    Does anyone have any mean miserly nasty old relatives that need to donate a chunk of their loot to a cause so they could feel better about themselves? How about some mobster or fellow in 'waste management' who needs to do something 'legit' with his ill begotten gains. Or maybe, anyone out there rob a bank and have a little left over to pledge? Then guilt them into giving some cash to the project! Help pass the word to help me get Broadway Melodies going. ®©
