Something that might be useful for LLG supporters, which you may not have
run across.  There's a website, www.igive.com, which is essentially a mall;
you have a bunch of links to a whole mess of internet vendors (mostly ones
I've heard of).  The deal is, you designate some charity with iGive, then
shop at the various places, tell iGive about it, and they give a cut (up to
15% of what you spend) to your chosen cause.  You can designate anything;
I found out about it because someone put down the Klingon Language
Institute as the beneficiary.  And guess what, they contacted us and found
out about us... but the question always remains, are they on the up and up?
The proof of the pudding's in the eating: they actually have coughed up
some dough for the KLI.  What more proof is there to be asked?  It's a
simple way to raise a little cash for worthy non-profits without costing
you (or the cause) anything.  I think the LLG could use this also; I think
especially small groups like the LLG and the KLI can benefit from modest
donations (because they're so strapped to start with).  Currently my
registered cause is the KLI (I can change any time, and I may switch to LLG
sometimes); if you sign up using my link and shop before the end of
November, the KLI gets an extra bonus.  Or one of you can sign up and
designate LLG and post YOUR link so the LLG can get the bonus from the
rest.  Go for it; it's an easy way to support Lojban.

Every little bit helps.
