damn I erased my whole post.
Anyhow, one more thing I was tossing around was the possibility of setting up a slush fund for members in need or down on their luck. Maybe 4 members go down to the bank open a savings account, we donate to it and if someone needs we could give them the money. If it never gets used we donate it to a charity on an annual basis or something like that. I dunno maybe it isn't feasible, but I know it felt good to know there was some cushion and people behind us when i we were/are faced with thousands of dollars worth of mdeical bills. It's one of those tings you never wan tto happend but some times it does.
Just a thought I have been tossing around, but the logistics seem a little dirty.

Shriner's children's hospital locations
We could probably hit most of these places...it'd make for a long trip.
Now, should we do this for a current charity like the Shriners, or should we create our own charity? I'd love to be the co-founder of a children's charity (I bet it gets the ladies like mad...ok, so I have better reasons than that, but hey) if anyone else wants to put in some effort with me.

Yeah, that too.
I'm thinking one of the magazines would like to send someone with us, like they do for the Super Street tour. Our cause is better than the Nopi show.
How about a charity named 7Children?
