A) Do we know where we would send birthday flowers for Heath? If so, I would suggest that Peachy use the memorial flower money for birthday flowers.
B) I would like to feel clearer about whether we want to send all the remaining funds collected to the charity with the most votes, or do some sort of split between the top two charities? I am inclined to be persuaded by Pete and others that more money to one may be the way to go, but maybe we should take a poll on just that - whether to send the money to a) one charity, or b) two charities.
As I type this it's 19 for the Wirrpanda Foundation and 15 for the Matthew Shepard Foundation.
C) Heath's birthday is April 4th, less than a month away. I think it would be good to have made the decisions and made the donation(s) by then, in honor of his birthday.
What do you all think of my little A), B), and C) points?

a) I agree with amanda.
b) another poll is fine, but i'm fine with just one charity... it seems only one person voted in the above poll to split the donation. people can [obviously] feel free to donate on their own if their choice didn't get chosen.
c) yes, it seems good to have the donation done by Heath's birthday.
my 2 cents...
:)
southendmd:
A) I like the idea of floating flowers at Cottlesloe Beach better than the cemetary thing.
B) I would prefer one charity.
C) Yes, in time for Heath's birthday.
Penthesilea:
A) I like both ideas, flowers to the cementary as well as floating them on Cottlesoe Beach. Whatever is easier to realize.
B) Again, I'm ok with both possibilities, to give it all to one charitiy or to two. But I'd say not more than two.
C) Agreed with everybody so far. Hopefully we'll get this done before his birthday.
Fran:
A) Birthday flowers sent to the cemetery or floated on the beach -- either is fine with me.
B) I had been a proponent of donating to just one charity, but now I'm thinking that two charities is the way to go. This way, more contributors would feel as if their wishes were being carried out.
C) Let's definitely get this completed by April 4th. While our donation(s) can be made "in memory of Heath Ledger," I'd like to see it (them?) made "in celebration of the life Heath Ledger."
