Incubus Charity Night
Hi everyone!
As you all know, Incubus is a band that continues to give back. This sparks an idea in me to get involved in any way I can. I thought of making a fund raising night to help a charity in MYF. The idea is to have a huge gathering in my own city of Jakarta, Indonesia, where Incubus fans (that lives here and nearby) can meet, hang out, eat food, have drinks, play games and hear local bands play Incubus songs. The money collected in that night will be donated to MYF.
I'm writing in this discussion board because I've never done a fund raising night before. I thought of sharing in the hopes that all of you wonderful fans of Incubus can shade bright ideas on my little plan. Do any of you have ever done fund raising? What do I need to do to get sponsors? How do I make sure people will actually donate money? When is the perfect timing to do this?
Thank you very much for reading this. I hope my idea will spark other ideas. And I hope to get a response from all of you.
Peace and love,
Chydie

Too bad I'm in Cali : ( Well I've never done fundraising before but I'm sure all you'd need to do for some sponsers is go to your local radio station or cabel company and ask for thier help!! And to get people to donate...you can have everything like food drinks and games all be paid in ticket form and people have to buy the tickets for a certain price and all the proceeds from that donate : )) I hope my ideas help you...let me know how it goes : )

2 thumbs up on the design! :) i think the only suggestions i have are to maybe add '2010' and the location of the event? (you never know, this may be the first of many Incunesia/MYF events :) ) but i really like the design & i'm sooo excited for you!

hey, paul. thanks for your kind words.
you know what? one of the reasons why i'm doing this is because i was also inspired by the Incubus Street Team Philippines. there are die hard Incubus fans in your country that helped sparked this idea. what i'm trying to do is take to the next level to inspire others as well. you should check out and join the Philippines team so you can do Incu-wonders too. this is their myspace page link: http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=groups.groupProfile&.... i wish you good luck as well! :)

First-of-Its-Kind Map Details the Height of the Globe's Forests
ScienceDaily (July 21, 2010) — Using NASA satellite data, scientists have produced a first-of-its kind map that details the height of the world's forests. Although there are other local- and regional-scale forest canopy maps, the new map is the first that spans the entire globe based on one uniform method.Climate bill in doubt as Democrats delay action
U.S. Senate Democrats said on Thursday they will wait until September at the earliest to take up broad climate-change legislation, a potentially fatal blow to the White House push to curb greenhouse gases. The delay means Democrats have little time to advance the complex legislation amid intense political pressure in the weeks before November congressional elections. It also could derail global climate change initiatives, as the world's major economies and greenhouse gas emitters insist the United States play a leading role.© 2010 Created by makeyourselffoundation.
