How to spend jay/day
Some suggestions on how to celebrate jay/day from the lovely Ms. Eve Luppert (whose birthday is Friday, June 24th, I would like to point out.)
Call that place you've been meaning to volunteer, and volunteerBuy a whole bunch of art supplies and drop them off at a boys and girls club
Clean out your closets and give your old business clothe to Dress for Success (for a location near you).
Sign up to be an "activist" for Americans for the Arts (A non-profit organization)
Support your local PBS Station. Heck, find out when their next fund raiser is and volunteer to do phones
Go hear a local band or see a community theater show
Send Money to The United Negro College Fund
Support the National Endowment for the Arts
Give a scholarship to a kid for summer camp in the arts. Here's one. Here's another. And another. And another. Google "summer arts camp" for more.

could you FIND a goofier picture?
Anyway. I went for the buying art supplies for a local day care that serves an underprivledged neighborhood. I had a blast just running the ailes of the art supply store and filling the cart.
I'm going to drop stuff off today at lunch, and not only feel lucky to be able to do it, I'll feel lucky to have had Jay in my life, AND lucky to have, through Jay, so many of you in my life too.
Eve
