Ideas
This Week's Idea - June 2008
OPERATION BELLY LAUGH
Comedy DVDs for the Troops
Our service members need a break - a laugh break - and we can give it to them. They are requesting funny movies - Charlie Chaplain to Steve Martin, Mel Brooks to Eddie Murphy, and everything in between. If it makes you laugh, send it!
Kids can make colorful thank-you notes for soldiers to include with your DVD.
Mail to:
Operation Belly Laugh
Do One Nice Thing
149 South Barrington Ave., #279
Los Angeles, CA 90049-3310
Do One Nice Thing will send all the DVDs to Chaplains in Iraq and Afghanistan.
NOTE: Used DVDs in good condition are fine as long as they're in their original boxes. No downloads, pirated copies or videotapes, please.
LEFTOVERS CAN SAVE A LIFE
Ask the manager of your favorite cafe or restaurant to donate leftovers to your local food bank. Food and grocery companies are protected from liability when they donate food to nonprofit organizations for needy people. More info: America's Second Harvest
BUBBLES
For D1NT's 3rd birthday, we're sending bubble kits to the Big Apple Circus Clown Doctors so they can cheer up hospitalized children. Will you join us?
The Clown Doctors have requested Pustefix bubble solution only. It is non-toxic and bio-degradable, and produces the longest lasting, most exquisite streams of bubbles!
Any of the Pustefix bubble toys listed on Tangent Toys’ website will be greatly appreciated. They're very easy to purchase online.
