Women for Women--Helping Women Who Have Survived War

I think some that have read any of my blogs have figured out that I have a

MySpace and Facebook page.

I get little feedback from MySpace when I ask for help or information

but I always get feedback from someone on Facebook.

I asked if anyone had a charity, fundraiser, etc. t

hat they were interested in and I got a response quickly.

Thank you for that.

I am starting to collect quite a few online friends

who all have different interests

and have been through different situations partly because of the part of the world they live in.

One of my Facebook friends

(I do not know if my friend would like to be named so I will not name my friend)

sent me some information and the link for this organization.

This organization helps through

donations, sponsorships, volunteers, and much more

women who have survived wars around the globe.

I was surprised that I had not heard of this organization

considering it has been featured on the United States television program 60 Minutes

and that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have both donated to this organization.

Yep I actually wrote about something to put Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt's names in one of my blogs.

If it catches someone's eye to check it out I am all for a shameless plug.

So to learn more check out the website.

Charity Job Listings on Myspace---link included

I came across this today and thought I would share it.

I typed in charity in Google just to see what would come up....

because it does vary from time to time....

and I saw a link to charity jobs on MySpace.

I forget sometimes that you can do job searches on MySpace.

If you are looking to work for a

non-profit organization

or to volunteer for one

why not check the site out?

It is just one of many out there

and it might give you some ideas

of exactly what is available

or the type of help you may be able to give.

Charities on My Space (links included)

Here is just a small sampling

of the non-profit organizations and charities listed on Myspace.

If you go to one of them

you can always check their friends

to see who else is on Myspace.

It is a good jumping point.

You can always try typing in a charitable organization

or some other organization

to see if they have a Myspace too.

All of these had a way to donate,

but some were better at

giving detail information about their organization.

They all had links to their website though

and that is where you

will probably get the most

and best information for any of the organizations.

H.O.P.E.'s 9th annual "Cause for Paws" dinner auction

HOPES 9th annual "Cause for Paws" dinner auction

Posted and Hosted by:

H.O.P.E. Safehouse

When:

Saturday, May 3, 2008

Where:

Country Club

Racine, Wisconsin

Before you read any further, I want you to know that they are asking for a donation for their 9th annual "Cause for Paws" dinner auction. Without your support; their goal for a new, larger safe haven for unwanted, abandoned animals will not be possible.

I and they hope you will consider donating an item for their auction.

Because of the generosity of donators like you, they were able to raise more than $25,000 towards their new building last year!!

PLEASE NOTE

H.O.P.E. has NO paid staff and is run solely by volunteers!!

100% of all donations go directly to the care of their animals

and finding them permanent loving homes.

Donations can be most anything, but they must be new items. Some examples are: pet items, artwork, photography, gift certificates, home decor, kids items, jewelry, time shares, sporting tickets, autographed items (perfect for the authors who read this!! hint hint), basically anything that can be auctioned off.

Do you know someone who owns a business?

PLEASE PLEASE PASS THIS ON.

This is especially great for local artists, businesses, etc. because it gets your name out there. They are going to list the company name or display business cards if they can.

REMEMBER

ALL DONATIONS ARE

TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!!!

Any donations can be dropped off or mailed to:

HOPE Safehouse

1911 Taylor Avenue

Racine, WI 53403

or if you live in the area

they may be able to pick up your donation by calling

262-634-4571.

They have a Myspace page and the link is below.
If you wish to attend please contact them by mail, phone or
on their Myspace page.
