"I'm always running behind the time Just like this train Shaking into town With the brakes complaining..." ...and I see that "Dar's Birthday 2008" pledge is now closed - ack! However, I'm hoping this note will somehow be posted somewhere, however belatedly - I was, as always, trying to find the perfect gift (in the form of action) I could pro-offer for your special day... and the following appeared as I logged on to my local public radio station website earlier this afternoon: "Make a $50 contribution to support your favorite WLRN programs and our partner American Forests will plant five trees in Hal Scott Preserve and Park near Orlando. Make a $100 contribution and ten trees will be planted. By giving now, your contribution does twice the good. It pays for the great public radio programs you listen to on WLRN and it helps restore balance to the eco-system in an important Florida natural resource." http://www.wlrn.org/download/earthDHalScott.pdf Count me in for $100 (that's 10 trees!) - Happy Birthday, Dar... <3 Susan in South Florida http://www.pledgebank.com/darsbirthday2008#comment_2393698 Happy Birthday Dar! http://www.pledgebank.com/darsbirthday2008#comment_2393686 Happy Birthday Dar! I love going to my local farmer's market and basking in the glow of locally grown fruits and veggies! Here's to another great year with your music!
