Just some ideas of where I have placed containers for Pennies for Parkinson's
1. My daughters' schools
2. My bank
3. My own home (!)
4. my supermarket
5. my friend's son's day-care center
6. the local hairdresser
7. A friend's Sunday school where she teaches
8. my synagogue
9. the religious school (separate one - the rabbi thinks its a good
lesson for the children)
10. my 'chavura' (social group) has declared April their month for PD
activities, and will be collecting PFP and taking part in our
walkathon!
11. The leader of my bookclub will collect PFP at all her classes and group
activities which she leads
``
12. All my family and friends have been cajoled (or cudgeled) into collecting
PFP.
And that is only what I have managed to set in action since Friday! The
opportunities are endless, require almost no effort, and the sky is the limit.

********************
Thank you, Hilary. Not only for your efforts to place "Pennies" containers in
your area, but perhaps just as importantly, for sharing your ideas with the
list. One of the things that is going to be critical in the success of this
year round campaign to raise money DIRECTLY for Pd research, is getting out
the word to the community how easy it is for ANYONE to make a difference.
So keep those ideas, (and in no time) success stories coming. I will keep all
of you apprised of our progress.
For answers to any questions you may have regarding the Parkinson Alliance,
their efforts, and/or to order free materials for participation in the
"Pennies for Parkinson's" campaign, please send an email request to my address

I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
