December had the largest number of individual donations ever. While it was not earth-shattering, about one per day, they were predominantly the donation envelopes that OCF volunteers personally passed out. I want to personally thank those of you who asked for the brochures and envelopes. You are truly the backbone and core of what makes OCF work and what keeps us alive from month to month. If a dozen people could have this kind of impact, what would it be like if the other 1000 plus people who visit the message board, let alone the over one million who visit the site every month tried to give something back. I thank you for your personal efforts and in being the heart of and soul of the real spirit of what OCF is. You have chosen to be a part of something bigger than any one of us alone, and been a force for positive change in the world.
