Chris, Since there is no method to predict contributions, I find it difficult for any of us to determine where funds should be dispersed. If history is an indicator, I would have serious doubt that anything is possible. Personally, I have made a determination to do certain things privately. But want very badly to see and to contribute to an on going group effort. I have a small guest home on my property. It sits unused. My plans are to make it available to women who need a quick and safe escape from dangerous environments. It would serve only as a temporary shelter. I think Monica would approve. And it takes nothing away from any group effort. Next week, Neenny and I will check the PO box again. Maybe then we can have some type of direction. Shootie

>>I think it's unrealistic to expect people to give when they have no idea what they would be giving for.<< I agree with this statement. When the idea was first broached, I understood that the contributions would go to the Hunger Site, which is something that many of us on SI support, and we all know for a fact that Edwarda supported. It's a sort of "two birds with one stone" contribution - the beauty of the idea that was suggested is that Edwarda would be remembered publicly in a site that would be seen by hundreds of thousands of people if we got together enough money to buy an ad. Also, it's directly connected with the Internet, which is how we all met and has transformed our lives. Internet friendship, internet charity, internet memorial, there's a consistency here that I find pleasing.
