[AT] Charity auction

[Greg Whittaker]

I too agree that charity starts at home and feel that a portion could go for 
tsunami relief but a larger portion should be used here.  I'd like some go 
toward disaster relief in hurricane ravaged Florida.  What about a donation 
to help the Fla Flywheelers in rebuilding the show grounds that were hit by 
two of the storms?  Just an thought.
