Subject: KtK post typo, latter=former lol
Wow, before jumping all over something you might wanna ask yourself was it a
typo. I edited the post before sending, and i meant 'former' not 'latter'. In
other words i meant dairy was cool, and slaughtering the cow was tasteless. So
that's good it was for dairy etc.
Quote: "Heifer International is a WELL KNOWN, international help and aid
organization that believes you can give a man food to eat today, or you can give a
man the means to raise his own food and he'll eat for a lifetime! Excuse me, but
it is HARDLY in "poor taste" to give a starving person anywhere in the world a
cow from which milk will provide nutrition and whose offspring will continue
this food source."
Next: in reply to the writing e-mails message, i didn't mean people were too
busy to send an e-mail about FK on dvd. i said in the e-mail that people get
busy and get behind on the digests. Meaning they don't know about the e-mail
request until it's too late. I'm often about a month behind on the digests.

LaNancy quoted from the KtK website:
<snip>The most recent beneficiary was Heifer International, a charity devoted
to giving needy people around the world animals with which they can earn
a living. <snip>
Heifer International is a charity I've donated to personally, providing llamas,
honeybees and chickens to areas of the world (including the US) that are
struggling economically. Susan Sarandon is one of their celebrity sponsors. The
organization's mission is of the "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day;
teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime" philosophy. Whoever was worried
about the gift of a cow, this was not auctioning off a steak meal. It was
auctioning the education and supplies for an impoverished family to become dairy
farmers. The end goal of Heifer International is to reduce world hunger by
providing people in need with, not a meal, but long-term solutions toward
generating sustainable food sources. It's like getting Nick on a protein shake
regimen where he doesn't make faces! Hurrah!

“He was brought across in 1228,
preyed on heifers for their blood.
Now, he wants to be mortal again,
to repay cattle for his sins,
to emerge from his world of
lactose-intolerance,
from his endless
Forever Dairy.”
Sorry-someone had to say it!

Subject: the history of FK charity
The newer fans on the list may not be aware of the very long tradition Forever
Knight fans have concerning charity. I can only start with Bridging the Knight
charity auction as I joined the lists shortly before that. I've forgotten how
much the auction raised, but it was an unbelievable amount for the limited
number of fans who were allowed to attend (they'd preset a number of attendees). It
was in the 10s of thousands. Part of the money went to the Canadian Diabetes
Association, the rest went to a Pediatric AIDS clinic in Canada. I recall seeing
a thank you posted from the AIDS clinic saying how we'd literally stopped them
from being forced to close their doors.
There have also been numerous blood drives, not to mention individual FK
clubs' auctions to raise money for their actor's charities.
We've also helped out our own. There was an urgent plea years ago asking if
anyone would be willing to help a badly abused woman escape from her abusive
husband. Of course no name was given, but I heard through the grapevine that the
woman was shortly thereafter safe and sound.
There was a woman in Florida who lost her entire house in a wildfire. All she
had to her name was what happened to be in her car. We held a sort of on-line
shower and were so generous that she finally asked us to please stop<g>
We've found a fan who was missing and a suicidal risk.
When my ex left me pretty much without warning, it was a listmember who
called me as soon as she heard and stayed on the phone with me until a real life
friend arrived at my house (by chance, also a fan). I kept insisting it was the
happiest day of my life, but she stayed on the phone anyway! <g>
We have support groups (lists) such as Rainbow-Knights for gay, lesbian,
bi-sexual, and trangendered people (and friends), and once even had an FK
weight-loss list!
We've cheered up at least one of the actors following major surgery. We've
supported the actors and others associated with the show in their more recent
projects.
If I'm not mistaken, we've even "bribed" the Sci Fi Channel receptionist with
chocolate after realizing how many calls and letters from us she was having to
handle. (I could be wrong about who received the chocolate but I do remember us
sending it)
On the fannish side (well, the chocolate was that), we've run beautiful
advertisements in major media publications, driven TPTB crazy with requests for
videos and now DVDs.
We can do both, and we should.
We are not a fandom that sits back and watches life happen, like our favorite
television characters, we make things happen (whether we intend to or not<g>)

Subject: Re: Heifer International and KtK
ROTFL -- McLisa, envisioning Nick in a dairy, the modern kind where there
aren't any cows since the milk is trucked in from farms -- maybe LaCroix put him
there as a kind of tough love punishment? Anyone who is crazy enough to want this
idea can have it for fanfic.
McL, without writing time just now

I just did a search on Google for Tasha and Metamorphosis. If you go to
squidge the whole story is there.
