Help naming a club/website
Hi guys,
I would like to offer you guys the opportunity to name this new club/website that I'm working(together with Rohan) on launching. As some of you may know, I am the president of an MSU club, Hospital Helpers. This year was the second consecutive year of Hospital Helpers. Sad to say, the bureaucracy involved in the running of an MSU club took a lot away from the actual purpose of the club(I will get to that in a sec.). So I decided that next year, we will not be with the MSU anymore, and instead start up an on-line community of people from Mac. This way, the website will attract people and provide a useful service at the same time.

So I need a new name for it, and Hospital Helpers will not do. If you do a google search you will see that there already is a Canadian organization by that name.

The purpose of the club is simple: go to a hospital and talk to the patients, make them smile at least once a day. Why? Because hospitals aren't the most comfortable places for people to spend extended periods of time(>1 day) in. A smile is bound to help

So will you help me find a name for us? I will pick the most appropriate name, but feel free to go crazy!

Thanks for your help,
Adrian

Helpers for Hospitals?

Good luck.

Shining Through? Its vague and uplifting, which is always a plus.

I know, that's why I'm getting help. It's harder than it may seem

Serious question: do people/patients actually enjoy talking to strangers? Has anyone asked you to leave/something similar?

It's not about larger. It's about one that can better accomodate the uses of MacInsiders. There's a lot of static content which needs to be dealt with, and everytime we refresh a page we load the same image and stuff all over again, and those eat up a ton of bandwidth.
