Open Directory Project
20/10/13 00:43 Filed in: Open Directory Project
Upon my evaluation of the Open Directory Project, I have rated it at seventy-five percent.
The Open Directory Project, also known as DMOZ or the ODP, is a pioneer in the web directory industry, accomplishing a remarkable task under the capable leadership of its founders, Rich Skrenta, Bob Truel, Chris Tolles, Bryn Dole, and Jeremy Wenokur, utilizing a volunteer staff of thousands of editors throughout the world.
I was one of those editors. I was with the project since before it became known as the Open Directory Project, and was an early meta editor with the ODP. I spent several rewarding years with the ODP, although it has been several years since I have had a login.
Originally called Gnuhoo, after facing criticism for its use of a name that implied a relationship with the GNU project, its name was briefly changed to NewHoo, which Yahoo objected to. Around that time, it was acquired by Netscape, and became the Open Directory Project. As the directory was hosted on the subdomain, directory.mozilla.org, which still redirects to the ODP domain, the Open Directory Project chose the domain name, dmoz.org, and is often known as DMOZ. Before long, Netscape was itself acquired by America Online, and the ODP became an asset of AOL.
In past reviews and comments that have made, here, in our forum, and elsewhere, I have questioned whether anyone was still alive at the Open Directory Project, since I hadn't heard of anyone having been able to have a site listed in more than a decade. Since then, I have heard from people who have had their sites listed in the Open Directory Project, so I can no longer make that claim.
I believe that it is fair to say, however, that the Open Directory Project no longer has the large, dedicated staff of volunteers that it once had, and that its remaining editors are having trouble keeping up. Some categories haven't been updated in years, and the chances that a submitted site will be accepted into the directory is low and long.
Nevertheless, if you have a website to promote, a listing in the Open Directory Project surely isn't going to do you any harm, and it's free.
The index page of the Open Directory Project has a Google PageRank of seven, and there are internal pages as deep as eight levels in that still have PageRank, including at least one seventh-level category with a PageRank of four. Its Moz Domain Authority is 97/100, its Alexa Traffic Rank is 768, and its SEMRush Rank is 12,940.
The Open Directory Project has 1,183 Facebook likes, 298 Google+ clicks, 9,850 StumbleUpon stumbies, and 2,519 Twitter tweets.
In our reviews, we evaluate a site according to five general areas: aesthetics (10%), content (25%), intuitiveness (20%), quality (20%), and usefulness (25%), assessing each directory from the perspective of a directory user, rather than a site submitter or SEO professional.
Aesthetics - 6/10
The Open Directory Project has a retro look, but that's fitting for one of the oldest web directories on the Internet. In fact, the ODP has undergone only one design change that I am aware of, and that was when they replaced their logo in 1999. I don't mind retro, and I don't require frequent design changes. I preferred its original logo, anyhow.
The main menu takes up a small amount of real estate on the directory's index page, consisting of sixteen upper-level categories, with its World category taking up the bottom line of the menu.
In my opinion, the one thing that mars the directory's index page is its Kids and Teens category. Not only is this the only category that consists of more than one word, but it's colored. I was a meta editor at the time that they added this category, and disagreed with it at the time. I still do.
Other than that, while there is nothing overly impressive about the look of the Open Directory Project's pages, neither is there much that is particularly wrong with it.
The directory makes excellent use of its above and below the line feature in its subcategories, which allows it to separate subcategories into as many as three different areas, which not only aids its usability and intuitiveness, but the organization also plays into its aesthetics.
Content - 21/25
I was not surprised to find the Open Directory Project topped out at my preset 200,000 link limit when I scanned the directory with my Scrutiny program, as the ODP has a huge amount of content.
Of the two hundred thousand links that were checked, Scrutiny found 5,622 that were identified as bad, or approximately .02 percent. Of these, a fair number were to the now defunct yahooligans.yahoo.com domain. The majority of the bad links identified returned the following three errors: 404, unsupported URL, or A server with the specified hostname could not be found.
However, the directory includes quite a few empty categories, but I'll speak more about that within the quality section. The Open Directory Project is lacking in fresh content, and that will be reflected here, as well as elsewhere.
Intuitiveness 20/20
The Open Directory Project's taxonomy is excellent, which may be attributed to two things. At the time that its current category structure was developed, they employed a professional taxonomist, who advised and made recommendations, as the directory's cadre of editors debated every aspect of its taxonomy. Its regional structure alone was the result of more than two years of argument.
The result was a directory structure that is very easy to follow, complemented by good use of @links, See Also links, and its above and below the line features, which greatly enhance the user experience.
In addition, the ODP's World tree, which lists sites in languages other than English, duplicates the general directory as much as possible.
Quality - 13/20
Unfortunately, the Open Directory Project came about at a time when bandwidth and server space was at a premium, and perhaps this is what led to its adoption of skimpy site descriptions, offering very little information, in sentence fragments, as a standard, one that has since been adopted by many other directories.
While I was involved with the Open Directory Project, I know that a large number of editors frowned on the use of relevant keywords in site descriptions, and would regularly strip out any keyword or keyword phrases that might be used to adequately describe the site. Thus, site descriptions are not particularly descriptive, often consisting of only a few words, and sometimes as little as two. On the positive side, I have not come across any site descriptions that were promotional.
There are editors within the Open Directory Project who maintain their areas of responsibility within the directory, but there are many categories that have not been updated in years, with submitted sites languishing in the queue, even when submitted to empty categories. Due, no doubt, to reduced editor involvement, far too many of the Open Directory Project's categories are stale.
Usefulness - 13/25
There was a time when the Open Directory Project was the place to go when you were looking for something on the Internet. There is still a lot to find in the directory but, as mentioned earlier, there is not a lot of fresh content. There are several empty categories at the lower levels of its category structure.
Its excellent taxonomy is a large plus when it comes to usefulness, as it is very easy for someone to find his way around the directory. However, its lack of descriptive content renders its search feature far less useful than it would otherwise be.
Category descriptions are used to provide instructions to site submitters, not to guide directory users.
Extra Credit - 2
Whatever might be said about the Open Directory Project, it was a true pioneer in the web directory industry, one of only a few that are still online. The Open Directory Project will always have a warm place in my heart, and for these reasons, I am giving it two extra credit points.
Overall Rating - 75
Upon my evaluation of the Open Directory Project, I have rated it at seventy-five percent.
I would like nothing better than to see the Open Directory Project get new blood, or perhaps some of its old blood back, so that its categories would be fresh once again. Times are tougher today, I know, and it may be more difficult to find people who are willing to volunteer their time for a project that is owned by a for-profit company.
During the years that I was a meta editor there, it was not unusual for me to devote more time to the Open Directory Project, in a typical week, than I was to my paid job.
While there were, no doubt, some unethical actions on the part of some of the directory's thousands of editors, this was not the norm, and corruption was dealt with quickly and regularly. In various forums, I come across a lot of people complaining that editors with the ODP are there only to add their own sites, and those of their clients. While I cannot attest for current practices within the directory, as I haven't had a login for years, I heard a lot of the same stuff when I was an editor there, and I don't believe that it was true then, so I don't know that it is true today.

Efficiency in pre-merger and post-merger non-bank financial institutions
A two-part process is employed to analyse the role of efficiency in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in Australian credit unions during the period 1993-1997. The measures of efficiency are derived using the non-parametric technique of data envelopment analysis. The first part uses panel data in the probit model to relate pure technical efficiency, along with other managerial, regulatory and financial factors, to the probability of merger activity, either as an acquiring or acquired entity. The results indicate that loan portfolio diversification, management ability, earnings and asset size are a significant influence on the probability of acquisition, though the primary determinant of being acquired is smaller asset size. The second part uses a tobit model adapted to a panel framework to analyse post-merger efficiency. Mergers appear to have improved both pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency in the credit union industry. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

One purpose of a trademark search is to determine if someone has already trademarked your intended mark.

They Won't Register The Same Mark Twice
After a trademark application is filed, the USPTO will conduct a trademark search of their records as part of the examination process. However, the USPTO's trademark search is not done for your benefit, they are looking for a reason to reject your application. To save yourself time and expense, do a trademark search before filing your application. The USPTO does not refund fees.
You Can Do A Trademark Search Online
You can do a trademark search online and find pending trademark applications and registered trademarks. Use the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) to search for trademarks registered in the United States.
Visit The Library
You can trademark search in person at any Patent and Trademark Depository Library (PTDL). PTDLs are located in every state and you can use their search facilities.
Searching For Graphic Marks
If your mark includes a visual design element, you will need to search for it by using a design code. To locate the proper design code(s), consult the Design Search Code Manual.
Conflicting Marks
Check the current status of any potentially conflicting application or registration with the TARR system. The fact that a mark is not present in the database does not necessarily mean that the mark is not currently being used as a trademark. You might have to do a common law search to find it.
Common Law Search
A common law search for trademarks involves searching beyond government records. It can involve checking phone directories, yellow pages, industrial directories, state trademark registers, the Internet, and more. The purpose of a common law search is to determine if a mark is being used by others when they have not filed for federal trademark registration.
Federal registration is not required to establish rights in a trademark. Common law rights arise from actual use of a mark. Generally, the first to either use a mark in commerce or file an intent to use application with the USPTO has the ultimate right to use and registration.

This invention relates generally to the automation of semiconductor fabrication operations.
A semiconductor fabrication facility generally includes a large number of different process areas. Each process area may include a specific tool type that is responsible for a particular operation. There may be multiple tool instances of a given tool type. Examples of such process areas include implantation, deposition, etching, metallization, etc.
Wafer lots to be processed pass through the various process areas on their way to becoming completed semiconductor integrated circuit wafers. Thus, a number of steps are done in various process areas, but some alteration of the order of the steps may be possible. In addition, a number of different tools in any process area may be selected to run any particular lot. A lot is a collection of wafers that are grouped together for processing and transport. In other words, any specific process area may have more than one tool that may be capable of performing an operation that a given lot needs.
Generally, the assignment of lots to tools begins with a human operator who manages a given entity cluster. An entity is a semiconductor metrology tool capable of processing a lot. A cluster is a collection of like entities. The operator may notice that lots have arrived or that entities are waiting for lots. The operator may then use heuristics to assign lots to entities. The operator may also use his or her experience to select entities to run lots.
A state-independent constraint is one that is independent of the state of a tool, depending only on the configuration of the tool. The state is a set of variables that define a system such that, knowing the value of the state variables at time zero, one knowing the inputs or system changes can compute the state of the system at a later time. Conversely, a state-dependent constraint is one that depends on what the current state of the tool is, such as what types of lots are running on the tool or how the tool is currently operating.
The operator applies any available constraints, including state-independent and state-dependent constraints, to the lot entity assignments. If any of the constraints are violated, an error may be returned to the human operator. If not, the generated assignments are used to process the lots on entities either manually or automatically.
Ultimately, current management techniques for semiconductor fabrication facilities make relatively limited judgments about optimization, resulting in, to some degree, longer processing times.
A hypothetical organization of a semiconductor fabrication facility 100 is illustrated in
Each entity 102 may be coupled to a controller 106. The controller 106 may be an automated data processing device such as a computer. It may be on-site at the fabrication facility 100, as shown, or may be off-site. The controller 100 communicates with each of the entities 102. This communication interface may be hard wired or wireless, to mention two examples.
A number of entities 102 that operate similarly or with similar capabilities may be grouped as a cluster 104. Thus, a number of entities 102 may be handled as a unit, in that at least some lots may be assigned to any of a variety of entities within the cluster 104.
The controller 106 includes a process 10. The process 10 may be incorporated into the controller 106 as software or firmware. Thus, code may be provided to the controller 106 to enable it to implement an assignment algorithm in one embodiment. The algorithm enables the controller 106 to assign lots of wafers to be processed to entities 102 available or reasonably assumed to be available to process those lots. The aim is to process the lots efficiently to improve the throughput of lots through the semiconductor fabrication facility 100.
At a high level, this assignment may utilize a number of principles. One principle is that the overall algorithm may be modular in that it may be applied to any given process area within the fabrication facility. However, some aspects of the algorithm may be customized to each process area. Thus, the same algorithm may be run in an implant area and a deposition area, but certain customization may be done to facilitate optimization based on specific constraints. Those constraints may include a variety of variables affected by the cost of the equipment, the speed of the equipment, the availability of the equipment, the sensitivity of the equipment, and an infinite number of other variables.
In this way, the management of the algorithm in each process area may be facilitated because the algorithm, as a whole, is common to each process area, even though it may be customizable for specific areas. This permits one who has general knowledge of the algorithm to maintain the algorithm for any specific process area.
In order to establish the algorithm, a series of steps may be undertaken in order to customize the algorithm as necessary for each process module. Initially, the owners of a process work area within the fabrication facility 100 work with factory operation managers to decide the functions that will go into a cost function. Basically, the cost function is associated with each entity within the process area. The cost function indicates how desirable it may be for a specific entity to process a particular lot. The considerations which go into the cost function may be a combination of different factors, such as overall cycle time of a lot, entity utilization, and the like. The cost function may be variable over time.
Next, the specification of state-independent and state-dependent constraints may be undertaken by the owners of the process work area, such as process engineers and operation managers. The process and operational constraints that should be imposed when doing the lot entity assignment may be better defined.
Next, the same experts may determine how to prioritize lots for assignment. For instance, one choice for sorting order may be high priority lots to be assigned first, followed by non-high priority lots in a first-in, first-out order. In the first-in, first-out order, the first "in" may refer to the time that a lot arrived at the process step.
Then, the maximum number of lots to be assigned to an entity at any given time may be determined. The assignment of lots to entities is advantageously not done too early in some embodiments. In case an entity goes down and is unable to process any more material, there may be a significant cost in moving all the assigned lots to another entity. Assigning lots to entities when the entity is free may be too late, since some time is needed to retrieve a lot from a stocker and to deliver it to an entity via an automated material handling system. Thus, there is a desirable number of lots queued for each entity type. The setting of the desired queue length for a given entity will be referred to herein as a "watermark."
A stocker is a device capable of housing many front opening unified pods. A front opening unified pod is a physical box that stores a lot. It may provide a sealed environment for wafers in the lot. It may be compatible with an automated transport via an automated material handling system. Thus, a stocker is a device that is capable of housing many front opening unified pods and is adaptable to a particular automated material handling system.
Once the customization is complete for a given module, that customization may be coded into automated logic. Thus, in some aspects the automated logic is customizable and in other aspects the automatic logic is the same from process module to process module.
Referring to
Then, referring to block 14, the list of available lots may be sorted using the priorities of a process module or area. (Note that blocks in bold are customizable). For example, one sorting option may be to assign certain "hot lots" to the top priority and the rest of the lots may be sorted by time of arrival at a given entity or process step. Many other prioritization techniques may be utilized. The point is that within any given area, the way that the priorities are assigned may be customized. Thus, the Implant area may have a different priority scheme than another area. The algorithm is modular in the sense that it can be applied to each of these areas with customization.
Then, referring to block 16, the required lots are computed. This may be done as a sum of the head room in all the cluster entity queues. The head room is the difference between the number of lots that a given entity may queue (i.e., the watermark) minus the number of lots that are already queued. Thus, each entity has a given queue length. The required lots are determined as a sum of the available spaces within all the queues of a cluster of entities. Each entity may have a watermark which is its pre-ordained queue length. Thus, the sum of the watermark minus the actual queue length of physical lots present in the queue for a given entity determines the so-called required lots.
Then, in block 18, the lot list is sorted to get the top N lots. The way that the top N lots are determined, in one embodiment, is to look at what are the required lots and what are the number of hot lots for a given entity. Then, the top N lots are equal to the maximum of these two numbers. For example, if there are three required lots for a given entity and one hot lot, the top N lots may include three lots. If there are three required lots and four hot lots, then N is four.
Next, the state-independent constraints are applied. This, too, is a customizable step. Each process module may customize what are state-independent and state-dependent variables.
Then, two iteration loops begin. A first loop goes from I=1 to N, which is the top lot iteration. It goes from the diamond 22 to the block 40. The next loop is for J=1 to M where, again, M is the number of available entities. Thus, the top N lots are processed first and then the rest of the lots are processed thereafter.
Within the loops, the first check at diamond 26 determines whether the potential assignment of lots and entities violates state-independent constraints. If no state-independent constraint is violated, the flow continues on to apply the state-dependent constraints. This may be done in block 28. A check at diamond 30 determines whether any state-dependent constraint is violated for any lot entity combination or assignment.
If any state-independent constraint is violated, as determined at diamond 26, or any state-dependent constraint is violated, as determined at diamond 30, the cost value of the combination may be set to a maximum cost value in block 32. In other words, the cost value is assigned to a particular entity to make that combination of lot and entity assignment undesirable.
Then, in block 34, the cost function value is calculated. This calculation may be customized on a process module area basis.
In block 38, the lowest cost entity is selected for assignment of a given lot, while ensuring that the cost is less than a maximum value, thereby completing, as to that combination, the lot to entity assignment process. Then, the cluster state is updated with the selected assignment, as also indicated in block 38. When all the lots have been processed, a check at diamond 42 determines whether all lots are assigned to entities. If so, the assignments are returned as indicated in block 44.
Otherwise, a check at diamond 46 determines if there are more lots in the cluster that have not yet been considered. If not, the flow ends. If so, the unassigned lots in the cluster are collected and sorted using area priorities (block 48).
In some embodiments of the present invention, the total cycle time for lots in a fabrication facility may be reduced with improved entity utilization. The method of automated lot-entity assignments may be advantageous in terms of more optimal decision making, while respecting process and operational constraints. These constraints may include process constraints such as those that prevent an entity from processing a lot due to a temporary process excursion on the entity. There may also be operational constraints that require a preferential assignment of a certain type of lot to a specific set of entities, for operational efficiency.
The optimal assignment may be achieved by searching through the space of possible lot/entity combinations to pick the lot/entity assignment that allows lots to get processed at a process step as quickly as possible. In general, the search may pick the assignment that minimizes the cost of a combination of factors, such as cycle time of the lot, load balancing across a set of entities, and other considerations in some embodiments.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the workload of operators may be reduced. An automated optimal lot/entity assignment frees technicians to focus on more value added tasks, such as dealing with entity anomalies or errors.
In some embodiments, the variability in lot-to-entity assignment strategies may be reduced across different process areas. The automatic assignment of lots for processing entities reduces the intervention by a human operator in many embodiments. This may reduce the variability in decision making since different operators may use different heuristics to determine lot/entity assignments. The reduction in variability in decision making may impact variability and production output of a process area in the fabrication facility, improving overall throughput in some cases.
In addition, the ability to impose fabrication facility-wide priorities in a centralized manner may be achieved in some embodiments. The automated lot/entity assignment may provide for customizable cost functions. These customized cost functions may be designed to also include factory-wide priorities. Thus, when a high level management decision is made to prioritize a particular product, that priority can be imposed across the factory and across all process areas.
References throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one implementation encompassed within the present invention. Thus, appearances of the phrase "one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" are not necessarily referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be instituted in other suitable forms other than the particular embodiment illustrated and all such forms may be encompassed within the claims of the present application.
While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.

Based on the knowledge that people immunized with irradiated sporozoites-the infectious form of the parasite injected in the mosquito's saliva into the bloodstream that take refuge in liver cells-are protected against infection, Perre Druihle and his team identified a sporozoite antigen that elicits a powerful immune response. They found that injection of this antigen, LSA-3, into chimpanzees protected them from infection by sporozoites.
Malaria expert, Stephen Hoffman of the Naval Medical Research Center in Baltimore, explains the potential value of the research in an accompanying News & Views article.

When you ask a Fibro person, How are you? our minds race like spies wondering whether we can trust you with the truth.
We have to endure to the end.....very encouraging!
So many people I love and care about deeply are going through the toughest (I hope) times of their lives right now. To all you warriors out there who aren't sure what the future holds, try to take it easy on yourself. You haven't given up. You are trying your hardest. You are surviving.

Barrel Junction
Barrel Junction is the product of 20 years of cooking and soul-searching. While Ronald A. DeLuca Jr.'s glittering trophy case full of gold-plated steaks is a testament to the virtuosity displayed at his four previous restaurants—among them Blue and Pangea—his true culinary passion is something simpler: "fresh, satisfying comfort food," to quote the chef himself. After impressing the critics at his Pittsburgh-area restaurants, he spent six months operating a specialty taco and hot-dog restaurant in a rustic corner of Colorado. His penchant for approachable food reignited, DeLuca returned to open Barrel Junction, where he fuses his critically acclaimed technique with his love for comfort and simplicity. A carefully selected roster of 22 craft beers complements burgers and barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs heaped with toppings, and hand-tossed white, red, and deep-dish pizzas.

A 14-year-old joyrider was able to outrun police in Utah but couldn't make it around a protective parent in a pickup truck. According to KSTU Fox 13 News in Utah, the thieving youngster's grandfather reported the white Hyundai Veloster missing, and police were already searching for it. As it turns out, his grandson had taken it and was driving like a crazy person. He even sped through a park where children were playing and into a neighborhood (video below).

Yesterday, we had reported that this week's snow and ice storm in the Southeast had claimed 13 lives, but this scary traffic camera video from Mobile, AL proves just how easily it could have reached 14. A tow truck driver cleaning up the ice-related crash of a Toyota Tacoma on I-10 found himself just inches away from an out-of-control Nissan Xterra.
Tiny train collides with actual car to surprising effect

Let this video be a lesson that no matter how small – or deserted – train tracks appear to be, you should never stop on them. The video was shot this week at Hermann Park in Houston, TX as families rode around the sprawling park in a scaled-down train. For some reason (we suspect waiting for a parking spot), the driver of this Honda Accord stopped on the tracks, and the train did not have enough time to stop as it rounded the corner and found its path blocked by the ill-positioned ca

The Euro NCAP just tested a recent batch of new cars including the 2014 BMW i3, and the EV Bimmer scored less-than-perfect results. Though not horrible, BMW's all-electric/range-extended i3 was given a four-star (out of five possible) crash rating due to concerns with front-occupant whiplash and side-impact protection.

A growing number of states are starting to adopt "move over" laws to help protect emergency workers, and this video posted by the Massachusetts State Police on its Facebook page shows the importance of said laws. Captured by a traffic camera in the Thomas P O'Neill Jr. Tunnel in Boston, the video shows a trooper alerting traffic of upcoming lane closures and a small black car (shown above) narrowly missing hitting the cruiser at a high rate of speed.

In the closing laps of the second race, Dario Franchitti made contact with a slower driver, which catapulted his racecar up into t

Russia. As much as that sprawling, Eurasian country has given us, nothing – not even vodka – can rank above the country singlehandedly turning the dash cam into a spectator sport. Thanks to various safety issues, those diminutive little video cameras are a necessary part of life in the former communist country. While we're sure they spend most of their lives recording meaningless miles, every once in a while, they capture something truly extraordinary.

By this point, we shouldn't be surprised by the oodles of random dashcam videos floating around the Internet, but this car crash definitely caught us off guard. As the video shows, a vehicle slowly navigating through a tight parking lot, and then we see what appears to be a Hyundai Getz pulling into the lot with a full head of steam before hitting our camera-mounted driver head-on.
Drunk driver causes Boston Globe truck to fly off highway

Just last week, we wondered how lucky a driver could get after we watched a tractor trailer get airborne and burst into flames after being run off the road, but one newspaper delivery driver in Boston had luck on his side, too. Early Monday morning, 25-year-old Vevencia Bellgarde was allegedly drunk driving when her Cadillac swerved into another lane forcing a Boston Globe delivery truck off the road. The whole incident was caught on video by a traffic camera. The mangled mess you see above is t

Dash cams have caught some pretty amazing events on camera, as the unforgettable sights of the meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia proved in February. As another example, a trucker driving through Greensburg, Indiana, had his dash cam rolling when another semi truck caught major air over a freeway before crashing down in a ball of flames. (Some understandably foul language makes the video Not Safe For Work, so be sure to turn the volume down if you don't have headphones.) Fortunately,

YouTube is a great place to show off your vehicle and your driving skills, but more often than not, it just helps to prove that vehicle stunts should be left to the professionals.

Runners are asked to please bring at least TWO non-perishable food items to check-in/packet pickup on the day of the event. Food donations and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Lake Mills Food Pantry. The remaining proceeds will be divided amongst local charities.
Proceeds from our past Beer Run events total in excess of $148,600.00; each year we have also collected approximately 1,000 pounds of food. The 2016 donation amount was $22,918.06 and the Lake Mills Food Pantry also received almost 1,000 pounds of much needed food.
Help us to beat last year's totals in 2017!!
Lake Mills Food Pantry | http://www.svdplm.org/index.php/about-us/food-pantry
The Food Pantry, obviously, provides much needed assistance to our community by offering free food to low-income families. As part of our event, we hold a food drive during the Run, asking each participant to give 2 non-perishable food items. Each year, this event collects about 1000 pounds of food!
Humane Society of Jefferson County | http://hsjc-wis.com
Most people are familiar with the Humane Society but may not realize the scope of their reach; each year they assist hundreds of lost dogs and puppies by returning them to their loving owners and facilitate another hundred or more adoptions. Every year the HSJC must fundraise for over 65% of their total annual operating budget. And these days, they are attempting to raise a great deal more capital in order to provide the community with a new shelter facility.
