Christmas Donations For Soldiers

Question: Donation to a charity in someone’s name as a christmas gift?

I am having a hard time deciding on a christmas gift my aunt, the essential “woman who has everything she wants or needs already” so I thought it would be a good idea to make a donation to a charity in her name, especially since she is very giving and heads the Operation Shoebox at church. What are some ideas of charities that I can donate in her name for her gift? I am thinking something for soldiers and their families, and she is also a huge animal lover. But not a fan of PETA. Any ideas?

Answer: I have given to a charity, the Arbor Day Foundation that plants trees in name of the loved one you get a certificate from the organization saying what park they were planted. This is the site:

Question: Henge help?

I’m thinking of building a henge.
I’ve studied the layout of Stonehenge, so I have a good idea of what I’m up against, in terms of engineering and architectural challenges.
I’ve sourced the necessary materials, and found a suitable piece of land.
I see it becoming a shared facility, not only a tourist attraction, but a place where Pagan groups will be able to hold ceremonies, and perhaps weekend conferences, once the nearby conference and accommodation centre is complete.
As it will be a site of Spiritual and Religious significance, should I be able to claim tax breaks from the Government, during the construction phase?
Has anyone else has ever built a henge, and did they find their local planning authorities to be helpful?
I’ve been told that sacrificing a white bull will improve my chances of getting a planning permit, but I don’t want to overdo things in case I jeopardise my chances…

Answer: Why build a Stone Henge? I've had great results with Styrofoam Henge, or even Cardboard Henge.

Answer: Deseret Industries 11th & Soto in Boyle Heights
Just south of Olympic, across the street from the Sears Store.

I forgot the number to the place, but if it isn't in good shape to resell, they probably won't take it, but you can call them up.

If they say no, you can try Goodwill
