Just found this on the home page:
Friends of AWAD
If you would like to help us meet the costs of providing this free newsletter, you're welcome to send your contribution. To make payment using credit card, please click on the button below: ***
If you wish to send contribution by cheque, our mailing address is:
Wordsmith.Org
P.O. Box 202
Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068-0202
USA
Please make the cheque payable to Garg, and include your name and email address on a separate note. Also, let us know if you prefer not to have your name published in the list of donors. The "button below" refers to something that didn't transfer here, and I am afraid I'll mess up again if I try to make it. It is a link to Paypal, an on-line secure payment service,and is pre-set for Wordsmith. Nice and handy! Here's the link to the home page that has this clickable button: http://wordsmith.org/awad/friends.htmlSorry for all the confusion.

Jackie - I hope I am not injecting confusion into a situation as to which I am the only one who is confused, but I thought we were going to - as a group - sponsor an AWADmail issue in memory of BeingCJ. There are two ways to contribute to AWAD; one is with the sponsorship, the other is by individual contributions through the Friends of AWAD. The method you've just steered people to is the second method. ? Or, based on your communications with the Gargs, does it not matter in this instance?

Aaaaagh!
Sparteye, I don't know! I --yup, did it again, dammit--assumed that if we sent a contribution and marked it for the memorial, then it would count towards a sponsorship. I'll send your query in im-mee-jat-ly.

The entirety of the response I got:
Thanks for your initiative. One can send a check or pay by credit card.

This is a wonderful idea--to sponser an issue of AWAD news in memory of Being CJ.. we might want to have a statement in the issue-- something about a community of word lover, and word users.. who love to use their words in puns, and quips, and rambling discourses.. and how BeingCJ was one of us.
It would be nice too, if Keven could set up/give us an address we could write to.. If i were in Chicago, i would have brought over a casserol, or fruit, or something for the family.-- i would be offering them rides to the hospital/doctors office, to run errands. life for the family has been disrupted, car totalled, injured adult and children, it one of those times when a note of condolence--is wonderful, but a $5 bill (or greater amount) might be just the thing.. for an unexpected cab ride, or for milk and eggs for breakfast. not being there, i would like to give a small something-- Can we write to Carol's family via the college/university? or some other address that it would be safe to email (PM) to strangers?

Helen, what a sweet post--lovely ideas, all.
It occurred to me last night that we really DO seem to be a family: we have had a genuine partnership develop, we
have had births, and now...a death. I love how we take care of each other.

Helen - I will accept private letters for Carol's family in "text only" format and print them up in other than a PM-through-the-board look. If you send me a PM telling me why you insist on an HTML format, we may arrange a transfer.
I hope this is not confusing, but for security reasons I don't publish my "work" address.
