DonorsChoose update

By clock on October 24, 2007.

There is less than one week left and my challenge is still at 45% (just 5 donors!). All the relevant information is here.

The other day, Janet and I participated in a silent auction at the ASIS&T meeting. You go around the tables and write down your bids. You offer a dollar or two. Someone else adds another dollear or two on top of your bid. You go back and add some more. Little by little, all the items were sold, and lots of money was collected for a worthy cause.

DonorsChoose is just like that. No need for you to throw hundreds of dollars for a single proposal there. Just add a few bucks. If enough people give just a little bit each, many proposals will be funded and many children in poor schools will be positively affected by your generosity.
