And some people might not like a commercial company asking for money.

But raffles would work!!!

T shirts stuff like that
Selling something to get something would work
Besides you have volunteers all over the country just send us the stuff we could raffle it off!!!

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!

That's not a bad idea. Let me see what I can come up with.

since i cant afford to send the cash, how about an idea. could the group "buy" a special award for someone else here? since everyone had such fun with the 'co-princess' thing, maybe they would be willing to buy a 'fund princess' or whatever name you want to call it?

just a thought.

**Joe G** · 03-02-2008, 07:41 PM
