JUST AN IDEA FOR Y'ALL: AN ORG CHARITY EFFORT? Please dont just view this thread!! At least post a simple yes or no!
I was just thinking (And don't call me stupid. At least in public) with the whole Secret Santa thing: Wouldn't it also be great if we all somehow pitched in to give away some gift to charity on behalf of the org community? Maybe sometime next year. I don't know the logistics or to whom yet. Perhaps we could decide via some voting mechanism, and then have a very trustworthy, responsible orger (maybe a moderator) collect the funds and see to it that the gift is presented in our name. OR we could all individually bombard a decided-upon charity with individual donations in the name of the org. Even if what we each contributed was miniscule, it could greatly add up! They'd be SO shocked and grateful! It'd take some work, but I think it'd be so cool to do something like this. And while we'd have to make it SUPREMELY clear our efforts have zero to do with Prince in any way, it may actually do his legacy some good to have a body of his fans come together and do charitable things for no reason other than feeling kind. Is that a dumb idea? [This message was edited Wed Dec 10 22:09:56 PST 2003 by Lammastide] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Let's see what kind of response this thread gets.
...Then maybe we can run it past Ben and talk logistics and legalities (if any) sometime down the road. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I'd go in on this
I think te best idea would be for everyone to make an individual donation and identify themselves as an orger You should run threads like this in the other forums as well for the people who don't come to this one hope they let you vote on the home page to pick the charity Now I'm older than movies, Now I'm wiser than dreams, And I know who's there

We can have a trusted .orger set up a Paypal account at the start of the year. Put a link to it on the main page of the .org and allow people to contribute to the fund all year long. At the end the orger can take the money out for Toys for Tots or any other charity. This way we can save up all year long and put in one lump sum.
I could use some more tax deductions. "It's that Coqui 900, can I have me a sip"

A grand idea!
Personally, I'd love to help childrens causes... Toy4tots or Coats4kids...something of that nature. Keep us updated. Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

I think Amazon.com also has a thing you can set up for charitable organizations. Check it out. "It's that Coqui 900, can I have me a sip"

I could use some more tax deductions. This is a really good idea. A year-long contributive fund would relieve pressure on thos of us who don't have loads of money at any one time. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
