Thanks Babs.

[cornishmaid1961]

Yes thanks very much Babs. Just going to repeat myself here in case people missed it on the other thread.

Here is the lastest news from Shelterbox.
http://www.shelterbox.org/news.php?id=259

The need for more shelter before the rainy season starts in Haiti is huge. Also Shelterbox will be needing to replace all the equipment sent out to Haiti ready to help elsewhere in the world. So they need all the help they can get at the moment.

[burgyeb]

Good idea Cornish! Repetition is always a good thing when dealing with good causes. Here's my post from other thread:

My charity selection for YDC74USA is Deborah Heart & Lung Center which is located in Browns Mills, New Jersey. Deborah is a world class specialty hospital, that offers state of the art cardiovascular and respiratory services locally and regionally.

This hospital is a non-profit organization that offers it's quality services irregardless of the ability to pay. Deborah will be opening it's new emergency services wing in March 2010.

The website for Deborah is http://www.deborah.org/

Please support this chosen charity generously. Thank you.

Burgyeb
