We are up to $160 now. Thanks to all who have donated. Please help if you can. Many of these folks will probably be part of the unemployment insurance controversy working its way through Congress. They don't want a hand out. Just a job. Women at Work is giving them the tools to achieve that goal.
I have had a couple of requests from people asking what they can do other than donating money and Robin, the Executive Director at Women at Work, suggests if people want to donate items instead of money, we don't take food or clothes, but office supplies are always useful--everything from paper and pens and paper towels to gently used furniture, etc. Contact me at gennawey@yahoo.com and we can figure out what to do.
- First, there will still be a drawing for a first edition of the must have The Art of Disney: From Mickey to the Magic Kingdoms' by Christopher Finch from Bob over at Disney Dispatch. He will send the book via Priority Mail. I will pull the name out of the hat from the people who have donated on December 10. Thanks Bob.
- Listen to this incredible offer: During the month of December, J. Jeff Kober of DisneyatWork.com, and Mike Westby of Notescast.comare supporting Sam Gennaway of SamLand.com in his efforts to help Women at Work, a Los Angeles non profit job and career resource center committed to helping women reach their full employment and potential. When you purchase any of the DisneyatWork apps, either Magic Kingdom, Epcot, or Disneyland, we'll contribute 100% of the proceeds we earn entirely to the work of this organization! For more about the great work of this organization, please see WomenatWork1.org.
- The Disney Report plugged the fundraising effort. With his new more succinct format, this is a departure but he is still one of my daily reads. Thanks Aaron for making an exception.
- Progress City USA just plugged the fundraising effort. Thanks Michael.
- And watch out for a special announcement and offer next week from Ryan over at the Main Street Gazette. Thanks Ryan.
See what I mean? The greatest audience in the world stepping up to the plate and others in the virtual community helping out a charity that may be far from their own homes. You people are the best.
Tomorrow I am going to bring some fun content back to the site and will do another update on Friday.
