Sometimes we receive gifts that are unwanted, non-returnable, or can replace something old. Or, you may feel that you still want to be giving rather than receiving. What do you do? Donate!

Weekend idea: Your Own Private Fund Raiser! Have people over, pass a hat at the bar, take the train and pledge the cab fair. Church is a great place to start for ideas, bake sales still work, don’t knock’em. Change your weekend, change your routine for others in need.
The last of the New Year’s post’s- it’s about time. Rosie O’Donnell is auctioning off a day with her on her Sirius Radio Show on CharityBuzz.com. This sounds GREAT! We should buy it to promote Equal Junction Or YOU should buy it to promote your business that supports equality. Even better treat yourself to a NY visit and a chance to meet one of the most influential members of our community. The auction goes to support her Charity Rosie’s Broadway Kids, which provides great arts education and really enriches the lives of children. Make sure to bid soon the auction ends on Thursday the 14th @ 12 pm EST so get bidding. Who wouldn’t want to spend time with Rosie?
