Charity Registry
Your friendship & presence in our lives are the only gifts we need! But for those who insist on more, we created a charity registry. If you use The Good Beginning (link below), note that the links to our charities take you to an overview & another link to each organization's main page. To benefit from the website's easy giving mechanism, click on the "Make a Donation" button under the list of charities & form appears to fill in gift info.

JOE HELLER
True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer,
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.
I said, "Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel 'Catch-22'
has earned in its entire history?"
And Joe said, "I've got something he can never have."
And I said, "What on earth could that be, Joe?"
And Joe said, "The knowledge that I've got enough."
Not bad! Rest in Peace!

The Good Beginning
We have plenty of stuff! For those kind enough to want to recognize our wedding with a gift, we prefer that generosity support good work that benefits our community -- you can check out our chosen charities linked on our registry at The Good Beginning.
For all the days along the way
