----------------------------Original message---------------------------- What can of worms have I opened?!!! I'm sorry if my message was misleading in any way, shape, or form. Unfortunately though Map Link has absolutely no control over who is to receive the 15 "donatated" globes. I was just trying to spread the good word. Please submit your requests directly to the Buckminster Fuller Institute at: The Buckminster Fuller Institute 2040 Alameda Padre Serra, Suite 224 Santa Barbara, CA 93103 Phone: (805)962-0022 Fax: (805)962-4440 E-Mail: [log in to unmask] According to a gentleman I spoke with earlier at the BFI, the globes will be given to organziations that they feel will benefit the most from having them. If, however, there are too many worthy applicants, they might be given away on a first come first serve basis. A side note: there is about a $120.00 shipping fee for the donated globes. I hope this information is helpful.
