    Two new Not for Profits will be creeping in.

    One will involve a group of educators in Indiana reaching out to educators in Ecuador.

    The second will involve my family in a relationship with the weavers and workers in Montecristi.

    Throw some names out, o creative ones.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Take a look at http://www.dnwiz.com/. It can come up with some pretty good suggestions. Regardless, it's a nice place to start looking.

    Good day and God Bless.

    Edited to add: Somehow I got it into my head that you were looking for domain names rather than "real" names. Sorry about that.

    For the first I'm not sure, for the second:

    "Weaving Hope:

    A non profit organization dedicated to keeping the art of Montecristi alive"

    Or some such thing.

    Sincerely,
    Rob

    ok, you made me think of this all day. :p
    I was trying to get a decent acronym for the two of them.
    Perhaps I am stretching:
    ---Teachers for the Equadorian Children Helpcenter.----TEACH
    ---Weavers and Workers for Education, Advancement and Vocation of Equador----WEAVE
    Yeah yeah I know keep my day job. ;)

    Regards to all,

    Thanks, guys. I have until February 8th, so I still have time.

    At school"

    Teach1Reach1 is popular. We haven't done a search on it yet.

    On the Second one:

    I do like Weaving Hope.



    For the family NFP we do need some board members? Any willing hatters, or hat lovers? We're just in infancy, but all input is welcomed.

    I think that:

    Working Ethically As Vultures Exploit (WEAVE) would be too mean spirited.

    I know sometimes it probably seems as if I'm spouting Sour Grapes. When the first one of you goes down with me to Ecuador, I'm positive you'll understand what I mean and that I am not pouting.

    Working Ethically As Vultures Exploit Rural Spinners (WEAVERS) would be too ill tempered..

    Nope, that is two countries to the south in Bolivia. That is Upper Peru. Ecuador is Gran Colombia.

    Not good names at all for folks here in Indiana. I'd like to have a Spanish/English thing going, but who knows.

    I'm kidding, you know. :cool:

    I'm partial to The James Powers Foundation, The Sharpetoys Symposium, or the Andykev Alliance.

    Hahahahhahaha! I wish I had the money to give to such things. The James Powers Foundation sounds like something set up to rate automobiles. ;)

    Every hat we sell from that day forward will have a specific portion given back. Not just the finest hats. Not just the most expensive hats. Right now I have no set % given back, save the regular salaried people and when I get (overly) generous. The scope needs to broaden out and stop coming from the pocket.
