Looking back on 2006 – before posting the lists of best tv shows, best cd’s, etc., I wanted to make a list of charities that deserved my money this year.
Taking care of animals and the environment:
Defenders of Wildlife

Taking care of cats and dogs:
Two of our cats came from The Animal Care League.
