UFO,

I used to do these with my family back in Michigan.  It'd be kinda cool to
do this as a group thing.  So who wants to go Christmas shopping for kids 
who might not get anything else this year?

Hiya guys,
    All of you are from this area (sorta anyways) and I thought you
might like to take part in this.  I have become involved in a charity
for DCFS kids (the really poor kids from Chicago that have negligent
parents).  They provide us with blank case statements telling about the
kids and what their dream presents are and what kinds of things they
like to do.  You choose a kid (or a couple) and then you go Christmas
shopping for them.  These poor kids likely don't receive anything else
during the year (birthdays or for any other reason) which is why they
center it around Christmas.  It doesn't mean you have to spend a small
fortune, just something to remind them that there is a Santa...:)
In any case, we have 200+ kids to try to match up with donors this year
and I figured I would talk to all my friends and see if they wanted to
do this with me.
>From past experience....it's great, it's a complete blast going shopping
for this kid and it makes you feel giddy knowing that you are helping
out some cute little kid somewhere.  If you'd like to do this, just
email me back and I will send you the gory details.....
whatever you decide/can do, have a nice weekend and i'll see you all
again soon.
