    Good idea terra! That's something we can look in to. I might even write 
to straw hat and ask if they would donate a few free pizza coupons to the 
virtual pizza eaters and if I can find some other cool prizes we could throw 
them in the hat the straw hat that is, as well.

I don't know if this is possible, but I think it would be cool to do a 
drawing for those who participate in the "virtual pizza". This could give 
some incentive to help the effort. We could ask for donations for the raffle 
prize. Maybe even a free pizza. What do you think?

Dear Mike, I would be happy to help with a check. Plus I will bring it up to 
Beach Cities, and CAGDU.
Thanks,
