RE: Donation Button - Follow-up

[cheryl deaton <c95039e11@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

We are assuming that all donations would be monetary.  There are people who
donate items to the Library or the Silent Auction (not that they would use the
"donate" button, but it is a possibility, especially if they are downsizing.
Maybe a "contact us" tab once they hit the donate button, then it could be
directed to the appropriate place
