Additionally, The Hunger Site (http://www.thehungersite.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/CTDSites) supports the food collection effort.  Click on the link provided to 'feed the hungry with the value of 1.1 cups of staple food.'  These staples are provided by the sponsors of the site.  There is no obligation other than to thank these sponsors; in fact, they urge you to click everyday and spread the word about their 'hunger relief efforts!'

Haldeman (on Watergate)  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles The college football player knew his way around the locker room better than he did the library. So when my husband's co-worker saw the gridiron star roaming the stacks looking confused, she asked how she could help. "I have to read a play by Shakespeare," he said. "Which one?" she asked. He scanned the shelves and answered, "William."  --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by Sandra J. Yarbrough Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
