Bill-your fine group is on the list for a $100.00 check to be mailed on January 1. Good choice. The world needs more folks like you. My family foundation has been a supporter of the Danny Thomas hospital for over 20 years. I'll send the check to you, as I do all first checks. When it arrives, would you get it to the charity and tell the folks there that it is in honor of our assocaition as musicians and good personal friends? I'll need your home address to send the check, if you'll email it to me before the January 1 mailing date.

Donny, your school is in line for a 2nd bigger (possibly $10,000.00) donation from the family foundation I manage. At the very least, there will be a substantial donation to a national group that concentrates on treatment for autism. It's on the list for a meeting scheduled in February to finalize the list. I'll let you know...

Still have one slot open for January 1, if Chas does not take it. As it stands, the charities chosen by Bill, Rory and either Chas or the next member with input on a worthwhile group will get checks mailed January 1.

Let me know...doing this little project together just makes me feel GOOD! And doing things ,creating music together, for instance, is, for me at least, the great thing about being a musician.
