IDOLS GIVE BACK FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hey guys! I just wanted to inform you that Livejournal is super cool and loves us and is goign to spotlight us on this Thursday's newsletter on news for our Idol Gives Back efforts. This will open us up to a lot of outsiders who can help us spread the word and donate in our name! So we should have a big ol party in that post so people can see that we're good times and join our team and donate to a great cause. At that point, we will also have Twatter Thursday where you can pimp our page on Twitter to your heart's content. If we set up a Paypal thing, we may also have a mini Dollar Drive and lure in the people from the news post to help us raise a few bucks.
On that note, we wanted to update you on the little situation with the $20 minimum donation limit and setting up a Paypal account to get around the issue. Since we are not a non-profit organization it doesn't appear that we can make a business donation account so they can waive fees and all that good stuff. We can accept donations via a personal account, but there will be the small fees with every transaction, and it would require trust on the donator's part - the money would go from our Paypal balance, to a checkings account, to the Idol Gives Back funds. I'm totally willing to keep a detailed spreadsheet to make sure that every penny is accounted for, but before we proceed any further we just wanted to see what you guys thought about this, and if you have better ideas so that we can accept donations under $20.
Finally, the Livejournal team is so inspired by all of our hard work with charitible causes, that they have asked us to help them create a vgift in honor of 65redroses, who recently passed away from cystic fibrosis. This really requires no extraneous effort on our part, other than to keep in touch with them on the process and then spread the word when the vgift is finished. At any rate, I'm honored that we've been asked if Livejournal can namedrop our name to help them raise money. We're fucking famous and shit for doing good deeds. Just food for thought~~

EDIT: OKAY, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN NOW DONATE A MINIMUM OF $10 INSTEAD OF $20 SO I KNOW THAT WILL HELP A LOT. Just join our team, click the "General Team Donation" tab on our page, and then donate to your heart's content (you can have it under your name, or Anonymous, or whatever). We'll still set up a Paypal account though, for anyone who would like to donate under $10. Thanks!
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN 8TH PLACE. GLAMBERTS ARE IN THE LEAD. LET'S DO THIS.
YOU CAN GIVE THE ONTD_AI TEAM A GENERAL DONATION RIGHT HERE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PROFILE. I THINK THAT SHOULD WORK. SORRY IT IS SET UP SO CONFUSING/STUPIDLY, BLAME IT ON AMERICANIDOL.COM NOT US.
