CAN-GRATULATIONS, SUMMER CON 2011 93 non-perishable food items were graciously donated by the attendees of A Very Potter Con: Summer Con 2011. These were donated to the Unitarian Church of Rockville’s food collection and will feed many hungry people. However, we can still do better. We were only seven donations away from reaching 100! Next Con, let’s aim to donate more so we can feed more people!! JPDYSC ALSO DONATES TO:Heifer InternationalJpdysc gives away plenty of Purple Cows at Con. Now, through Heifer International, DYSC will raise money to donate an animal to a community in a developing nation. Kiva MicroloansKiva is an organization which helps groups donate loans to citizens in developing countries. With Kiva, we can help people start up their own businesses at a relatively low price. After the first loan, we will be able to track how our money is used and make additional loans.
