Operation BBQ - Now Taking Donations!
Hi folks,
I hope everyone has had a chance to read about what Sammy Baugh Fan (Mike Hedrick) is doing for our wounded troops on August 15. Everyone can agree that this is a truly great thing. Mike has dedicated his time, money and efforts into making this a successful "Thank You" to our troops. To pull this off, it will not be free or even cheap. Conservative estimates are in the $2-3k range. Mike is willing to bear this burden, but I do not believe it should all rest on his shoulders. Many people have PayPal, so I am going to ask that for people who wish to do so, wire your donations to me at chris@skinsfan.us Every little bit helps. He said that even $5 buys 75 buns. Mike does not have PayPal, so I am volunteering my account for this. I am local to Mike and will try to meet up with him around the the middle of August to present him with a check for the donations received. As a slight incentive, I will donate $5 for every donation received via my account. Total: $105 Donations: 4 Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Chris Payne Amissville, VA

Re: Operation BBQ - Now Taking Donations!
Thank you for the support and the help.
On a personal note to you all....thank you as well. In my heart I know "you all" love and support the young men and women and especially the ones wounded. When I meet them I will tell them of your love and support as well. Thank you. Now, back to work as this is gonna be big. The cost of 260 chairs, three tens and a stage and sound system I was told is $6,000. Do what?!?!?!?! Oh heck no. we'll get that cheaper or donated. See what I'm up against? And we have'nt ever started talking about food yet. Thanks cpayne my dear friend peace mike 703-470-6197 thehedricks2@comcast.net

Re: Operation BBQ - Now Taking Donations!
Sammy Baugh Fan, I had mentioned some thing about maybe getting some pork donated but I struck out on that as I spoke with the guy the other day.

Re: Operation BBQ - Now Taking Donations!
Didn't 724Skinsfan say he was just getting into the Rent-a-Tent business with his dad? Maybe you could talk to him about tents
