JOHN’S CHRISTMAS LIST – 2010

EXPERIENCES (PREFERRED):

The most special gift for me would be some shared experience with the giver. Dinner out somewhere, go to a movie, museum, theme park (you all know which one), skiing, whatever. But this form of giving remains at the top of my list.

Causes that are most dear to me include:

• Anything supporting the healing of our planet from the effects of human existence, sustainable living initiatives, etc.
• Salvation Army
• Red Cross
• Habitat for Humanity
