~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am pleased to announce that our annual fund raising to help the orphanages
in Russia is underway. This is the 6th year for the fund. Many of you are
already familiar with this effort and have donated generously in the past.
My Masonic Lodge has again "kicked off" the start with a generous donation
of $250. Last years fundraising totaled $5,800 and we hope to break that
record this year. For more information, please follow the link at the end of
this email.

My friend Frank oversees this fine organization. Last year I came
up with an idea to generate interest that worked very well, so I've been at it again:

Dear group,

 In an effort to help out Frank with this year's
fundraiser, I've just listed a set of nesting dolls
on eBay and hope they will generate interest as well
as new contibutors to a very worthy cause. As I've
mentioned in the listing, if the bidding gets beyond
your budget, please consider a private donation to
Orphans of Mari-El in any amount.

 We haven't forgotten Tom in PA's generous winning
bid last December - and hope that someone this season
will meet his standard.

 If the link doesn't work out, the eBay item #
is 200057755107

Merry Christmas,
