The wonderfulness of SWIL
Sep. 3rd, 2005 02:37 pmAs meeting ended today, I stood up and announced that I was making a donation to the American Red Cross to help with the hurricane catastrophe relief, and that anyone else who wanted to contribute money could add money to the coffee mug in front of me as they were leaving (I wound up standing near the door so it was easier for people to get to it). This was a way for people who either didn't have a credit card, didn't have much money, didn't know how to help, whatever reason, to make a contribution.
And money poured in. All told, SWILfolk gave $103 at the meeting. I had this glum feeling yesterday, shared I think by

crystalpyramid, that few at Swarthmore were even paying attention to what's happening on the Gulf. I lost that feeling right quick.
