Here's an interesting fundraising idea circulated by the Jewish National Fund :
With the upcoming inauguration and the urgency with which President-elect Barack Obama must address the situation in the Middle East, it is imperative that our voices be heard loud and clear.
Congratulate the newly elected president by sending tree certificates to the White House, and expressing unwavering support for the land and people of Israel. Each tree certificate, representing a tree planted in Israel, can be customized with your own message to the new president, stressing the importance of support for the people of Israel at this crucial time.
All certificates will be sent to the White House individually - with your return address on the envelope.
