The birthday fundraiser will also be the beneficiary of a special EBay auction entitled PHOTOS4 // BBW4.
Beginning April 17th, U2 fans will have the opportunity to bid on U2 concert photos donated by some very talented photographers. Check our website for further details.The African Well Fund is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was founded in 2002 by a group of U2 fans. Since that time, AWF has raised more than $145,000, which has been used to fund more than 40 clean water projects in sub-Saharan Africa. All donations to the African Well Fund go directly to Africare, one of the leading private, non-profit, charitable organizations assisting Africa. The African Well Fund was founded to focus on one achievable goal: providing access to clean water to everyone in Africa.
The African Well Fund believes that access to water is not merely a basic human need but a basic human right..
Firefly Spirit Studios Puts Some Enlightened Gusto into Halloween Party Invitations for a Holiday that is Growing in Popularity Every Year
Florham Park, New Jersey (ContentDesk) August 3, 2005 -- Halloween invitations have taken on a whole new look thanks to Firefly Spirit Studios. What's really so different about them? You'll be glad to know that the people at Firefly just don't understand the standard, everyday thinking that passes for creativity. An example:
When Caralyn contacted Firefly Spirit Studios in 2004 for a special invitation for her and her husband's annual Halloween party, they had seen Firefly on the web, but didn't see anything for Halloween. She was intrigued enough by what she did see to inquire whether there was anything for halloween in the pipeline. They happened to have several designs in progress (she was into planning way in advance!).
and after a little fine-tuning, successfully adapted a card design that gave her exactly what she wanted."This fine-tuning was possible,"
according to partner, Karen Gross,
"because a card is printed only after a design is customized....

Putting Some Thought into Your Children's Birthday Gifts
From very early in my childhood, as soon as I learned to, I loved to write.
Stories, thoughts, letters ? writing was a great joy for me.
On my ninth birthday I received a gift that I will always remember.
A friend of my mother's, whom I'd known from birth, gave me a rather large book.
The book was bound in dark leather with a red trim, and had no writing on the outside.
When I opened it, there was nothing inside but blank lined pages.
I absolutely adored that gift, and even at that young age I realized how much thought this woman put into it.
She gave me something that was uniquely special to me.
I still have that book; filled with everything from fictional stories to the rambling thoughts of a girl as she struggled to reach adulthood.
And each time I look through this book, I remember how special this woman made me feel that day.
She told me, without words, that my writing was important.

Put a table in the center of the room and a large box guarded by 2 grown ups dressed in uniform. Arm them with water pistols.
Give each guest a disposable raincoat if possible. Or at least get them prepared to get wet during this birthday party. Advise them to bring spare clothes.Now get a grown up, preferably the birthday child's father, to dress as Batman in a Batman costume. Get another grown up, or a few grown ups to dress as the Batman villians. Set up the bat signal in the center of the room.Turn one of the rooms into the Batcave, make it look like the batcave in the Batman movies.
