Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS I'm not sure if this is a cause or not, but I'd like to open rock clubs that double as learning facilities all over the US.

There would also be scholorships for board mixers and producers and every other necessary job to help them get into the business. I'd make sure that famous musicians would lend a hand and help keep rock alive. I know that sounds dorky but that would make me the happiest gal in town.
Originally Posted By LuLu I think I'd travel on missions with my church. While I agree with 2oony that local is best, since money is no object here, I'd enjoy combining travel with good works. I've only gone on a mission to Ensenada (not too far) and it is a neat bonding experience.
Originally Posted By murfsmom I would build housing for seniors and make sure they have everything they need, medical, food,activities, trips. I'm sick of seeing and hearing how these seniors who have worked their whole life end up living in poverty because of all the cut backs ! I would also see to it that the seniors that live on their own have their gas and w & power paid, there are to many deaths from freezing or heat stroke because they can't afford to pay the bill ! Sorry but things like this get my Irish up !! LOL
Originally Posted By llanatoye Mursfsmom, I was thinking the same (or similar) thoughts earlier today. Senior's touch my heart and most want so little but often times have even less, not enough to meet basic needs. I'll be on your team, lets put a smile on their faces

Originally Posted By murfsmom I agree with Amazed and LPFan22, I would donate to an animal shelter(s) and make them all "no kill" shelters,they should be able to live out their lives, not their fault there are so many !! 999 wouldn't that be fun to have a place where seniors could go and rock out with the best of the, and record their stories, I love listening to them too !
