Present GE Alternatives

Okay, its the 20th of April and no one has signed up. I think a lot of us don't have time to do all of the extra things that go into a GE, like hints, teasers, smileboxes, etc. Maybe others are tapped out on shopping funds and feel pressure to live up to past amounts spent, way over the required $40. We've discussed these things a lot here but no big change has been made.

Anyways, I was thinking since there doesn't seem to be much interest in the traditional YT GE, we could try something different. Just an idea.

What if we all decide on a rescue to donate to, and if 5 people sign up, we pick the 5 yorkies who need the most TLC to make a little care package for. We could contact the rescue and ask what kind of supplies they need or what that specific yorkie likes.

None of us would know which yorkie we have as our buddy until the end. Then at the end we could just make a post about that yorkie and their story, to promote their adoption and explain what we sent them.

Or if the need is mostly financial and they are good on the little extra things, we could just pick a a yorkie to make a private donation of an undisclosed amount (at least $40) and instead of all the hints and all that, we just make a thread telling everyone about them ti try to get them adopted or fostered. I know we are jot allowed to ask for donations here....I don't want to break any rules. We could hold it in the rescue section of YT instead if this section.

This was just an idea I'm throwing out there bc I don't have time and money to do a full out GE right now, but I think we all should make time to support rescues, volunteer at shelters, etc! What do you guys think? Does anyone have any alternative GE ideas?
