Well, I do hope you have a good response. Unfortunately, money is tight for a lot of folks right now. A lot of people and their families were affected by the storms, the holiday season is upon us, and fuel prices will have an impact this winter. However, this is also the beginning of the tax season when those with more money make their tax deductible contributions. There are a lot of such folks; I wonder if there is any type of concerted effort to reach them. I know this is when a lot of charities make their Christmas pitch. Why not lighthouses? Cape St. George, New Canal, and others affected by the storms could make a year-end pitch, too. Of course, I'm preaching to the choir here.
