$1 Is all it takes . Everyone can come up with a dollar.
Look in the sofa, under the sofa on the closet floor, in the car seat. Ask a co worker for a $1 then tell them thanks for the donation to OUCH. Put them in a envelop and send that dollar to OUCH with a note that says Dollar Drive
Now a dollar from just half the people signed up would bring $3000. If you asked each of your friends for a dollar and sent it to it could double it.
OUCH
807 E Broadway,
Gladewater TX 75647
Make checks out to OUCH and also Please Please put on the check what its for.

I've got one of my biggest suppliers coming in for a meeting this morning. I'm going to ask him for $1.00.
We'll see how much he "appeciates" my business....

Lesee, $2.00 for me, $2.00 for Judy, $2.00 for each of N.C., Amie and Puff (our cats). The cats are most grateful; anything that would keep me from pacing around and stepping on their tails. You got it.

I was just suggesting this to Thomas last week. Cool!
Check is in the mail and I am going to send out a short note asking all of the people in my email address book to donate too.

This is a GREAT idea! I just made up an email to send to everyone. If anyone wants to use the same email, be my guest!! Just remember to change the name of who it's from and if you don't technically work for OUCH, don't forget to eliminate that part too. Anyhow, the email is below. 
Hello!
Most of you know, that I suffer from an incurable disease called Cluster Headache Syndrome. I also work for a non-profit org. called O.U.C.H. (Organization for Understanding Cluster Headaches). You can visit the website here: http://www.clusterheadaches.org
Anyhow, right now we are holding a dollar drive, and I'm asking for your help! $1.00 is all it takes. Most everyone can come up with a dollar by looking in the sofa, under the sofa, on the closet floor, or in your car. Ask a co-worker for a $1.00, then tell them thank you for the donation to O.U.C.H.
Cash, money orders and personal checks are accepted. Please make any checks out to O.U.C.H., make sure to write the words "Dollar Drive" on the check and mail to:
OUCH
807 E Broadway
Gladewater, TX 75647
All donations are tax deductable.
Thank you so much for all your help!!
Sincerely,
Melissa Filtz

um, the international crew...I had Turts paypal ME for Cerebus's painting...and I think he just put in $140 US money...then that just came to me by paypal.
So, I'm thinking that (if ya don't use paypal) that you should get a money order from the bank or post office and just tell them for "however many" US dollars...then send it onto the treasurer. It would probably be a HECK of a lot easier for everyone if the OUCH bank doesn't have to convert, lol.
Does that make sense?? (it's late...I might not be making sense
Mast
Oh yeah, Elaine's paypal won't take international payments, so just lemme know and you can either paypal me and I'll send it on...or I can have the "ouch paypal account" send you a "bill", LOL.

Gday,
As Mastifflvr28 wrote, not all paypals operate for international exchanges, but we were able to find a way that works.
im going to get involved with this dollar drive, but I couldnt be bothered doing a paypal exchange for $1. (actually $1 aus is only 70c US but its better than nuffin)
However, I am going to see the GM or the HRM on Monday ( it is 9pm Friday night as I write this) and see about advertising this on the internal INTRANET at work and get the 320 people at my site to throw in a buck and even get other sites to participate.
Theres about 2000 people within the company. Lets say they are all tightarses and only 10% participate. Thats $200. Not only is this money coming from outside the Ch fraternity but there are now 2000 people who are now aware of CH.
I will get the OUCH employers form posted with the campaign so that they know what they are contributing to.
Maybe some else could do the same??
The main point here is that the funds arent always coming from the same pockets, and it also creates CH awareness.
Please msg me or reply with your thoughts

Thanks Michelle! Here is what Barbara said about the money coming from Candia bought the same as you said.
You can put it on your credit card in Paypal and PP will do the exchange thingy. Or if you send money we have to go to a bank or travel agency that exchanges the money, Make sure you put your money in US Dollars or we'll end up with some strange amounts. I just exchanged some New Zealand money. They sent $140 in NZ dollars. We ended up with about 57 and some change. PP would be the easiest. Money is money so any way is fine

Good idea Elaine. This ought to work. It will even get me to fork over more.
By the way, I get paypal payments from England and Canada all the time. I would think the the Common Market is in the groove too.
Thanks for this E.
Oh. Not 4: It takes us old geezers longer and longer to read this stuff. A said state of affairs.
