So Kris and I decided to have a talk and do something different for our birthdays this year.  My son has grown up so much and suggested instead of getting presents, why not use whatever we can collect from friends to something better.  We want to see what we can gather and actually put it to something good for the community.  Whether it be creating a studio for those who need it for their artistic climate or to help someone else in need at a later point.  This money will stay in savings until it goes to good use.  So instead of presents this year, why not donate to something better.  Can you believe my kid came up with this?
