WHOO HOO you guys rock!  I'm already halfway to my goal, and that's not counting the pancake breakfast fundraiser I'm working at on Sunday (yeah it's after the deadline but it's an offical DM fundraiser so it must count haha. shows you how much they care about "deadlines") yaaay! if you were thinking about donating but haven't done so yet, join the ( Read more... )

To be honest, I haven't checked lj in forever, but this is really important ... and the deadline is in TWO DAYS so I'd appreciate PROMPT ACTION!  (you can definitely still donate after the deadline, I just may not get "credit" for it, but that's not the main point so go for it!)
