River Cacher,

What a great Idea. It's nice of you to put those together for all of us who helped The Finding Four complete their mission. It was so nice for TFF to let us in on their mission so we can show our support as a group !!!!!! I know TFF is working hard to put this together and I'm sure it was as exciting to see the donations the cachers sent to them to package, and I'm sure the caching soldiers will love opening TFFs BOX O GOODIES. Thank You River Cacher and The Finding Four for all you've done !!!

YOU ROCK !!!!!!! :D

WOW!! Those are really awesome cards! It STILL amazes me the number of folks who are coming up online to offer their support and those who are generously sending donations. It's really good to know that we still have support out there!

 

I did get an odd email. PLEASE, PLEASE don't send any cash or any other type of monies as or with your donation. If that is something you are interested in, please understand it is totally unsolicitated. If you are interested in some worth while places that take donations, drop me an email or PM. I know when someone tells someone else who tells someone about gathering donations for Events, things might get a little miscommunicated. I just don't want anyone to run into any trouble.

 

Again, I really love all the kind emails and offers. Please understand that we are totally happy with anything you want to send, even if it is your prayers of safe return. Thanks to all who are involved!!

I believe this email has to do with my cards you like.

I had a few people say they did not have anything to donate and i offered to do a card up with a coin on it and i would charge them six dollars to cover part of the cost for the coin, card, postage and if they paid me via pay pal.

I was not making anything form this and was donating my time and efforts to help as much as possible.

I was not asking for monetary donations to give to the event but i was willing to sell them, a coin to send if they did not have anything.

I will paste my post of the Idahogeocachers forum.

 

COPY BELOW

Yes of course i will be sending some UR#1 Geocoins from me and my kids.

It would be nice to have a bunch of the UR#1 Geocoins go over there so the soldiers could send some to there loved ones that are #1 in there life.

I would be willing to sell these UR#1 Geocoins at $6.00 each and make a card to go with them for anyone that would like me to send one over there.

Please note the price of the Coins, Shipping, Cards and Pay Pal fees will not cover the whole cost so these will be availible at this cost for this event donation only.

You can send me a email if you are interested.

 

I am so sorry if i offended anyone from trying to help support our fellow military geocachers.

There is only so much i can donate and do.

I had asked if anyone wanted to donate 6.00 to help cover part of the cost for the coin, shipping, card and etc.

I have recieved some really negative responses on this and if i offended anyone i am sorry for trying to help.

 

I am still working hard to get as much as we can from Idaho.

I got two more coins from grampapa in Northern Idaho.

Now, My turn.

I evidently offended Hollora for some reason with my post re: the Thank You for the cards. I thought it was a nice thing to do , That's All!!!She sent me an email that bothered me alot.

I referred "A Group" because TTF mentioned in her post that it may help bring more interest in the mission if we sent to them and they took on the cost of the shipping to Iraq. At least that's how I understood it.

If I offended anyone by my post I'm Sorry. I just reread my post and I still can't figure out what I said wrong. I thought it was wrote OK.

The email I sent was not intended to upset you Opalsns, rather to ask a question.......I am sorry and have tried to apologize. It is wonderful what you and all the others are doing to support the troops. For the record, I, too, did not intend to bother or offend you and I am Sorry.

Just wanted to let those out there know that I received a great box from dlkempf. What a great little hand written note in there for us. I will make sure to spread around all the goodies and those coins are really awesome!

 

On a side note about some of the posts above (I haven't quite figured out how to quote someone's posts). I think everything boils down to the fact that it is very hard to truly "read" a person’s feeling and emotions in an email. But I think that we can all agree that EVERYONE here that is sending their prayers, well wishes and donations represents the not-so-often-seen good side of people. If I could line each one of you guys up, I how be honored to shake your hands. Some of you might even get a bear hug!!!

River Cacher,

I have been logging all donations this weekend and so far I am overwhelmed by all the outpouring from

everyone.

 

It looks as if we will have quite an addition from ORIDA, that is great, thank you.

 

I have not seen a Finding Irish 4, Fredhead or Queenie-Boo-Bay, tag.

We would be honored if you could see your way to producing one for us, we look forward to seeing it

posted here in the thread.

 

Again thank you, my friend.

 

P.S. Dropping you an e-mail

The support has been outstanding from the Idahogeocachers.

The Donation Request have came in Via Idahogeocachers.org Forum.

As for the ORIDA Geocacher part it is just a small group that host events out in the small rual towns.

I have not recieved much via ORIDA as Idahogeocachers has a Forum and a lot of active Geocachers.

We hope and are working on getting more People Involved in Geocaching around the Eastern Oregon (OR)and Western Idaho (IDA) Area as there is endless beauty to explore and share with fellow Geocachers.

I was hoping to contact the Geocachers that attend the ORIDA events but the first person i contacted with a email regarding this got very upset and misunderstood and over reacted on this.

The day of the ORIDA event and the Event Page will be the only way i am able to contact Fellow Geocachers in the Rural Areas due to me not using Email and stirring up issues.

We do have a lot of active members involved with Geocaching and if they deploy i will be making sure we host a few events to help collect and show our support with donations being able to be dropped off and etc.

 

The support from Idaho and other areas has been great for this event and i am so Pleased to be involved with such wonderful supportive group of Geocachers.

 

I will be making some cards for you as well :)

 

Thanks Again to All For The Amazing Support.
