Happy Giving Tuesday

By Mel Greenberg

Every year you learn some day added to the collection surrounding the holidays we all grew up with.

So today (Tues.) is Happy Giving Tuesday and the Guru's friends at the Kay Yow Cancer Fund asked to pass this along which you may have also seen the word from other friends.

Unlike last summer you don't have to get soaked by ice water for participate in this initiative.

Somehow the Guru figured how to set his twitter to participate.

Here is all you need to know as copied from the email Sue Donohoe, executive director of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund sent to yours truly.

He meant to have this posted earlier since this afternoon is the deadline but the Guru just finished spending a bunch of hours rescuing the AP Poll database and history from a small disaster that could have been much more.

But more importantly, in terms of today's initiatuve, all parties thank you. -- Mel
