Aloha neighbors and future-neighbors!
I'm catching a cool Hawaiian breeze on my back lanai in Hawaiian Shores...eye level with green palms and coconuts...a cold, sweaty lemonade in my recliner cupholder. Life is good!
Frank's ideas are no-more-no-less important than anyone else's. We appreciate all ideas. Don't know how we'll make the final decision, but whatever it is you'll have my total support. If someone asks me to vote, I'll be happy to oblige.
No matter how we choose to decide, I agree with Pam that it's too early to take that step. (And giving to existing charities works for me too.)
To put things in perspective, I did a "quick and dirty" analysis of this thread:
As I write this reply, the thread has had a total of 39 replies. Of these replies (some duplicates) only 10 people have actually posted, myself one of them. (Here's a list of the posters in no particular order: oceandreamer; pslamont; waipili; mella; punagirl; Hazen; Ika; David M; Nancy Fryhover; punafish - apologies if I missed anyone!) The thread has a total of 493 views. Now I KNOW the 10 of us didn't view it that many times. How many lurkers are out there that NEED TO WEIGH IN with their opinions? WE NEED MORE INPUT!
Thinking out of the box here, is there any reason why we couldn't allocate the charity revenues to more than one cause? (i.e.; a certain % to the local folks and a certain % to the animals.) Just another idea to kick around. At any rate, we need the lurkers to give us more ideas and opinions...It's time for the lurkers to step up to the plate and take a swing. We look forward to hearing from you!
Aloha!
Tim
