We would like to take a moment to thank all of the sincere and wonderful people who donated so generously on our Twitter fundraiser yesterday.

BestBuy had an HP Mini netbook normally $499, on sale for $399. This charity is still in the formation / development stages, and we need a simple, low cost pc to organize charity operations, reply to emails, maintain the website and blog, etc.

The Best Buy sale only lasted for a week, and ends today (Saturday 1-31-09). We raised $290 of our $399 goal! While we didn't make our goal, it certainly warmed our hearts to know that so many truly do care.

OK, we didn't make the goal, so now what? Well, the charity will still end up getting the computer, but it will just take a bit longer. We will hold the funds on standby in our bank account at Bank Of America where they are safe, and request additional financial donations of support from the local business community till we have enough to buy the computer.

When that happens, and we receive the computer, we will have an "unboxing event", and take video so you can all see the reward of our hard work, and share in the celebration.

Thank you again for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Ari Burton, President.
