Happy Birthday, Ingo - 2006!

Ingo's birthday is almost here. Many angels have said, "What can we give Ingo for his birthday? We want him to know that we remember and that we care." Ingo has said that, in lieu of gifts, he would like us to make contributions to either Heal the Bay or Greenpeace. Both are favorite charities of Ingo's, and they are working with us in setting up special funds in honor of Ingo's birthday.

Greenpeace

Greenpeace has been close to Ingo's heart for years. We have a special section in our Projects page where you can sign up for monthly newsletters, or join causes or your choice. Greenpeace USA has created a special address for us to send in checks or money orders in honor of Ingo's birthday. The information is:

Greenpeace
Ingo's Birthday Gift
702 H Street NW, Suite 300
Washington, DC 20001

To donate to Greenpeace online, follow this link for a special page dedicated to donations to Greenpeace in honor of Ingo's Birthday.

Another option for a birthday gift to Ingo is to donate to:

Heal the Bay

Ingo is on the Board for "Heal the Bay" and has spoken numerous times at the "Bring Back the Beach" dinner. You can also send a check or money order to "Heal the Bay" at their new address:

Heal the Bay
1444 9th Street
Santa Monica, CA 90401

In the memo part of your check, just write, "Ingo's Birthday." If you would like to donate online, just go to the Heal the Bay website's "Donate" page. You will be able to indicate there that your donation is in honor of Ingo's birthday.

Each charity is close to Ingo's heart. He appreciates our donating anything we can to either of them in lieu of sending any type of gift to him.

In addition, Laura posted some projects on the home page of IngoNet you can do individually to help the environment to honor Ingo's birthday.

Let's all wish Ingo the happiest birthday ever, and donate to two of his very favorite causes.

If you have any other questions, email Hulda and Linda.
