A message from Mark Carter, Editor of TelescopeZone: I believe in donating to worthy causes, as part of the obligation that those with some means have to the less fortunate. Even if all you can afford is twenty dollars per year, we here at TelescopeZone encourage you to find a way to donate. My father, for example, always donated to the War Amps of Canada. He said it was because they provided a key tag service, which they do. But I knew better. Dad donated to support the crippled veterans from WWII who were provided with prosthetics through the War Amps of Canada. The War Amps have gone far beyond that call and now help children injured by accidents, born with infirmities and much more. In memory of my father, I have continued to support the War Amps. And I encourage you to do so also.

If I may suggest two organizations that perform modern miracles on our smallest and frailest, it would be the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, and St. Judes Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. I encourage you to give generously.

Whether you wish to support the environment, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or the food bank and homeless shelter in your area, I emplore you to open your hearts and your wallets.
