Good Day All,

As some of the gentlemen here know, I have kinda set up an Angel Tree of sorts in the Locker Room to assist a lady with her child's Christmas this year.

Well, The response has been very humbling and greatly appreciated. The suggestion was made that it be borught here to CoEd and extended out to all.

Ladies,
We know it has been a hard year for some of you, and that ends have not always met. And that XMas for some of your families will suffer due to getting the basic bills paid. I am offering to set up an Angel Tree of sorts here virtually. I will take any correspondence from you, turn it into Angel Tree like posts (Girl - 6 Years old - Barbie Doll) And post them here. I will not revel names so your privacy is assured.

Gentlemen or Ladies,

You can pick off the list, purchase an item and I will arrange to pick it up from you, or you can send funds anonymously and I will purchase the items most needed. I will revel your identify if you care to share, or just take joy in helping another have a grand XMas. I will be glad to submit to any audit and validation that is needed to satisfy that I am not running off with the items or cash, and that they are getting to those in need.

If there is no interest in this from either side of the house, no issue. That just means that every child here will be having a good XMas, and there is no need for this activity. I hope that is the case.

Also, could use a few elves to pick up or drop off items. Please let me know if you would like to help.

My email address is one.lost@rocketmail.com and I am also on IM at that address.

Happy Holidays and Hobby Well!

So glad that we (Santa and his Naughty Ho Ho Ho Elves - Naughty Velvet / Texas Starr, XXXJade and Casey Carlin) were able ot pull this together in a short time and with such great response to the requests. All wishes were fulfilled, gifts were given and a few got help with Food or other needs for XMas.

We are proud and humbled to be part of this community and to see the giving spirit come out in all....

Still collecting donations, so if you want to make a late donation, please contact me. Any excess will go to Women's Shelter to help the ones there.

Hobby Well, and Thanks for making this a rousing success....

Good job guys and gals.

What a wonderful thing to do. My kids will not receive gifts from me at this time. I've told them Christmas will come when mommy has a job again. All I want from them is their love, and that's what they will get from me.

I'm not going to ask for anything. I'm not one to ask for handouts from anyone. Not even family if I can avoid it. Not that I think it's bad that others do, please don't think I'm saying that, I just can't do it.

I merely wanted to post and say how simply wonderful it is to see some of our Hobbyists wanting to give to those in need. It's very refreshing and heart-warming to see you guys helping others.

Happy Holidays to ALL!!!
