People reach out to people in wonderful ways through this Forum.

As regular readers know, Treasure Beach Foundation has been doing its best to get the next raffle underway. And, even though we have a wonderful Board of Directors, we have no paid staff whatsoever. We try to keep our expenses to a bare minimum so almost every cent collected goes to the children. We have asked for favors from numerous people we know, and so many people have contributed their time and expertise: accountants, attorneys, heads of other non-profits, and more.

Little did we suspect that people we didn't even know would also volunteer their time and energy.

I wish to offer thanks in this public forum to three ladies who have gone out of their way to help make the 2008 raffle a reality by handling the flyer we need to promote it.

Suzanne White of Florida for offering to make the flyer "happen"

Marcia Ente of Florida for art directing a beautiful flyer

Bridget Rutter of South Africa for doing the HTML programming for the flyer

To these three angels: Thank you for so ably assisting us. More importantly, thank you for helping the 11 students in Treasure Beach now on scholarships. And, thank you for enabling us to collect money to assist even more students in the future.
