The devastation in Haiti has hit many of us in many different ways. The Sunday before the earthquake, I watched several of my friends perform in a concert to benefit a school in Dondon, about 60 miles north of Port Au Prince. After the earthquake, I sent a check to the American Red Cross and while I am not one to preach, I urge you to do the same. If not the Red Cross, pick the charity of your choice. The Lis Mara syndicate has been aiding Haiti for awhile and they too are stepping up. www.ustrotting.com/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=35468&z=1I salute those folks. As for me, I feel like I need to do more. Starting January 20, I will be wagering $2 to win on each of my public choices at Northfield, with the net win going to the Red Cross. This will run through February 20. I will guarantee a minimum $100 additional donation and welcome anyone who is interested in doing so to match my donation (e-mail me at nfldpark@aol.com for information on how to get invovled). I will post updates on Facebook (simply search Northfield Park) and on this blog, with a "toteboard" that will be at the top of each days picks. I know it is not a lot of money, especially with the way I ahve been picking them lately, but I am going to do what I can and I hope you will too. Thanks!
