Well, people tend to dimiss Paganism - and have no idea we are actually real and organized and do stuff. The Avalon group is composed of police officers, firefighters, and Emergency persons both US and Canadian. The Witches Voice is general site and news site for Pagans. Neither really qualify as a church - we tend to be more a community. DC Pagan Pride will send money - and it will be from several Pagan organizations as well as all the individuals that are going to the events this week. frankly as long as the money comes I am not sure its that important where its coming from. Many employers are doing things also.

all groups are helping. i consider paganism to be your
religion. i may be being simplistic there. i an glad
that your groups are helping. it looks like you have
examples of the multiple donations that i mentioned in
one of my post.
