Helping Haiti with a Text Message

Maryellen Clearwater wanted to see if we could leverage this networking group to raise some funds for the devestation in Haiti.  Instead of limiting it to this group, I thought we might encourage others to donate to the red-cross if that haven't done so. 

And it's so easy.  Did you know that you can donate $10 to the red-cross with a text message.  It's true.  Donors can text "Haiti" to 90999 on their cell phone to send a $10 donation to support Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

Here is an article that confirms this:

Or you can go directly to the red-cross site:

I put a quick poll on the upper right hand part of the site, if you donate, we would love to hear about it.
