Those you who heard me speak last week at Fairwood may remember my discussion of the Jamestown Children's Memorial project. If you are interested in more info on that or want to contribute CLICK HERE for the details. If you have children who want to contribute a dollar, I recommend they include a note with their donation. You might suggest they write a sentence or two beginning with the words "I am donating to the memorial because..."
This would be a good social studies/history project for you homeschoolers out there (note to self).
The link provides info on how to donate on line, but if you don't want to hassle with that, the snail mail address for donations is:
Vision Forum Ministries
Attn: Jamestown Children's Memorial
4719 Blanco Rd.
San Antonio, TX 78212
Also, it has been announced that Queen Elizabeth will be travelling to Virginia in May in connection with the Jamestown 400 Celebration (forgive my un-PC use of the word "celebration" in connection with this event). I am hoping our family will be able to travel to Jamestown to see the Queen when she is in the area, not that I have any illusions about being able to actually get as near to her as Karena and her little ones did. If any of you friends want to join the fun, drop me a line and feel free to stay at my place during your travels. We're only about an hour and a half from Jamestown.
If you can't make it for the Queen's visit, you might want to connect with Vision Forum Ministry's Jamestown Quadricentennial celebration in June. Or if you prefer, you can check out the PC "Official Commemoration" being sponsored by the National Park Service. In any case, feel free to visit us and enjoy some Southern Hospitality while you're in the area.

I just finished reading your last post about your M-I-L and all I can say is ,'My Goodness'. She certainly is quite the lady.
As for the celebration, when is it? It would be quite a thing to see the queen.
You never know--you could get lucky...Anyway, hope you get a good glimpse of HRH:)
Triple - The Queen is supposed to visit in early May, but the news today said that her exact itinerary won't be announced until later this month. I'll post the sched when I find out.
KW - I hope so! HRH indeed -- you're beginning to sound like a native!
