Sherie, I did see that - lots of creative ideas. Saw a short TV spot
about a Rockford middle school that came up with an idea in Social
Studies class to ask teachers to submit pictures of their pets. They
then were made into trading cards with bio of the pet and sometimes even
a paw print. Then students could get a trading card for each dollar
they donated to help in the relief effort. Became really popular with
staff (and others) wanting the trading cards (and to help out!) I
think the idea behind Ukrainian beer is because many (most??) of their
breweries were switched over from producing beer to producing Molotov
cocktails.

There are a couple of Wisc breweries doing that as well. One or two in Green Bay
& one in Oshkosh. A good fundraiser!
And, another fundraiser is from the Door County Candle Co. A small company owned by a Ukrainian lady & family decided to make a 16 oz candle in the Ukraine colors with a vanilla scent in a glass jar for $29.95. Initially she hoped to sell 300 & is donating all profits to a Ukraine charity she is familiar with. As of this past weekend, she sent first donation of $125,000 to the charity & has had over 30,000 orders. She was featured on tonight’s David Muir national news on ABC. If you have any interest, Google Door County Candle Company.

Any local beer drinkers in the group? Wishful Acres Brewery of Lena is
heeding the call from Ukraine to brew their beer recipes, sell them and donate
the money to Ukrainian relief.... Beer is in the fermentation tank, probably
ready this weekend. See yesterday's entry at 11:33 A.M. for details:
