To the blog world and anyone else who wants to help,
Friday, December 14, 2012, tragedy struck so many of us in ways we did not foresee. An elementary school, a small town in Connecticut and an entire country was shattered by a mass shooting. We (bloggers of the world) knew we wanted to help and came up with this:
On Tuesday, December 18th, there will be a blogger day of silence. We will post the button and that's it. Please try to not post anything else that day if possible.
We are also raising money that will go to an organization in the memory of this tragedy. The organization is called The Newtown Family Youth and Family Services.
Here is the official description of the support service we are donating to:
