Hi Bev,

I checked out the flip site. THere is a donation program geared
towards non profits and NGOs(non gevernmental organizations. It says
that it will be up and running in Dec 07 but when I clicked on it the
link didn't work. I will ask that my local ARC send a request through
my son's service coordinator again with the local and US wide request
for donations as well. Hopefully we will get a donation. My local
ARC has been trying local sources such as the Lion's club to get
funding for my supervision family for a camcorder, but nothing has
come through yet. When something does I will let you know so that a
larger statewide request could be made to that organization.

8-) Robin
