Cowboy kenny 50799 Report post Posted June 12, 2009 An exerpt from my diary I wish to share here with the members of CERB as some of you may not frequent the diary.... Pay it forward I'm often told I should charge for the service I provide, tracking bait and switch photos and for maintaining the numbers to avoid list. Many have told me of the countless times the diary has saved them from grief and more importantly, wasting money. That got me to thinking about how we could make the diary benefit more than just hobbiests and honest providers, but how could my simple diary benefit the greater community. I could never charge for the service, after all I'm a giver not a taker. In the past all I've really asked for is your thanks. So I put this challenge to the regular and frequent visitors who appreciate the efforts of the diary. Take the money that you've saved or would have otherwise wasted on a agency or indy with phoney pics or a "date verification" scam and donate it to charity of choice. Many who choose to participate in this hobby do so as a matter of choice and are in fortunate place in life to do so. No matter how you afford to participate, it's your money it's well earned and you deserve the diversion you seek. Many people in our city don't have those choices available, they must choose between a warm meal or a roof over their heads, others are faced with ilnesses that present life challenges with vary few options available to them with out impacting their lives o those afflicted of their families. So if you've ever been helped by out by the diary, or the cowboy has come to your aid, consider making a donation of value to the charity of your choice. Big or small, the amount is not important, but the consideration and the thought are. There are many deserving charities choose one close to your heart to make the donation more worthwhile. Here's a few charities I continue to support with my time and money... Epilepsy Canada The Ottawa Mission Candlelighters Childrens Wish Foundation 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aeronaughty 101 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 CK, not only are you a scholar and a gentleman, you also appear to have a kind and giving heart. This was an excellent idea, and I'm off to those websites to make a donation once I finish this post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
