Hey Greg- you asked me to post this message passed on to me by a member of Carole Frampton’s congregation:
I have two organizations that really need the help of your benevolent friend.
One was all over the news – WEAVE – Women Empowered against Violence. They almost had to shut their doors and the founder came back and raised $150K in less than 2 weeks. I am having a ‘thank you’ event at my home on Dec 1st for those who saved WEAVE if your friend would like to attend.

BTW, are you open to chess charities at this point?
Did you see this article by Kristof in the New York Times? I was thinking this may be my Holiday charity this year. http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/31/a-heroic-doctor-a-global-scourge/
There are two places Kristoff recommends to give to though and I can’t figure out which one is better:
http://www.wfmic.org/
or
http://www.fistulafoundation.org/about/mission.html
How to make such decisions?
Sure, open to anything. Already decided the November charity, will come up in a few days.
