I think you and the wife were in the shower again.

Hey Kindred! That's not a bad suggestion. Other than canned food maybe, what other things do you think we could do? I'm personally at a loss at the moment, lol.

No, that's after the kids go to bed, literally. We were both sweating today from the heat.

I couldn't think of one that was shorter and summed everything up. However I'm certainly not opposed to changing the name of it to be more inclusive if we can think of something better.

Well, maybe one month (during the summer perhaps?) we could have a sort of 'volunteer drive', where people try and find somewhere local they can volunteer a few hours every few weeks or something.

I'm not sure. Maybe some sort of community service? I'm sure there are people that do volunteer work. That might be fun and interesting to hear about what people do.

That is another great idea!

Maybe a month for people that do things like Walk for the Cure, etc?

Maybe a highway clean up or helping out at a local animal shelter. Just a couple of thoughts.

Or a blood drive. Is there a blood donation month?

I like the idea behind that. My only concern would be limiting people to a specific month to do stuff like that. But I want to find a way to make that work as well.

I thought there was. I'd have to look into it. But a blood drive is also a good idea.

Apparently January is National Blood Donor month. I like it bleeding over into February for Valentine's Day though, too.

I know I see a bus at the local community college every other month or so. I could do that.

If anybody has any ideas for anything else we can do as a "drive", please feel free to either post them here or email me (Sam @edenfantasys.com) so we can start adding things!

Being an environmentalist, I'll vote for some sort of environmental volunteering (perhaps during the time around Earth Day?).

I'd like to switch gears right now and talk a little bit about Joplin. I know some of you were at the most recent Community Planning Meeting and already heard about it, but for anybody that hasn't, our next fundraiser will be to raise money to donate to the survivors of the Joplin tornadoes.

That would be great, and a great way to tie it all together!
