Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m on a holiday schedule, counting blessings and enjoying family time.

There are a number of worthy causes I wanted to mention. Instead of spending on Black Friday, how about contributing to one of these?

*A group from one of my favorite, indispensable blogs, My Pet Jawa, is headed to Darfur to film footage for a documentary. They’re asking for donations. Please help them out.

*Bill Ardolino of INDCJournal, one of the best citizen journalists on the ‘net, is headed to Iraq next month as an embed. He’s being sponsored by The Washington Examiner, but could use help covering some of the initial expenditures of the trip. Please help out here.

*Bill Roggio, another pioneer, is returning to Iraq. He deserves your support, too.

*Operation Gratitude sends CARE packages to the troops. Give, give, give.

Feel free to e-mail or trackback with your own favorite charity or cause.
