Back in October, PurpleRowCares donated $100 to the Mike Coolbaugh Memorial. We have received our next check from CafePress, and have another $100 to donate. Help us decide which worthy charity to support. In our previous suggestion post the following ideas were mentioned in addition to the Mike Coolbaugh Memorial:

• One of the two official team charities, Colorado Rockies Baseball Club Foundation or Colorado Rockies Charity Fund (read about them here)
• Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver
  

We can pick one of these, or choose something else. Help us decide!

And remember, you can still get your Purple Row merchandise and help support whatever charity we choose the next time around.

Most of this information is already in the previous t-shirt thread, but I thought it would be a good idea to have everything in one easily accessible place. Plus, some people may have stopped checking new posts over there.

The PurpleRowCares shop is now open for business! Get your Purple Row merchandise featuring designs created by various Purple Row members.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Because we have a Basic shop, we can only have one of each item available. So if you want a different design on any item, comment here or shoot us an e-mail at purplerow.cares@gmail.com and we can easily change it for you.
• I added a variety of products to our shop in addition to the apparel Charlie got us started with (and there are still more apparel options), but feel free to browse the various products CafePress offers and we can add anything else you're interested in.
  
• We can still add more Purple Row designs to the shop, if anyone has something they want us to upload.
• Although this all started out with the idea to come up with a t-shirt for our favorite Rockies blog, this is also a great way to give back at the same time. When and if the orders start coming in, we will have some profit that we can donate to charity. At some point we'll do a poll to decide what organization to support (depending on how things go, we may be able to eventually make donations to more than one charity).

Please feel free to comment here with any questions, or e-mail purplerow.cares@gmail.com.

Since we seem to have a lot of new members recently, I thought it would be fun to see where everyone lives to get to know each other a little bit better. I know the majority of us are probably somewhere in Colorado, but there are plenty of us elsewhere and it might be fun to see where our fellow fans are located. Maybe this can even facilitate some meet ups! I know I'd love to find someone in my area to go to games with.

They did this recently over at Mile High Report and it was neat to see how many places were represented. I'm sure we don't have nearly as many members as MHR and probably aren't quite as far flung, but it should be fun just the same. And maybe someone who's ambitious enough (I can't make any promises for myself) could do something similar to the MHR Around the World post.

So, Rowbots, tell us where you are! Comment with your city/state or city/country.
