[RP TownTalk] Neighbors in Need

[Dwight Holmes]

What a very timely and thoughtful suggestion, Dannielle.  Taking this as
inspiration, for future reference I've started a page on the Wiki where we
can list local charities. I've gone ahead and added your Christian Life
Center suggestion -- and will be happy to add any other local charities that
anyone else has kind words for.

For now, this info is on this page on the Wiki:
http://rpwiki.wetpaint.com/page/Think+Local
I'll add any charities recommended here on TownTalk, or hit me off list.
*Or* you can add them yourself on the Wiki!
