NO DECEMBER IDEA CLUB 

This month's Idea Club has been canceled.  It will resume on January 25, 2010.  If you have a topic that you'd like to have discussed at a future Idea Club please let us know.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Many thanks to all of you who have responded to our annual fundraising drive.  Our work would not be possible without your support. It just takes a donation of $250 a year to be part of our group philanthropy.  Partners in the group philanthropy will be invited to join us for grant applicant site visits in April!  For many, the site visits are one of the most fun and inspiring parts of being involved with the Foundation.  You can donate now online.
