Red Cross benefit idea, help needed!

I've been feeling vaguely guilty because I haven't been in a
financial space to be able to donate to help those in need,
especially after the WTC horror. I have lots of time but no money,
and I've been trying to think of something useful I could do.
I think i've got it, but I'll need help. I would like to work with
the folks on this Forum to put together a design book that could be
sold and the profits would all go to the Red Cross under the
Hennapage Forum's name. I was thinking that if I could get people to
donate one or two pages each, we could have a gorgeous book in no
time and people would be glad to own it regardless of the donation.
We could put contact info for each person on their page, too. Does
this sound interesting? Email me directly if you would be
interested. Please don't feel you aren't good enough, or be shy
because you're not a "name" here, or anywhere for that matter.
Lurkers welcome. I'll put your designs in anonymously if that's what
you want. I will ask a few local print shops if they will do the
printing for free or cheap, which will help enormously.
I would also like some idea of who would be interested in selling
these once they're made. I'd like to get them all over the country,
or farther, if possible.
Does this sound possible?
