Current Event
1. garbagebox.com.sapo.pt/ 2. 01/28/04 3. “£50,000 Suits City Charity” 4. Garbage singer Shirley Manson helped raise £50,000 for the Edinburgh Aids charity Waverley Care. She had help from Sir Elton John who donated a suit for an auction at the charity’s grand Tartan and Tiaras Ball. Anne Hunter bought the suit for £2000. 250 other guests came paying £100 each. Manson has been very involved in raising money for AIDS research every since a personal scare with the decease. 5. This is very good because through Shirley Manson’s celebrity she has raised a lot of money for AIDS research
Does this affect the economy? How?
Yes, this does affect the economy. A lot of money was raised for Aids research. This also brings in good press for Manson, increasing interest and possibly album sales.

Yeah two questions. This- £ means pounds, correct? And can you think of any other way that this affects the economy?

Well, today I had to get up in front of the class and say it. Everyone was like ,"Who's that" and when I turned it in the teacher looked at it and said "Shirley Manson?"

Well, when Shirl helps raise money for aids...which may include research of the disease which in turn will help find a cure or better treatmeants of people affected by the virus...this should help lower health care costs since we know more...I don't actually know if this help the economy...
Okay I am done.
