Title: christmas and presents!!!
Post by Svenn on Nov 3rd, 2003, 10:23am
There has been a lot of talk about raising money for OUCH lately "Auction`s"and raffles "just wondering what the hell the latest is".

Anyone have thought about giving OUCH  $5 or $10 as a christmas-present?

Any thought about doing this Elaine and Michelle

Svenn,
I've got a whole bunch of things lined up for the Christmas Bizarre...but haven't recieved any pictures and descriptions to list the items yet.  I think people are going to love these things!!  It's nice Christmas crafty items made BY clusterheads!!

I also have a really neat Auction coming up next...and IRRESISTABLE one!!

And if anyone is interested on how the auctions and raffles are doing, Elaine posted a REPORT in the "fundraising" section on the OUCH board!!

We are just truckin right along!!
If anyone wants to donate a Christmas money gift to OUCH, just follow Elaine's instructions on how to make a payment on the Fundraising section of THIS board.
That is...until Bob gets paypal set up on the OUCH board, he's working on that now.

Thank you all for being PART OF THE SOLUTION!!!!
:)

WOW Svenn

I think that is a great idea!!!!!

Why not "GIVE" as we do to so many other causes at holiday times.  After all, each time we choose to give it's to help whatever cause, SO.....why not give to our own cause.


pf wishes,
EDNA

Deb,
We are having a discussion on the ouch board now about switching banks.  If that happens, we have to wait on setting up paypal until we know which exact bank OUCH is sticking with.
THEN paypal will be up, whoooo hooooo!! :)

Another way to help OUCH at Christmas would be to shop at the OUCH online store...that way you could spread the word about OUCH, help OUCH, help yourself and enjoy the products....lots of benefits...did i leave out anything?  ;;Dnancyc

All seriousness aside, this really is a good idea kids.

Everyone needs a mug or two.......

Thanks Mast. If you don't mind, let me know. Thanks.
If I had a neuro who knew anything, I might get him a mug.
Off the subject, I was thinking of taking a bumper sticker and making a yard sign to create awareness to passer-byer's.  Or something............

Svenn,

You must wear your thinking cap right over your heart!!!  What a terrific idea!!  

Why not take it a step further?  Someone create a certificate/letter that says "A Donation Has been Made in your name to O.U.C.H."  and it could be attached to the website and printed out after donation made.  A lot of people give these types of gifts at christmas.

Just throwing out ideas.  FWIW

What say you all?

$10.00

Screw that!

When there were dues I paid them (for three people) and we were on the membership list.

Then membership became free my name and the other 2 disapeared. I joined again and my name still ain't there!

Screw that!

Clever people here.

When I got here, there were dues; at the moment there are none. It's a political football on the board and a tough play to call. I send in a few bucks every year anyway but it should be encouraged more often. Maybe they're needed again. It's well worth considering.

It wouldn't harm OUCH if it were mentioned on your correspondence or part of letterheads. Jonny and others have done something like this. I sometimes check out things like that when I see them. Just an idea.

Thanks kids.

Svenn,

I LIKE YOUR IDEA!!  I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY LIKE YOUR IDEA!!

When I said you wear your thinking cap over your heart I only meant that your idea was one that truly comes from love.

Terrific is a good word.  Terrific means great, excellent, WOW, Super, fantastic, etc.  

I was not putting down your idea, Svenn.  I PROMISE!!
