+yummykaz Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 El Diablo, I am planning to introduce caching to my youth group. I have seen the avitar contests, but my avitar is my favorite thing, my family which is exciting to me, but not many others! Do you ever donate a stick to something like that, a youth group?

I try to donate as much as possible. It's like that saying that the rich and famous like to use..."I try to give back to the community." Well...I'm niether rich or famous, but I try to help out. My only concern is that this is a youth group that is being introduced to caching. They may or may not take an interest in it. I would hate to spend the time creating a hiking staff that wasn't appreciated nor wanted. Send me an email and we can discuss it.

+pstar Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Thanks, Pobre and El D. 5 tix are good. It only takes one to win. Plus, there is no way to prove that I actually donated the miles until I get my next statement and I don't want to take away from those donating hard, cold cash. Pobre, nice hats, btw. It would be more impressive if you switched them around! "Yesterday has been and gone. Tomorrow will I find the sun or will it rain?" -Ozzy Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted October 26, 2003 Author Share Posted October 26, 2003 First off...pstar, that was a very commendable thing you did. I hope that others will follow your lead. As far as the total...we are still at 600.00 and a pair of round trip airline tickets. So far nothing new today.

jarja_grl and G-man Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Thanks for the Bump! I didn't see this before. I'll be happy to donate in memory of two good friends of mine. Heather Johnson lost a brave fight with Osteogenic Sarcoma 7 years ago. She was 10 years old and remains the most amazing human I've ever known. She experienced amputation at the hip and a double thorocotomy and still entertained publically whenever her health allowed. She was a talented singer. I still miss her. She was my best friend's daughter. Also, Gabrielle Thompson, who we lost four years ago to neuroblastoma after a three year remission. She was 7. Both these wonderful girls received wishes from the Make a Wish foundation. They both went to Disney and Heather even got to be on the set of Home Improvement. She met Jonathon Taylor Thomas (who she had a big crush on) and she saw Wilson's uncovered face! Thanks El Diablo. I'll send my check today. You've given more than a hiking staff today. You gave me the opportunity to pause and remember two little girls who touched my life and to do something in their memory. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

I'll only do this if someone takes the other side this way Make-a-wish gets paid either way. I'll also take Green Bay over Minnesota for $20. C'mon, there's 14 games this weekend if we bet on all of them it will raise another $280! Got to: nfl.com for the schedule.
