Please consider donating your connect reward points to help those in need in Haiti. Here is a link to Leslie Miller's post that explains how to do it. It's easy. I just did it. https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/help-those-haiti-your-rewards-points .

I just received this in an email Bob, We have received your request to use 100 points toward the United Way Worldwide Disaster Fund with a matching contribution from Symantec. This request has now been processed. We know that the monies you have donated will go along way to help with this effort. Thank you, CS

I have reached another 100 points and I have donated it to the suffering people in Haiti. I know some of you have multiple hundreds of points available. Please consider giving some of them to this relief fund. Symantec is matching your donation so it counts double. Thanks Symantec.

I am grateful to Symantec for being able to contribute in this manner - not only is the $ value of the points more than those of the South African Rands that I would've deposited into a relief fund, Symantec doubles my contribution with their matching donation! (The external USB drive will have to wait a bit longer!)

& yeah, those little treats I wanted can wait.

H E L P those in Haiti. Please.

Great idea Bob - how much money does your 100 points give?

Each 100 points is equal to $15 USD and Symantec matches it for a grand total of $30 USD.
I have done it twice so that equals a total of $60 USD going into the relief fund.
Thank you Symantec!

I have another 100 points pending approval for another donation. I'm not posting this to toot my own horn.
I am trying to keep this thread towards the top of the page while encouraging and challenging others to participate :-)
