Great to see a focus on giving back! It's easy to get caught up in our own stuff (literally). Thanks for the nudge to remember other stuff too.

I decided I'd prefer to give to schools in need in my own city, so I made a local donation instead.

PS -- local donation by way of the donors choose site that is.

It's so unreal that teachers have to fund raise for schools while we're spending taxes on war and bailouts.

I grew up in Tennessee and know how bad some of the schools are there. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the top 5 public school systems in the state because we have a large corporate in my little town and they provide good funding. Tennessee teachers are some of the lowest paid in the nation! I think it is so wonderful to see people giving money to help others, not just in TN but everywhere! Keep up the good work people!

verhext: when I was a little kid my folks bought me a shirt that said "It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need, and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber."
Same shirt, different day ;)

At the beginning of October when Enamorada posted that, it seemed to be posted several times per page per day on the main AT site.
