I'm happy to provide proofreading and tightening up of text if someone wants to contribute but doesn't feel confident in their writing ability. Hell, I'm happy to do it even if a contributor does feel confident but still wants another set of eyes.

Please don't let a fear of having other people see what you write or self-consciousness in your writing ability stop you from participating!

If you need any $ for the domains, or some looking into the fair use of any copywritten materials please let me know.

Will let you know, the 6 domains cost me $53 (used a coupon the save money) and right now that isn't the end of the world but I will let you know.

Also, your idea via PM is a GREAT one, let's keep it under our hats until I can get it going!

It should be an emotional appeal, dramatic. It is first and foremost a marketing tool, hopefully with style and grace. It should ring people's guts out, just like this has done to all of us....but for a noble cause.

Along those lines , and I hate to sound morbid in any way , but " My Immortal" by Amy Lee has got to be one of the most beautiful , haunting and at the same time heartwrenching songs about losing a loved one I have ever heard .

Given the National reach of Meleanie's story , could the 2A Community /OC community as a whole across the Country raise enough donations to actually buy or build ( maybe building ala Habitat for Humanity like would be cheaper ) a Womens Shelter named after Meleanie ?

Thats one of the most visible and enduring tributes I can think of. I cant imagine there arent other groups or wealthy donors somewhere out there that would write a check for a significant amount.

I'm an electrical contractor so if this idea comes to fruition, ALL labor and materials are on me for rehab or new construction of a shelter. I can solicit donations from other construction suppliers as well. Please keep me posted via PM.

I also have a lot of web space that I can donate. I own servers Atlanta.

I'd like to see her memorial shoot a yearly event. Maybe we could sponsor something in her name. A free firearms safety course for women, a youth competition, or something like that.

You may also want to buy melaniehain.com, etc because that's a more common name.

I have a couple of photos from the times I met her. Granted she never really liked how she looked in the photos but to me she was just herself and I think she had a sparkle so I like the photos of her.

I already have that song on my computer so it will be easy to use. I love that song. There's another one that might work too but I can't remember the name of the song. I have it on my mp3 player and will try to find the youtube for it.

found it


Also I can help with the site management/maintenance, that is what I do after all.
