Here is an e-mail Catrina (Margaret and Normans' youngest daughter) sent us about her son Sam. Sam is quite a scholar and is seeking help to become a traveling scholar.

"Hi Y'all!

This is a link to Sam's new website: http://www.samuelmasonking.com and a shameless plea...

As some of you may already know, he is trying to raise money to be able to go to Australia in June as a Student Ambassador with People to People. He is nearly halfway to his goal but since his dad lost his job, we're having a hard time raising the rest. We do have some fundraising things we're working on - like a Trivia Night! More information to come and we'll keep you posted if you're interested!

Check it out and PLEASE consider a donation (instructions for how to donate are on the Home page). Donations of any amount would be much appreciated - even $5! I know some of you have already graciously given and you'll find your names under the contributors page of the site so don't feel like I'm asking you to donate yet again. Just wanted you to know your generosity has been acknowledged and to give you an update on his progress. If you haven't, would you be so kind as to let me know if you do decide to donate? (I don't need to know the amount of the donation) This way we can post your name as a contributor on the Contributor page, too. People to People doesn't provide a listing of who has contributed on the website, so we have no other way to know if you don't tell me. Of course, we can keep it anonymous too but we'd love the opportunity to thank you personally.

And forward to all your friends. Every little bit helps.

Just yell if you have any questions. His email address and phone number are on the Contact page, and you already know mine. And check his website often for updates.

THANK YOU!

Catrina"
