| RE: Giving Private Piano Lessons |

| RE: Link: Free Donations To The Animal Rescue Site |
Also check out freerice.com which is a good place to build vocabulary and donate food to hungry humans!
I visit theanimalrescuesite and its five other donation links daily and will probably buy Christmas presents from them this year. Also, sending free ecards from those sites benefits their charities!
