Re: [AGA-sc] Tsunami

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Such terribly sad news -- and it keeps getting worse each
day.

I think it might be appropriate too. 

However, it might be touchy terms of pereceptions if we
make donations for some cases and causes and not others --
there are so many diff things to which one can donate and
even more opinions on which are the most deserving. Then
again, I guess we don't have to advertise a donation from
AGA.

Irrespective of an AGA donation, I think it would be good
to post the info on the various plant lists and forums and
suggest donations be made to. . .
