What do you get the couple that has nothing?  What about the couple that has nothing and likes it that way?

We will be buying a home soon, and will need some luxuries (like a bed and tv) at that point.  A gift card from Sears would be most helpful to us.  We are registered at Sears (we're listed under Adam Berg or Susan Rakowski; location: Aloha OR) for some items for the house and we have also created an online registry (click here) for a few specific items that we know we will use and enjoy.  Still, those are all luxuries--we don't need anything.  To that end, we have selected a few non-profits and our college as great organizations that help people improve themselves.  Feel free to donate in lieu of giving a gift.

 

 

Jewish Family and Child Services:  Adam used to work here.  It is a great organization staffed by wonderful people (now that Adam is out). JFCS serves all communities in the Portland area.

 

Catholic Family Services:  This organization follows a long tradition of helping those most in need.

 

Lewis & Clark College:  We met here.  We both received a wonderful education, and would support any effort to help others get the same quality of education.
