How to contribute to sending flowers/condolences to Australia

[mvansand76]

I'm in contact with a friend from Live Journal who lives and works in Perth.  She has offered to put a notice in the paper for us and find out where to send flowers.  She is also willing to pay for it and let us reimburse her.

Shall we go ahead with this?  Let me know what you think we should say in the notice.

This is fantastic, Meryl, thank you so much! Great of you to PM Phillip about this. I definitely think we should go ahead with this. I have to make dinner now, but will check back later here...

Yes! Yes please. It's a great idea.

This is a wonderful idea. I'm just blown away by what this community has created in response to Heath's death. So beautiful. I feel like I'm here only peripherally, but I come and lurk, and I am full of appreciation for everything - for Philip's news updates, and the fact that .. was it Meryl and John? Sorry if I'm getting the names wrong.. went to building and left a card. I keep feeling like I want to 'do something', and then running into all the distance that seems to prevent that, but coming here, where things ARE being done, is amazingly soothing.

And if it comes to pitching in to pay for an ad, I would love to contribute. I'll keep checking back.

It's being reported that the DC forum is taking out an ad next week in VARIETY to honer Heath Ledger.  I thought this was a nice gesture.  I saw it posted on IMDB.com

An ad has been drafted and will be placed in Variety next week to honor Heath Ledger.

To read more about the project click here click here:

Look for the words Variety Ad in blue letters in the upper right and click there.

The Ultimate Brokeback Forum previously raised funds and placed a full page ad thanking the cast and crew for their work on Brokeback Mountain after the March 2006 Academy Awards.

I think it'd be nice.

Especially in Perth.  I don't mean to dis anyone's ideas, but I don't get what putting something in Variety would accomplish.  For the Oscar snub, it made sense.  But for this?  Does Heath's family get home delivery of Variety? 

Again, I'm just speaking my initial thoughts, I'm not trying to be disrespectful.

thing and i think that is the best one ive heard mentioned.....Yes yes lets do that....Bettermost and

Clarissa, and everyone, respectfully, I agree.

I saw that it cost $4000 to place the ad and they raised the money in 24 hours. That's great and I am glad that they were happy and excited about that. But in my mind, I think that money could have been put to better use. I am sure Heath had charitable causes he supported.

My 2 cents and other folks may disagree with me, and that's fine. If this post is out of line, feel free to delete it, I won't be offended.
