Dave, In addition to being retired, (thats a laugh), and farming, I work part time at our local Sears store. Just today they came out with a program by where anyone, employees, customers, friends or family can donate to the American Red Cross through Sears, and Sears will match dollar for dollar up to $500,000.00. This means if they recieve $500K in pledges, they(Sears) will also kick in $500K which would amount to $1,000,000.00 for disaster relief for the Katrina victims through donations to the Red Cross. This program is nationwide so anyone can donate through Sears. I decided that instead of hauling my tractors to a show this weekend, that I would stay home and donate the money I would have otherwise spent on fuel and other expenses and donate to the victims of Katrina, who can use all the help available. There will be other tractor shows. I"m not in any way trying to undermine any efforts of anyone else to raise money for disaster relief, but only to relate an additional venue for donating. Thanks Dave for your action, as we need action in this time of need more than we need chin music and blame tossing. I know I have a big mouth, but for now I"m willing to put some of my money where my mouth is. How about all you other guys?
