I have an idea...
I don't know how people will feel about this.. but..
On months when one of us is having surgery, maybe we can take up a small donation, 2 or 3 dollars, and one of us, (I will do this if I am trusted) can make little gift bags.. include some soup in a jars, some protien samples, some sf CIb, things like that. I could make the gift basket, and give it back out if they're at the meeting, or pass it off to their angel or someone who lives close by that can take it to the hospital.
I would think if everyone gave like, 2 dollars on a month when someone is going to have surgery, it would buy plenty, and I of course would keep reciepts (If you all want me to do it) and any left over money would either go towards the next person, or put back into dinner the next meeting..
Anyone else think this is a good idea?
