Katrina benefit
I am looking for ideas on whether / how we as a group can raise funds for the victims of Katrina. If we did raffle/auctions of donated items or just a fundraising campaing. We have some people with extended family and dear freinds down there that we have not heard from as of yet. We also have the option of working to raise money for Red Cross specifically for the victims of the Hurricane.
So I am opening this for discussion to see what you folks feel. These people down there are our fellow citizens and many have lost everything.
Thanks,
john

John,
I vote for money being raised being donated to the Red Cross...
I vote for donated items raffled off...
a texas hold em tourney takes a bit to get the correct permits etc here in MA
I am willing to donate some hard to find items

I would think raffles or auctions would be the best way, but you could combine those two things with a Texas Hold Em tournament as well, make a night of it. People can bring food, bid on items, by raffle chances and play some cards as well. All proceeds to the victims of Katrina... Then the real maniacs could fish till dawn afterwards.  |

Here is a Penn 60 long beach boat reel loaded with Big Game mono. Almost new condition.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

John,
Raffle
JohnR picks 3 - 5 other members in good standing.
That group decides and over see's how the money is spent.
The group could decide to give money to S-B / Katrina families, could decide to give to RC or SA
My $ .02
