| School Auction | | We are having an auction in Novemeber to raise money for our school.
One of the items that has been donated for the auction comes from our 7th grade class. They decided to do two christmas trees. One of them is going to be decorated in LSU Purple and Gold and the other one in Arkansas Razorback Red and White.
There are fans from both Teams in the class, including parents who graduated from each of the schools.
It has been fun so far, because LSU has sent us ornaments...really great ornaments. We've gotten nothing from the Arkansas side, which is really sad since we live in Arkansas. We did a really ugly arkansas pendant and 4 old shirts that were freebies from those that attended soccer and baseball games.
We are hoping to get the media involved since the big game between LSU and Arkansas is 6 days after the auction. | |
| | Obama's Donate a magazine to a school charity auction | | A writer for the NY Times wrote about Liberal and Conservative giving. He started out to prove that Liberals care about people and are willing to support those who help he poor. What he found was that Liberals tend to support the organizations that provide things the like, such as the Opera, Concerts, Theaters Art Galleries and the performing arts. He also found that conservatives tend to support their church, organizations that provide direct aid to people. In the last campaign Senator McCain was criticized for giving money to his foundation. Part of the money was donated to his children's schools to his wife's favorite charities Project Smile, and supporting other local relief organizations. Senator McCain largest contribution was to his Alma Mater the US Naval Academy to support a program that taught Ethics in the Military. there was some critizisum until President Obama released his Taxes. Until he decided to run for public office there was almost no giving and over the years his two larges contributions were to Rev Wrights Church and to the Congressional Black Caucus (for political Activities). Senator Bidden donated less that $3000 over the years. Gov Palin and her husband... | |
