Justin has chosen to give to...

http://www.speedwaycharities.org/

because he wants his choice to be local in the truest sense (i.e. geographically and socially (i.e. involving racin'))

recent gifts

Liz recently chose

for orphans left behind by 9/11, but also was wanting to give to

http://www.nothingbutnets.net

an equally awesome concept.

For Jerrod's turn, we will be attempting to adopt a goat (if we can get around the whole "send us a check" issue. More news later on its name and hopefully a picture as well.

be great

Jerrod- Grin Kids

Nice pick Jerrod. Thanks for playing...and by playing I mean sacrificing hard earned money that could otherwise be spent on Tequilla, to drink by the pool, instead of running 6 miles. Seriously though...thank you everyone.

New Donations

Liz, one of our newest members chose an organization called Back on my Feet, aiding homeless people by building their self-esteem through running.
http://www.backonmyfeet.org/

Alan, in the other cell, chose to give money to Levines Children's Hospital through the Children's Miracle Network. I have personally been there, and the place seems very friendly and even though kids in hospitals is not a good thing, it appears as though this place is the most kid friendly you can get. Picture a McDonald's playground where you can get medical attention.

If you think you might want to be involved, but cant afford $38 every two weeks, I am creating starter cells for only $10 every two weeks. Let me know if this sounds more doable to you.

thanks for readin'.

Kiva.org update

I just leant out the money we had sitting in our Kiva.org account and I came across these stats for us. It makes me excited to know that in this case we arent just giving money to a cuase, but these people are getting the tools they need to advance in life.

Feel free to look on our account (will.dalen@gmail.com, pw: gengroup3) to learn more about who has recieved loans from us and how they are doing.

Membership has increased

I havent written on here in quite some time...so, allow me to update everyone.

We now have two cells....

Cell UNO
-Justin Van Atta
-Alan Dellinger

and

Cell J&D
-Brianne Connelly
-Liz JanesxkzscoCo.
-Jerrod Kraftchick
-Will Dalen Rice

...and we are looking to expand even further. Remember, the goal is 4 people in a cell. So, if your cell is not full, recruit. If your cell is full, recruit and start your own new cell.

If people cant commit to the full price ($38/ two weeks...10% of my AmeriCorps stipend salary from Habitat) but they really want to participate, let me know and we can maybe negotiate some intially lesser value until people get used to it.

Have a great day and as always...thanks for giving.
