[AT] Charity auction

[Al Jones]

I tend to agree.  As a compromise, maybe a portion of the proceeds to
the tsunami victims fund?

Spencer & List Members.
 At the risk of being labeled a "Grouch" I would say that we really need
to 
think about Spencer's motion. Traditionally we have supported local
needs 
and while I know there are tremendous needs resulting from the Tsunami,
the 
needs in local areas have not gone away.
 I fear that many if not most of the local needs will be passed over or 
forgotten in light of the new need.
 We as a Nation are already contributing much $$$ which is fine and
great 
but we as a small organization and other small groups are what fund many
of 
the local needs and the Government does not fund these worthwhile small 
charities.
Just My Thoughts. I will support what ever the group decides.
  Respectfully,  John Grant
