Folks, we need to put a drop in the bucket… and no, I’m not talking about water… we got plenty of that!
During the storm, things got a little crazy (see Flickr) and there is water everywhere. It ain’t pretty. If at all possible, can you put a drop in the bucket? If you’ve ever attended a Web414 or a MilwaukeeDevHouse, it would be cool if you could chip in a few bucks to help our little clubhouse make it through this disaster. Bucketworks has been a gracious host to us, and it’s a time of need for them, so put a drop in the bucket and let’s hope it adds up enough to get everything back to normal.
Right now Bucketworks is closed. Until the damage is assessed, they can’t open again. What does that mean for the June 2008 Web414 Meeting? We’re not sure yet… we may have to move it, as well as other events scheduled there in the near future. Like I said, there’s a lot of water…
Jenn has a post on bucketworks.org that tells more, so please go there and see what is up…
And seriously, go pitch in some money! So far it’s just Gabe and I that have done so, and that’s pretty sad. I know there are others out there who can help, even if it’s just $5 or $10.
(Update: Wow! The total is going up! Thanks people, let’s keep it going…)

THANKS, PETE! This is a great call to action. Extra brownie points from me for rallying the troops!

With all the financial aide our country sends to other countries, you would think they would send a little to our own country. At least we live in a country that helps take care of our own on a personal level but it would be nice to know it was also done on a governmental level a bit better too. I’m not talking about hand outs either, I talking about a hand up.
