Please realize, that while anyone volunteering will be doing the work under the guidance of the church organization . . . you will still have a chance to verbally suggest you are with EARTH (if you show up). I will personally be organizing one Sandbag stuffing site all day tomorrow. Perhaps we will get to work together!

I want to donate money to the Food Bank. I like the idea of 1$ is turned into $5.
1. How do I donate to the Food Bank?
2. How do I make sure EARTH and Washington Pagans get credit for the donation?
In the past, the Food Bank of Seattle helped me when I was in need.

Dear Suntiger,
First of all let me start off by thanking you for inviting me to this meeting; yesterday. I am blessed that I could arrange my schedule to accommodate the short notice and the hour it was held. Others, that I know wanted but couldn’t come, intentions are honored. I am excited for this opportunity to shine light upon the “Pagan community” in the flood-affected-region. It helps us to further the cause of gaining acceptance by the world at large.
The meeting was very informative, a good presentation by the city of Auburn and excellent audience participation. There is a real concern with this assembled group. I see the pagan community reaching out and bringing its resources to the aide of not only pagans but the entire community in the flood region by volunteer efforts in sandbagging and delivery, collection of necessity resources, counseling, and comforting, coordinated through the governments of the region. I was glad to meet Sarah from TERRA at the meeting. She also shares the same excitement in regards to bringing the pagan community to the table.
So lets all get on the same page and work together in bringing this potential disaster to a better outcome. Bringing the blessing of acceptance and inclusion to our community.
So Mote it be,
~ Jerry Pipitone
Thank you John for asking that question. I will definitely look into the food bank donation scenario and get back to you. I would also like to make a donation and have EARTH receive credit. So I'll start inquiring right away in that regard. Soon as I get all the info on how we can make it happen I'll make a posting on that topic.
Jerry Pipitone ~ Thank you very much for participating. Just you being there to show we as a group are physically willing to get involved in our community spoke volumes (and I felt utterly blessed by being able to sit with you). Thank you brother!
