Tsunami relief funds

Well we talk about giving back in some classes, here is a chance.

Red Cross-Red Crescent - Make a donation At some level this is not the correct use of this blog, but on another level if it helps, I am willing to break the rules. This is getting posted on all of my blogs and on the FinanceProfessor.com website itself (later tonight).

After seeing the total destruction caused by the tsunami, I decided to end my week "vacation" from posting and post a link for people to donate. To say the destruction is horrific is an understatement. Money will not make bring back the lives (estimated now at almost 80,000 and maybe 100,000) but may help reduce some of the suffering and even prevent the feared epidemics that the deaths may cause.

CNN has complied a list of aid societies. If you do not want to give to the RedCross/Red Crescent, then pick another. But please give some :)

Additionally at our Allegany Store we will be accepting donations which will be forwarded to the RedCross/RedCrescent Society. Just tell any cashier or stop at the service desk.
