Re: [Paddlewise] Tsunami - donations.

If anyone wants to use Dave Williams to get financial aid directly to
the Thai community they do so on their own, not with "ownership" of
paddlewise's endorsement.  We've simply never had any dealings with Dave
so we haven't the slightest idea how or where money's would be spent.
Dave's contact info, from Nick's posting follows.

I'm sure everyone on the list has their own favorite charities.  For
those in need of a little direction...

http://www.charitynavigator.org seems to be a decent site for reviewing
potential charities.

They have a link to a tsunami specific charity list:
http://tinyurl.com/57lez or unshortened - http://www.network-
forgood.org/topics/international/earthquake/tsunami122604.aspx

Some of the websites point out that if you want to be sure your funds go
for specific catastrophe you need to designate that on the check.  It
would be nice if the online charity I used the other day had had such a
field on their website donation page....
