You go girl! It looks like you've got the major genres of male interest picked out. The car thing should be particularly popular. the only thing I can come up with right now is some kind of Fly fishing or Bass fishing thing. Some kind of "casting" instruction together with an actual trip. The fly fishing thing is very popular and could be worked from several angles. Hook up with a gear manufacturer or store such as Orvis to get some corporate sponsorship and/or structure. I'll post more ideas as I think of them. Talk soon. carl Dearest Dianne,

We all need a father figure like yours in our lives. But, if we don't have it, then reading about the many projects you're getting involved with is inspiring and motivating. I always believe that there is more good in this world than what we hear or read in media every day. Your "Get Out and Give Back" is a remarkable effort and movement, which I hope a media outlet would consider promoting and taking it to scale. We need more of your Dad's stories out there, and more of the Jane Hess's volunteer work and writing to keep us in the service of good. There is so much we can learn from each other and much we can give to one another through service and storytelling. You are an inspiration to all, Jane! The world is a better place because of you. Love, Marga Dear Jane,

At Suited for Change, we sometimes have a similar experience. An unemployed woman, an opportunity and yet she rejects assistance to help her move from where she's at to a new place.
