Do you suppose if this OF.org were to create a web page with a webcam-- just think of all the hits and the money it could generate by the ads-- and people know it is for a good cause a place they love-- surely there is a tech savvy high school student needs something awesome on his college application " spear headed installation a web cam feature to elevate the visibility of OI grass roots organization and to enhance revenue generation" or something like that. Hope this helps.
