarters w/ cheese meals is over $35 - (that's 2 times out for us), taking breakfast, lunch and snacks to work all week instead of heading for the cafeteria at work saves another $30.

It's not going to amount to thousands of dollars but I figured if people can "give up something for Lent" we could "give up something for the Webcasts" and put that money to better use!
