Technically, nothing. Asking for a voluntary $30 contribution to a charity
that was established in memory of one of brother's close friends who passed
away a number of years ago. (The "Devin Shafron Memorial Fund" - formerly
the "Devin Memorial Book Fund," now managed by the Chicago Community Trust.)
Take the plunge, Mark. It makes next week's TV watching more interesting!!
