As some of you know, ever since I started The Bus Depot we've donated a
portion of our income to humanitarian and social charities on an ongoing
basis. (See http://busdepot.com/help.jsp#DONATIONS . )� But once in a while
a tragedy occurs that is so staggering in scale that it demands stronger
action.� The tragedy in Haiti is certainly one of those cases. The Red Cross
estimates that there are 50,000 dead, and 3 million injured or homeless.
This among a people already so desparately poor that they live on an average
of $270 a year.

To do our part, the Bus Depot will donate 25% of our net profit on your Bus
Depot order to earthquake relief in Haiti, thru the end of the month. This
is, of course, over and above our other charitable donations.� To encourage
participation by our employees, I have also instituted a policy whereby the
Bus Depot will match any employee donations dollar for dollar.

For those who wish to donate directly,� Ben has been kind enough to place a
link to the Red Cross on his website. I'd also like to mention two other
worthy organizations that the Bus Depot donates to - Doctors Without Borders
(www.doctorswithoutborders.org) and AmeriCares (www.americares.org).� We
chose those particular organizations because they are highly rated by
Charity Navigator, which ranks nonprofits based on the percentage of each
dollar that actually goes to the cause rather than salaries and overhead.

Remember, there is no such thing as too small a donation.� It's cumulative;
even the tiniest drop helps fill the bucket.
