I was watching Extreme Makover Home edition tonight, and it was about a little girl named Cassandra who had cancer at a young age, and had to go through years of kemo-theorapy and radiation. She signed up for the show not even thinking of having her house re-built, but only to re-do all the walls with new paint in the hospital she had to stay at. So the design team sent Cassandra and her family along with the Disney animation team to the hospital to re-do all the rooms, and make them bright and colorful, while the extreme makeover team actually built a bigger, better house for Cassandra and her family. And the comapany that built the house took care of all the Mortgage payments also.
Seeing this got me thinking of how this world needs a few more people that don't think about them selves, but think about other people. Also, just never to take anything for granted, because we all never know what can happen later on....

It must be an honor to be part of the team that gets to do this for a living for people.

I got an idea for all us Contour.org people. We need to find old Contours, and fix them up and then give them to someone who deserves a Contour.
We could all pitch in money each time, and it would be a great way to get the word out about how awesome Contours are.
This would also be a good way to keep old Contours from dieing because Contours deserve to live forever.
IT'd be easy too we would just make it a Group Buy thing and make it semi-regular.
Reply with some opinions, etc.
