Reaching out

We have been talking about the families in shelters, how it is cold and snowing, and how it is hard to get food to them with all the roads full of debris and gas shortages. So when an opportunity came along to make a donation that would be matched, Sam was in on it right away. He offered $20 of his money actually, but the matching offer was only for $5. He was excited that it would be doubled just by his giving. Thanks to Ang for sending us a link! I also donated to the Red Cross - you can find a pretty tame video of conditions in Japan (i.e. suitable for kids to see) at www.ifrc.org (Internat'l Red Cross) and make a donation directly from the site. Thanks to mom and Richard for brightening up our St. Patty's day with a dinner out at the local pub followed by crazy-making at Chadlou's (for ice cream sandwiches) around the corner!
