    Default T'is the Season...

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    It's not talked

    about much on the forum but I'd like to bring it up today. While all of us here have much in the way of material

    goods and possessions, there are millions out there that don't. Many children will not get up to presents under a

    tree or even have a tree. Many more will not have a Christmas dinner, some will not even have a roof over their

    heads.

    I'd like to ask each of you here to do something for somebody else this season. Anything will help

    somebody who has nothing. Some examples that are happening in my area right now are:

    A coat drive that places

    boxes in office buildings for people to donate unneeded warm clothing to be distributed to the needy. There's also

    another, similar effort for blankets.

    Make a direct donation to a homeless shelter in your area. It can be in

    the form of cash, food or other useful items. Many of the shelters look for toy donations that can be given to the

    kids. Almost every church you see also has some program to help the needy.

    If you have some work that needs

    doing, offer to pay a needy person to do the work and pay them in cash. If they will be working more than a couple

    hours, provide them a hot meal while they are there.

    Spend a couple hours in your free time helping at a

    shelter or food distribution center.

    You can probably think of a thousand other things you can do to help. It

    doesn't need to be large, anything will help those who have little or nothing.

    Merry Christmas.

    Way ahead of ya bro.


    Me and

    a couple of friends have been holding gigs here in Barcelona (3 euro entry, so the place is always packed) where we

    take the door money to pay our expenses and get the bar cash to use as we wish.

    Each time, we give the money to

    the cause of our choice... I've been sending it to the aid assoc that we were twinned with in Africa, while the

    other guys vary between their home charities and others oversees that they have a connection with.

    It's a blast

    doing this. I don't care if people think I'm a wuss. I get to rock out in the name of helping.

    Good

    Thanks Icarus! That's great.



    Helping others doesn't make you a wuss, it's one of the biggest things you can do.
