Is that a fair statement? The majority of the victims in New Orleans aren't criminals. Or am I being naive?
We just made a donation to the Salvation Army for Katrina relief. I, personally, am not going to be available for a fundraiser - I can't speak for Rondevous.
What I suggest is that those who want to help, make a donation to the Salvation Army (http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/) as well. David caught some flak for his comments about the Red Cross, but the truth is that they're not the most efficient organization out there. If this were a local issue, I would definitely tell you to give to the local Red Cross, but the national organization is too bureaucratic and bloated to be as effective as their TV commercials pretend.
Even if you can send only $10, it will help. From their website:

How will it work? Wouldn't we need the place to be in agrement with us doing a fundraiser? Does that need special tax number or anything? Just thinking out loud.

My DH suggested we piggy back on the many existing fundraisers out there and not try to create our own. Not exactly like the 'Vous event, but it could make things easier. With that in mind, a couple folks have mentioned:
Poor Boy Zeus on 9/24 in Solomons
No Limits (see schedule on http://www.nolimitsband.net/showdates.html)
What else?
It seems as though there's a donation box at these establishments for Katrina where you could put in a check (made payable to the American Red Cross) or cash.

I would attent if it were for a good cause. I missed the last one due to work but will try to attent the next one. I saw Rondevous the other night i see him pretty often. Ill tell him jump on tonight and put his 2 cents in. He may suggest his place or another Place. Either way I would think it would be a nice Jesture to take a vote from everyone on the location.
JUST MY 3 Cents. Inflation Added 1 cent. lol
I may raise it another few cents like the damn gas prices.

Here's a thought...

We could get a bunch of local places together and do kind of a bar crawl. I'll bet I could get Keller Bus to help us out w/ a bus. Any thoughts?
