Several people have asked Michael and I if we need anything for our Make A Wish trip. Michael discoverd on the GKTW web site that the Village has a wish list that keeps the Village "sparkling" (their words) so if you are so inclined here is the list. I am just going to copy it straight from the site, but remember we can't carry large items on our laps on the plane! (The Village does take donations in cash too.) If you want to purchase something for the Village or donate we are happy to take it with us this Saturday when we leave!
Help Give Kids The World keep costs down - and smiles up - by donating goods and services from our Wish List. Our list includes items needed for our daily gift-giving program, supplies for our Family Entertainment Program and items to help keep the Village sparkling.
To make a donation of any of the following items, or to help in any other way, please call 1-800-995-KIDS.

Does the ant and wasp spray concern you?
That's a great doable list. I might be making a trip to Royal this week to get the chair Court told me about. I'll bring some stuff.
CANNOT wait for you guys to go!!
Really, treated lumber is too hard to get across the country?
Pllease reserve a spot in your suitcase for a microwave, no? ok, I'll pick something else
I was thinking we could put the treated lumber and microwave in Carter's spiderman backpack, we'll have to clean out the lightsabers first of course.
