New Stuff

,"Second Harvest" where I am donating the proceeds from my first novel, "To See a Sundog" is the largest charibable hunger-relief organization in the United States serving more than 25 million Americans each year. In it's first year, the America's Second Harvest Network distributed 2.5 million pounds of food to a Network of 13 food banks. Today, it is comprised of more than 200 food banks and food rescue organizations serving all 50 states.
America's Second Harvest today feeds more than 25 million Americans...including 9 million children.

Something great I just read about!!! Program 800-Free-411 into your cell phone. This is a no-cost directory service that works like 411... After you dial in, you'll hear a brief 10 second ad before a recorded voice ask the usual "What city and state." Savings up to $3.50 a call.

Do I have to reregister for the Do Not Call List?
NO, You number will stay on the Do Not Call list unless you direct the Federal Trade Commission to remove it. The FTC no longer requires people to sign up every five years, and it is NOT necessary to register cell phone numbers since telemarketing to them is illegal. Sign up at the FTC website: http://www.donotcall.gov/ or call 1-800-382-1222. (Information from AARP Bulletin, April, 2008)


I have recently discovered a Web Site called: Freerice.com where you can donate grains of rice to feed people in third world countries. It is easy, free, educational and fun to do. Go to the website, and choose the right definition of the presenting word from four choices. For every definiton you get right, ten grains of rice are donated to hungry people around the world. When you miss a word, the words get easier, so don't be discouraged. There are some darn hard words. My goal is 1,000 grains of rice every time I play.
