Location: SW Mintsoda		Yes... I've donated two acoustics to the local chapter here in the Omaha area. It's a legit organization. They give you a receipt for your donation/s and let you determine the dollar amount of your gift for tax purposes.

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota		Thank You so much!!!

I have so many, and if I can help a Vet, it would be a real Blessing for me!
They give up so much for us, and what a Wonderful way to help them, with a good guitar and music!
I have sent a note off to the Minnesota liaison, to see if he will accept some help from me.

Thank you so much 360Ovation!!

Location: SW Mintsoda		Yes, the two I donated were lefties - I hope they eventually find their way into the hands of a couple southpaws. Both had solid tops (one was an all-solid wood Takamine), and were set up well.

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA		Hi, Nancy,
We have a similar organization here in CANADA. It focus on teaching guitar to vets, as music therapy for treatment of PTSD, as well as taking any guitar donations. Silly little boy me lost the link to this one when my laptop crashed around Easter. "LOO-SEE, you got some 'splainin' to do!"

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota		Thank You 360 and Mike S. it is really nice to know that they are a legit organization before you get too involved. I think what they are doing is Wonderful, and something that I could get behind to help, and feel good about.

It was really nice of you to donate Lefties 360, there are quite a few people who are, but there are not that many floating around. I am sure that you made a couple of southpaw Vets very, very happy!!

I have still not heard back from the MN liaison, but maybe he is away from his computer for the weekend. With the heat and humidity, anyone who has a lake cabin, is up there now! There was one other person to contact too, I can contact them also!

Thank You both so much for taking the time to respond, and let me know! I really appreciate it!
