Hi all,
I know that BN has had charity drives in the past. How would you all feel about doing a group donation from Buffettnews.com for any scholarships that would be in Mrs. Buffett's name? This was mentioned in the "Sad News About Jimmy's Mom" thread http://www.buffettnews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18542.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to her scholarships, info to follow

I would love to contribute. What a great idea! BN Phin Power in a tangible form.
I'll bet our own BN Pimpette -- PHAW -- would handle the donations through he PayPal account. (I think she's on vacation right now??? But she's so efficient with things like this!!!)
I have a phriend who can make one of those big checks like what you see them present the winner at tennis/golf tournaments....he made us one for the cookbook check presentation.....it's really neat.
Maybe if one of our BN members lives close to USMGulf Coast, we could get a check made up and get them to present it to the President in Mrs. Buffett's memory.
My mother was a teacher. Upon her death, her school district established an annual scholarship in her memory. It's a great feeling every year when we receive the information regarding that year's recipient. I think this is a wonderful idea, and will be proud to participate. Great idea, Darren (who, I might add, was a pall bearer at my mother's funeral). Thanks again, buddy
Count me in also, I think it would be great to show Jimmy how much he makes our lives better with his music, lifestyle and concerts. I would hope we could overwhelm him with a lagre donation from all of us. Let's give the family something back.
