I can sympathize with BassBabe's point of view. Maybe we get a list of family/friends of S-B and go 50/50 with Red Cross/family. That way we know we have an impact on known families.

I'd vote for giving whatever we raise to the salvation army, much more of their donations winds up witht he needy than the red cross. Don't you guys remember that during the tsunami crisis, the red cross had to set up a special fund, because a lot of people wouldn't donate to their general fund because so much of that money is wasted.

We can donate a trip or whatever, have a ton of gear also, so yes we are defiantly in no matter which way it gets donated. anyone have any idea how we could also donate clothing to the people down there. I am sure with all of us toghether we could put a tractor trailer full of clothes together, but not sure how to go about it? any idea's

A plug raffle sounds like a good idea. I am not a builder but I would throw some cash in.

I can float a couple of plugs your way....just let me know when you will need them by.

Perhaps I'm a little scattered, but did this thing begin, and where do I send my money?

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

I also remember the Red Cross taking money from the donations. I also think Red Cross takes a percentage of the money donated for themselves.
I also heard the salvation army is the better route.
