Congratulations, Michael!

Christopher, I read this thread with a lot of interest.

I have been known to accept to offer my services for free.

In the Puppetry field, I only gave twice so far, just because those were the 
requests I got.
The first instance was mostly a waste of my time and money (transportation) 
as the organization was so chaotic as to be downright self-destructive. Very 
few people showed up, and there were only two profesionnals participating in 
the whole puppetry event.

The other event was a lot of fun to attend, I met interesting people, and it 
started a new tradition for me: making puppets and masks in the parks during 
the warm season. When I do it, not only do I get more sunshine and fresh 
air, but I get to meet more of these interesting people, some of which are 
interested in taking workshops.  So, even if the first goal is to help a 
cause, other benefits do come around.

I intend to do more giving.
