This is the unofficial donation thread.

we need money for food, porta potties,supplies n nfc what all else yet since this is the UNofficial thread :D


all paypal donations go to boardmeet@67-72chevytrucks.com

at this time we will NOT be taking money orders or checks for donations. That may change in the near future.


A big thank you to all who donated last year, be it cash, prizes, supplies etc. we could not pull it off without your support.

so with that said, since the meet is creeping up and going to bite us all in the butt very soon... if you want a place to relieve yourself that doesnt involve the woods and leaves and you would like to be able to eat :) the donation address is above

Not quite as much activity in this thread as was hoped for. I'm sure that the board will do their part and I'll do as much as I can. So don't be shy just jump in with what ever you can and know that it is appreciated. Thanks Ron

Re: Donations for the Board meet needed!!
Right now we have $387 total. That will pay for the porta potty rental IICR. Last year we spent $1500 on food and porta potties etc. Unless we are able to get more funds in, we will not end up providing food this year.

Thank you to all who have sent in donations thus far.

Liz, I don't mean this to be out of line and if it is I apologize, but I think we should just be assigned something to bring and if people can't then donate a little money for things to be bought to help out with the food and supplies. Kind of like it's always done in Maggie, but obviously on a little bit bigger scale.

Just don't see why it's the board's responsibility to feed our faces :) Just my .02, it may not even be worth that.

that was tried last year and did not work. Folks commit and do not come through, or feel put on the spot to do things they can not. We will be shopping for all supplies and food when we are there.

There are lots of folks who can not afford to donate. They can feel free to bring a little something with them for a door prize or such instead. example being, go to the local dollar store and pick up 2 lil outside toys or 2 pocket flashlights etc. Your only out of pocket $2 and change and have helped a bunch.

And this is not meant in hate at all, im just half asleep withs creaming kids everywhere.. but I know of several folks who I know can NOT afford to donate, and they sent in $5 or so to help anyway. One is not going to the meet, is out of work and still sent in a small donation .


Right now we have enough for the porta potties, hot dogs hamburgers and supplies to go with. It all depends on how many folks show up to what we can do.

Liz,

Can we hand you a lump of cash when we arrive on Friday night? Is that too late? Or must we send it thru Paypal (and involuntarily give them a chunk of this cash too)?

Let me know.
Thanks!

We will be donating through Paypal just like last year. If you guys want us to, we can bring all the buns that are still in our freezer from NORWOOD. (we actually still have them) As far as anything else goes, you know that all you have to do is say bring THIS Mike and Rachel, and it is good as done. Can't WAIT to see you all again. See you soon, M&R

We will be bringing a bunch (large bunch) of Susan's famous chocolate chip cookies---enough for everyone (if we can keep SOME from taking 10 at a time and you know who your are!!). The ingredients and the cooking preparations are already under way but the final production will be staged to the last minute as we use no preservatives on these little jewels. I am going to disguise my truck to avoid possible roadblocks along the way. Huck

We can give you an armed escort if you need it. Don't want the cookie truck hijacked.

I don't know anything about the link. I would say just bring it to the meet and give it to Liz.

prizes i honestly have no clue, but the 3 I have. Donations are under $800 and $420 of that went to porta pots off the bat :)
we will make it stretch and have a blast.

that was the unofficial donation address. boardmeet@67-72chevytrucks.com is the official one. Unofficial donators have to do the dishes.

As long as they are paper plates, we can just put them in a pile, add a splash of fuel and LIGHT THEM.:devil:
No more dirty dishes.
