Hey guys! CBS here.

Etsy for Charity; Hand-making a difference is:
A group of people wanting to help with their current day and age. www.Etsy.com is a site where people who hand-make items whether it be crafts/art/photography/etc can find a home to sell in. Crafting makes us feel good; and so does donating to our community.
Every month we pick a new charity from a list of many that each member has decided to sponsor. These are put in a bowl, messed about, and I select 3 from the bowl. These 3 then get voted upon by the rest of the members and whoever get the most votes.. wins for that month. Then when a new month comes around it happens all over again :). Gives everyone a fair share to helping out with what they want to.
Some may choose to send items ( when appropriate ) and others may pick to send a % of their profits to it.

Calendar of Events:
Example:
March 10th - have your 3 charities e-mailed to me.
March 11th - I announce the 3 random winners.
March 12th-18th - Voting in the forums for which charity takes place.
March 20th - Decision of charity announced.
--
April 1st - shops open/announce their monthly sale.
April 5th - Newsletter is sent out.
April 20th - Mid-month meeting in forums. check progress etc.
April 28th - Sales for that charity close.
April 29th-1st - Sellers e-mail me their results.

and repeat.
