We have $309 so far and I am estimating the beer-a-thon will contribute at least another $200. Do you think we should help a 3rd family?

PLEASE let me know ASAP my contact needs to know by the end of the day.

I was aiming for about $200 per family I just want your suggestions/thoughts!!!

Girlie, wait until the money comes in and then if you think that you have enough for a third family go for it. The more the merrier during the Christmas season.. Just my .02 cents worth...

 

[surfergirlck]

i agree

 

[Shandog]

I bet there will be more than $200 raised tonight - Heck if 10 peeps throw in 20 there's 200 right there

CBJ's gonna be trashed and quite comical I'm sure!!!

 

[afiremen]

I think maybe we can do better with the families we got, as in spend a little more on them!

 

[edeenorog]

I agree with Afiremen, unless we get a whole lot more.

[CBJ]

I think we'll do better then $200, we got that much easily in sponsors plus you peeps that are going nock some back and throw a few in my can. <_< Yeppers slip some cash in my can.

He He.

i agree with fireman. lets give those people a great christmas. one for them to remember...

 

[Girlie]

The peeps have spoken!!!!! We will be adopting just the 2 families!!! We are going to give them a memorable christmas!!!!!

 

[afiremen]

We need to remember that Christmas isn't the only time of the year that these families need help!

Last time I was involved with adopt a family, it was a year long commitment! We helped them out with Birthdays and other holidays through out the year. And we made Thanksgiving the last holiday, then we moved onto another family!

All the money we raise now doesn't have to be spent now! It can be used through out the year on these families, plus we can do other fund raiser through out the year, and have a head start for next Christmas's families!

You know, I never thought about it!!! It is a great idea, how would we get everyone to do it though? I would feel horrible if someone's name was left out!

 

[surfergirlck]

let's all sign it at the christmas party on the 19th.. or is that too late?

 

[rfdeiter]

Tell everyone where and when and if they can't make it you just sign it for them.
