Calling all mail-artist~Help is needed!

At first I started a group project in my Mail-Art Groups (CreativeSwappers, and PuzzleMadness) as a way for the group to do something nice to GIVE back... this hasnt gone over to well in these groups as they are not very active and so I am calling for help by anyone and everyone I know... I am posting this in my 360, blogspot, and myspace in hopes that I get a few more people interested in helping me with this creative mail-art collection for a charity of our choice. I am very pationate about this project as I want to GIVE and make a difference.... and I hope this may inspire some of you and get you into the spirit of giving too
Here is the info that I gave to my groups:
I have been researching different charities and have a list so far of charity's and am putting together descriptions of each. My plan is to host an altered puzzle (theme not determined until the Charity is determined) and once the puzzle is complete. I would like to frame it and auction it off on Ebay in everyone's name that participates.... After auctioning it off 100% of the proceed's from the auction with go to a charity that us as a group vote for. If you have a charity that you would like us to consider in this project please email me and let me know (artisticande@gmail.com) .. I will add it to my list! Once I have completed my list and the descriptions I will then create A poll and ask everyone to vote on which charity they think we should donate to...... That way its a group decision. I will share a description to each charity and also the charities website. I am researching each charity to make sure that our donation will be used and not abused by the charity... If you get what I mean... So if you are interested in this and like this idea, please feel free to contact me with any Idea's you may have and let me know you are interested in helping out.
And so with that said I have been working on the charity lists as I said I would and have them split into 2 parts... I have completed part 1 and will post after this message (as its quite long!) and am still working on part 2, I can always add charities so if you have one that I have not used as of yet please email me (artisticande@gmail.com) I will happily add them! I do hope I get alot of feedback with this! Thanks so much!
