  • Take a day off from betting sports and help out the relief efforts

    Talked to Spark about this, and not surprisingly he had the same idea. So I brought this to Monte's attention and he was for it as well.

    My proposal is to take a day off this weekend from your normal wagering, and put it toward the relief efforts going on in Louisiana, Mississippi ect. Whatever you'd normally bet on a given day, put it toward the relief efforts. At least you know that the money your putting toward is going for a very very good cause...and quite frankly could be helping people like Jimmy, Ethan, Eddie and more.

    I have contacted FEMA and Operation Blessing and they said they would be happy to take our efforts and put it toward the relief there.

    I am going to send them a check on Monday. If you all want to contribute a dollar or more....you can email me and if you have paypal, or neteller you can transfer money into that account and on monday I will transfer it via check to FEMA.

    This forum is as close to a family as a family can get. My heart hurts when I see all the damage that was inflicted both physically and emotionally on the people there, and I can only imagine what Jimmy, Ethan, and Eddie as well as others in this BC family are going through. It would be great to do your part to help out as well.

    I will keep a running tally, keep both Monte and Spark up to date with it and send out the final tally on Monday.

    God bless all the families there..and I hope we hear from everyone soon.

    Sincerely,
    John


    PS...Mods if you need to move this, I understand. Didn't know quite where to put it.

    Nice input Rook----I'll get up with ya tomorrow on how I can get some Money to ya, or maybe I can check over here for the same thing....My Brother in Morgan City La, can also guide me as to where and how to contribute......

    I personaly have been through, Audrey, Camile, Betsy, Andrew, and missed being around Katrina....I first hand can tell you how devastating they are...The aftermath is horrendous....People work their whole lives, and lose all their belongings in 1 day...

    Say a prayer for all the survivors, and at the same time, thank the "Good Lord" that you and your loved ones weren't in it.............

                      Need an address if you don't mind John. I will be sending a check also to American Red Cross and donating services if needed. The whole thing is - there is little time and most are in such shock, horrified and devastated beyond what we can comprehend.

                            Great idea rook. Was wondering about starting a save tigger fund on here. Maybe wayne or Monte could set it up? I'm sure many of us would pitch in. I think they have pay pal accts from running the pools and stuff. Kelly and I already sent a bag of clothes to the salvation army that is going to be send down to the victums. I really want to help, especially someone from the forum in this time of hardship.

                              Hey Rook - my wife and I made a donation to the Red Cross (before I saw this post) while watching CNN last night. I don't know if you want to count it to your total or not...the important thing is anyone who can help, please help! Thanks rook for organizing this.
