[Wlug] donations

[Mike Leo]

the request came to me via a friend:


Hello hello,
 
I'm looking for working PCs that are no longer needed by
their owners. We have many students that could benefit from the hands on
learning that can only be made available through private donations. As one of
three instructors here at the Shriver  Job Corps  Center , I would
personally see to all systems being cleaned of private information by wiping
all internal hard drives using DOD, (Department Of Defense), Standards. Each
operating PC would then be entered into our training program for our students
as a break/fix computer. 
 
If you know of anyone who may be interested in participating
for the sake of our students, please pass along this note. Although all
donations will be greatly appreciated it would not be a tax write-off but you
will be able to sleep better knowing that you have helped aspiring technicians
learn a trade and become active working participants in this great country of
ours.
 
Anyone having questions, please don't hesitate to call or
email me.
 
I hope you are having a great summer.
 
Thank You,
Ted

Mike,

Just from a cursory look at the website, I did not see a section on 
donations.
