Per pearle6 (TD) suggestion, we have created an account called KATRINA_RELIEF. GC has deposited $100 in the account. We will use this account to collect donations for Katrina relief fund. All money accumulated in this account will be send to Red Cross in October, 2005.
We will also announce a special benefit tourney with all proceeeds to go to KATRINA_RELIEF.
Stay tuned...
In case you are wondering ...

how to make a donation, all you need to do is CONTACT US and tell them you would like to donate however many tix you want to the KATRINA_RELIEF account. They will take care of the rest -- simple as that!
I plan to hold some special KATRINA_RELIEF tourneys and any tix I receive from those tourneys will go straight to the special account -- so I hope you'll all sign-up to play -- the more who play, the more I earn and the more that will go into helping all the people who have been left homeless and without any food, water or clothing from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
Thanking you all in advance for your support!

playing in these special benefit tourney will help
ask contact us to trans. some tix over to this relief acct.
STOP whining. turn up the thermostat 3 degrees. you don't have to be in perfect comfort all the time. this saves lots of fuel in the long run.
don't run down your gas tank below half. try to carpool and make a list of things you need to do when you are out.. quit running errands separately.
if you have a business and need employees try to hire one of these displaced citizens.. they WANT to work. we can help and some of us will help.......are you willing too?

If you are going to contribute to KATRINA_RELIEF outside of a tourney, you can do so via Contact Us, after logging in as yourself and requesting the specific amount to be transferred to KATRINA_RELIEF account.
1. Whether it is 1 Ticket or 100 Tickets, your donation will be private & every $ will help.
2. There is NO FEE for transferring tickets from one account to another.
3. Contributions can be made for this special account for the entire month of September.
4. Every $ counts. One dollar will diaper a baby or buy milk for a whole day
Thanks to all for any help you can give both personal contributions and in promotion.

great post cagney! I agree 100% on your energy savings points. WE are all to blame for insisting on driving big gas-guzzling vehicles, not carpooling or busing to work and for not making our elected officials invest more in mass transit and also making the automakers turn out more efficient cars/trucks and develop alt. fuel cars quicker. I would also add, open your windows instead of running the AC, turn down your dehumifier and freezer settings a notch, run your washer/dryer/dishwasher only when you have a full load. The gas/heating fuel crisis is not going to go away-we need a different mindset to get by-way different.
WOW

Seems like there is a lot of support in the GC community. Nice to see and can't wait for the KATRINA_RELIEF tourneys.

Hey all you cribbers, today I started hosting for the KATRINA_RELIEF fund. First I want you to know that should you win, you are in no way obligated or influenced to donate any or all of your winnings. I'm doing these tourneys only as a way for me to make a donation! For every tourney we host we TD's get a small stipend and it is that stipend, that at the end of the month, I will donate to the special account. On my first tourney today, I earned $2.04 and will keep track of each and every penny I earn and it will all go to the fund. Now if any of you win a tourney and would like to donate some or all of your winnings, you are welcome to do so -- please read the webbies message on how to do this. Once again, I just want to reiterate that while I am calling all my tourneys the KATRINA_RELIEF TOURNEY -- it is only for my donation purposes -- so to that end ... the more who participate, the more I'll be able to donate. I thank you all for your support and look forward to seeing a full house -- thanks again to GC for their on-going assistance in this endeavor!!!!

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
