Post An Appeal To Help Victims Of Bali Bombings.

This is an appeal to all members to dig deep and to donate to the appeals that will no doubt spring up to help the victims of the Bali bombings.

When the Australian Government launches an appeal I will pledge $1,600,000

I don't really know that the Australian government will launch an appeal. We are sending over specialists in investigation and are airlifting whoever needs serious medical attention, and I assume that there will be some foreign aid in an official sense. Haven't heard about an appeal though.

Even if you had on september 13th only a few hundred to spare for your car engine project which would in turn provide lots of money for charity? Looks like you have found a "get rich quick" scheme somewhere in the meantime...
