I wasn't implying that by being a religiously affiliated organization that they don't do good things, but I don't want anyone to feel as though they can't contribute because they disagree with the politics/ideology of the charity.

I think the Vaccine Fund sounds good. I think the names of the various individuals and organizations afflilated with this group more than shows its legitimacy. It has my vote.

Alright, well, I went ahead and set up the donation page. Remember, if you don't have anything to give right now the page will be up for six months! That's well into April!

Here's the link for the page: http://www.firstgiving.com/rickman07

Feel free to post that link anywhere and everywhere you can think of!

I just wanted to give you guys a quick update on the donation. At the moment we're at $300, that means only $200 more to go! There are over 200 members on this board, so just think if everyone could give just $1 or $2, we'd be set! Please visit the page if you have a chance, it's open until mid April, so you've got time if you don't have the extra cash at the moment.

As the last "birthday donation" closed with only 75 % achievement, I think we should start thinking about what cause we want to give for for Alan's 63rd birthday.
The last donation must have been put together by rather big donations of few people. I think we should make sure that everybody understands that contributing a small amout every month or only once is as worthy as big gifts. Economy is difficult right now. Even though big companies make lots of money these days, the average working person is not in such a comfortable situation.
I am not sure whether it is possible to have a longer period of collecting at first giving. Or whether there are other ways for getting better results.

I would like to hear some ideas what we could do. And in a manner that our Madam does not need to put in more work than she does anyway.

One of the problems might be that not everybody here is in possession of a credit card. If it is any help, I would be willing to let you send the money to me and I will forward it via my credit card. This of course would take some trust in me. Maybe we find other Rickman Girls and Divas who can help that way as well.

If the possibilities of first giving are used up for us, we could try to find a similar website, maybe for European Charities for the next round.

aren't there pre-paid debit cards that you can purchase to use for the internet and things like that? (not that I wouldn't trust you, Magenta! but that may be an easy solution)

Yeah....I'd definitely recommend it....people are very clever and can hack into anything....the joy of this card is , the transaction just won't go through if there are no funds in there!!

Actually I have not seen anything like prepaid credit cards here. I admit that this is a very good idea. It would be a good way to make sure you do not spend more than you planned. I have not asked my creditcard companies for the prepaid versions yet. But I think I will try to find something out.
