I received Jamie's money for the rod, so we are up to $525 now.
Corey - Would you mind getting me the options available at your church. I received your PM but I'm up in the mountains near Taos right now and my cell doesn't work and I can only occasionally get internet access. If you can get me a PayPal address for them, that would be awesome. If they don't have one, I can send you the PayPal and you can present them a check on behalf of SaltyCajun if you don't mind. Thanks! |

From what they told me, they are much like many other churches. They have needs for families year-round. What Ms. Cybil told me is that they pretty much had all of their Christmas families tended to for the year but have an on-going food bank and services similar to that. From what she said, it sounds like unless we specifically asked for it to wait for the year, the funds would be distributed to families in need, beit diapers, food, clothing, etc.
I really have no bias in this matter. Whatever the folks here want to do is great by me. I will GLADLY take a check there tomorrow on behalf of the fine members of SaltyCajun! In regards to a Christmas family, I feel we waited too long this year for it to develop into what I feel could truly benefit any one family or perhaps more. That is at no one individual's fault. I'd love to be involved more in it next year, schedule permitting. Shad, I'll leave it up to you and the other contributors for this cause as to what happens with the funds that have been raised. No matter what is done with it, I applaud everyone who contributed! Shad, I'll PM you my number and you can let me know what you want to do. I was reminded of a saying the other day; Give and you shall recieve. Thanks to everyone who contributed and to a great site owner Shadman and an equally great sponsor, BillyStix! Thanks to All and Merry Christmas, Corey Fisher |

Thats fine with me. The hole point was to help a family/familys in need |

Corey - I agree, I waited too long to get this going this year. Next time we'll kick it off earlier and directly help a couple families. I am perfectly happy with the funds going to your church since they were sponsoring families for Christmas and will continue to do so throughout the year. Please PM me your PayPal address and I'll send you the funds next time I can get online. Thanks!

Here it is friends! I'm waiting on a call back from the church right now and will be heading down there as soon as I hear from them.
Thanks to everyone for participating in this! A special thanks goes out to Mr. BillyStix for his generous donation! Hopefully next year we can put something together a little more individual family specified. This is still a wonderful gift that will help many through the Christmas season! I am humbled and proud to be a part of this site! saltycajuncheck.jpg |

Way to go Corey and everyone involved. This is a GREAT thing you have done!
Extra thanks to BillyStix for the donation of what is sure to be a 1st class rod. |

The check has been delivered and was graciously accepted by the director of the pantry dept at the church. She said the funds will go to provide food for families in need. She stated that monthly, there is an average of 200 people who come to the church for assistance with meals alone!
Even though we didn't get to target a specific family, I feel we did a great deed in the generosity shown by the members of our site!!!!!! You guys are great! |
