This came to light during 9/11 when people were mad that their donations would probably not go to 9/11 victims, but would be used for the "next" catastrophe. This, of course, makes sense, but most are not happy about it. The ARC probably has the resources to satisfy the current problem, it's the next problem that they need to brace for. So, donate anyway, the next big event is just as important as the current one. The Red Cross does not accept donations for an individual event.

The management co. also is collecting donations, but I don't really want to give them the money. I agree some type of benefit should be done. Other ideas could be beef-and-beer with a DJ or band (Rich Yacovelli?) -- keep us posted, I can help as much as possible within my geographical limitations.

My boyfriend and I were talking about something like the trot n brew done in Hazleton every year, it's a 2 mile race to five different bars where you throw a quarter in a bucket, drink a little dixie cup of beer, then run to the next bar. With all the businesses in Conshy I bet something could get organized. All registration monies and beverages purchases between x and x hours (or percentage of purchases) could go to a relief fund. Just an idea.... Has anyone thought about organizing a charitable event for the residents at all?
