Announcement: Grow to Give

[Guest guest]

This looks like a cool idea! What do you all think? Do you think

we have a chance? The list grew from 0 to 240 in a little over a

month. If everyone referred friends and those friends referred friends,

etc., we could be in the running! We could donate the money to PETA or

some other vegetarian-related organization. We are automatically in the

" contest " , and it would just be a matter of getting y'all's help in

promoting the list and getting list members. Thanks!!

 

The " Grow to Give " Program is our first ONEreach event.

Through the " Grow to Give " Program, ONElist will donate $5,000 to each

of two charities chosen by the two communities that grow their

membership the most within the next two months. The community that grows

the most in new and confirmed ONElist rs and the community that

grows the most as a percentage basis of new and confirmed ONElist

rs will each choose a recipient charity. ONElist will then

donate $5,000 to that charity in the name of the community.

 

All ONElist communities as of April 19, 1999 at 12:01 a.m. PDT are

automatically participants in the " Grow to Give " Program. The program

will run from April 19, 1999 through June 19, 1999 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

Karen,

I finally got around to posting the announcement about this list on

CompuServe. I hit the Vegetarian forum, Cooks Online, Good Diet, and

Natural Medicine.

I asked them to mention they're from CompuServe so we can see if there was

interest. I'm certain there will be! Cooks holds so many darned recipe

collecting fanatics, it makes the lists to which we both belong look like

newbies. <S> The Vegetarian forum is full of wonderful people, as are the

others.

 

Let's see if we can win! To what charity will *our* list donate? Perhaps

there is a reason they added that voting feature to the web site! <G>

Man. That's sad. Noone else has any thoughts!?

I posted all over, just 'cause I know how avid the recipe collectors are

there. Many, many of them are veggie, or don't care and add their aneemal

products to their food as they wish.

 

I like the farm sanctuary or humane society. As long as it's something

where the animals GET the money! <g> Preferably somewhere where they take

care of older, unwanted animals like the greyhounds. Having just adopted an

8 year old ball of love kitty, I'm particulary sensitive to this right now.
