a few questions

now that we're all connected and everything, how about having a get-together of those of us who are around in the seattle area? i bet that some of the out of towners in the group might be coming home around the holidays, too, so if we time it right we might be able to get more people. comments? how does that sound? if you're traveling to seattle, when are you going to be here (leave specific dates)? anyone got a house that lends itself particularly to parties? we could use mine, but it is maybe a little on the small side if most of the group were to show up with partners in tow.

also, i mentioned my animal welfare group, chrysalis animal welfare society, which was created to build an animal sanctuary on the island of dominica in the caribbean. i'm stepping up our efforts over the next few months and i'm looking for volunteers on the US side to help us meet some of our objectives. we need everything from legal help (setting up a 501(3)(c)) to graphic and web design to grantwriting and fundraising. i'm totally open to other ideas that you might have if you've got a skill or expertise in something that you think we can use. this is a remarkably talented group, and i'd really appreciate any help that you can give. our seed money is enough to get us the property where the sanctuary will be located, but we have to raise money for the rest of the process, and we're going to need a lot of help.
