I think it's fascinating, the idea that someone found this a way to be philanthropic.... bring people with money to people who need it.  I'm the theatre director at Lincoln High School (yes, we still have a theatre program) and I'll be acting as a sort of auctioneer when we have our big fundraiser show PopCycles this weekend.  It's really helped me to listen to this episode, as it's help me solidify in my own head why we are asking for money.  Let's face it, everyone needs money right now, so it's hard to meet those people with the means to help.  Thanks for a great episode!  (and as a shameless plug, anyone reading this.... please come support Lincoln High School this Friday or Saturday and attend PopCycles.  There will be all kinds of talent on stage, and we'll be holding a silent auction.  Thanks.
