A fundraising suggestion to the owners/administrators of DU.

We have the very successful Hearts program each February. What about a pumpkin program for Halloween and a Christmas tree or ornament or similar for Christmas? I know that I buy hearts every year and would gladly purchase pumpkins and ribbons/ornaments/Christmas trees each year as well to give out to other members.

ON EDIT: Perhaps a Christmas season individual purchase option of Christmas graphic of some sort, a Hanukkah Menora, a snow man, etc. for those who wish to be non-religious in their image?

I consider Truman to be the second greatest Democratic President of the 20th century after Franklin himself.
