People Who Love P&C

Just had to tell you that I keep your website link in my toolbar and consult your design and architecture dictionary every morning! It's part of the daily "improve/be smarter" ritual with the world map placemats. Thanks for compiling the list of smart stuff and not some crappy "what's hot, what's not" nonsense.

‘Tis the season for giving and receiving. So after you’ve baked some gingerbread cookies for the neighbors, wrapped up a cashmere twin-set for mom, and picked up a Scooby-Doo Chia® Pet for your office’s annual White ElephantGiveALittleBit.gif exchange, consider giving just a little something more…. to charity. Whether affected by a natural disaster on the other side of the world or a tragic circumstance just around the corner, those in need could use your time, not to mention any donation of clothing, food, or cash. The following are just a few suggestions for ways that you can make a difference this holiday season:

Alternatives
GoodSearch – The Yahoo!-powered search engine that donates money to your charity of choice every time you search— at no cost to you.
Network For Good – An e-philanthropy site where individuals can donate, volunteer and get involved with the issues they care about.

Natural Disasters
Asia’s Tsunami - UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund)
Pakistan / Northern India / Afghanistan’s Earthquake - American Red Cross International Response Fund
The USA’s Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, & Wilma – The Salvation Army
Mexico & Central America’s Hurricane Stan – American Red Cross International Response Fund

Children & Pets
Big Brothers, Big Sisters; Toys For Tots; 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com (we could go on and on...)

So let the spirit of the holidays envelop you, and be oh-so-thankful for what you have. Cherish your friends and family, and be generous with your time and good fortune. We here at P&C hope that the remainder of your 2005 is merry and bright, and we wish you all the best for a marvelous and successful 2006!
