POLL: Heath Charity Donation
memento:
A) I also like both ideas - either the flowers sent to the cemetery or floating them on the beach.
B) I would prefer donating to one charity.
C) I would like to see this done in time for Heath's birthday.

I am not trying to be blunt, but maybe I am blunt: I think it is time to make a decision. Meryl has been spearheading this whole effort so I would suggest that she pull all the information together, make a decision, and report back to us. I think it is time to move on on this, as they say. I support Meryl and her analysis of the info and final decision.

I agree Leslie.
Meryl:
Hey, buds, sorry to be dragging my feet on this. I've had a heavy work schedule lately, and very little time and energy to answer your questions.
I think it is best to give all the money to the David Wirrpanda Foundation, since only one person voted in the poll for splitting the donation, and the Wirrpanda organization is a very fitting recipient. We know Heath was an active supporter as well as a friend of David Wirrpanda, and it celebrates his Australian roots as well.
I've asked Phillip to write to the Foundation about how to send the funds and suggested he donate the money directly from BetterMost. It totals $1,175.00, after deducting $300.00 for the condolence notices.
Around $85.00 should be left for flowers to be sent on Heath's birthday to Karrakatta Cemetery. Since Peachy lives several hours away from Perth, I think this is better than having her make the trek there to float the flowers off Cottesloe Beach, as nice an idea as that is. Besides, I'm hoping the cemetery will notify the family that the flowers were received.
I hope this sounds like a good course of action to everyone. It's been great to be a part of this effort to honor our beloved Heath. :-*
