Argos you might have wanted to read the following notice on their site:
Quote:

Our frequent guests will notice some changes to the website which occurred over the weekend.  The most important change is the removal of the Paypal links which allowed you to donate to The Space Shuttle Children's Trust Fund.  From this point on we are encouraging our visitors to donate by going directly to The Fund's website.  There, you will find information on how to mail your donation directly to them.  All money we've collected to date will be sent to The Fund as soon as possible.  We are taking this step to remove ourselves as the "middle man" and to alleviate any appearance of impropriety which could result.  We think this is a better solution which ultimately protects us, and the charity.  We appreciate all of those who took the opportunity to give in the name of "New Voyages" - Gene would have been proud!




Best,
