X-Mas Present for the Boys

[JustJon]

<p>It's that time of year where we worship our respective deities, eat alot, and exchange presents.</p><p>We'd like to give the boys gifts, and whenever it gets mentioned, people ask how they can contribute, so if you want to, we are accepting donations.</p><p>If you would like to donate to the gifts via paypal, send your money to <a href="mailto:info@ronfez.net">info@ronfez.net</a>.&nbsp; Please include your board name in the message so we know who you are, since we don't necessarily know everyone's real names in association with board name.</p><p>If you would like to donate by check, please PM/IM/e-mail me for my mailing info and to let me know how much you will be donating, so we can keep track of how much we will have to spend on them this year.</p><p>If you would like to donate by cash, you can brave the postal system and follow the instructions for paying by check.</p><p>If you wish to slide large envelopes full of money under the table, let me know which Italian restaurant to meet you at.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you would like to help decide the gifts, you may contact me via e-mail/PM/IM as well or catch me in the chat room in the evenings&nbsp;and share your ideas.&nbsp; Please note that members of the Ron and Fez radio program do read the board, so do not post your ideas in the thread.&nbsp; And please don't tell me your ideas are cigars, oreos or other gifts that are obvious, since we figure other people will cover them.&nbsp; All ideas will be taken into consideration, but actual gifts will be decided on multiple factors, including but not limited to coolness factor and finances raised.</p><p>Thank you to all who contribute financially or gift ideas.</p>

Will the gift be given sometime AFTER the party? If so, That could be another suggestion for donations.

[JustJon]

Although the gifts will be given after, they will most likely be ordered prior to the party, since we'll probably mail order.&nbsp; If someone wants to give me the money at the party, they can contact me privately to set that up.&nbsp; If it's a member in good standing, we can make arrangements for RF.Net to cover you until you can give me the money.

[MrPink]

Give you money so you can buy the boys gifts? Sounds like a scam.

[empulse]

This year I am making a donation in the name of the boys to <strong><em>The Human Fund</em></strong>

[Krieger]

Just give Ronny a Medal made of gold/silver/platinum mixture&nbsp;&nbsp;and Fez a New heart (a spare one) , its more of a secure feeling for him then a practical use for now.

<p>They'll get nothing and like it!</p><p><img src="http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c34/Gvac/ted_knight.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[furie]

when do we have to give by?

[JustJon]

No set date, but I think the 4th of December is the last day to senda check in, the 6th for paypal, since I need to purchase the gifts and have them shipped in time to give them.

[seabiscuit10]

<p>Sent mine in</p><p>see ya&nbsp;</p>

[reillyluck]

<p>i just sent it!!!&nbsp; </p>

[Febreeze]

On it's way

[JustJon]

<p>Thanks to all so far.&nbsp; Haven't received any checks yet (people are sending, I just haven't gotten them yet), but we're doing really well so far for the gifts.&nbsp; </p><p>One more week to send in checks, a week and a half to send paypal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And RF.Net is covering all Paypal fees, so that everything donated to the gift will be spent on the gift.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If anyone has any ideas for the gifts - especially Ron - please let me know or come in chat tonight to discuss possible gifts.&nbsp;</p>

[Justice4all]

<p>I had no idea they were getting ME something too!</p>

[sailor]

<font size="2">fez could use some snugglers.&nbsp; or maybe a dvd of three's company, since he's never seen the show.&nbsp; or maybe the andy griffith show, if he doesn't already have it.&nbsp; i'll go out on a limb here, but maybe ron would like some cigars?<br /></font>

[Cyclone_Brandon]

<p>Candlesticks make a nice gift. </p><p>http://sportsmed.starwave.com/media/pg2/2002/0825/photo/bulls2_i.jpg</p>

[TheRealEddie]

For Ron, just green. For Fez, a nice centerpiece.

[ToLEEdo]

I definetly think we should send some pre emptive cigars to Mr. B, it's more meaningful if it is before the holidays

[EffMeBoobs]

Just paypaled my money...thanks JJ.

[JustJon]

FYI: If you mailed me a check/money order/cash/death threat, I will PM you to let you know it was received.

[BoondockSaint]

Finally got around to doing this.&nbsp; Wish I could be at the party but I can't.&nbsp; There probably won't be enough alcohol to satisfy me anyway.

[JustJon]

Folks, last day for donations via paypal.&nbsp; You've all been more than generous so far and we plan to buy the gift late this week/early next

[CofyCrakCocaine]

<p>There. Made a contribution. Always was the last minute type.&nbsp;</p>

[JustJon]

All the gifts are in my possession (last one was delivered yesterday).&nbsp; I will take pictures of them before we give them to the boys and those will go up Friday night.&nbsp; I'll also let people know how much we raised at that point.&nbsp; (We don't want them to have any clue about anything until we give the gifts)

[led37zep]

Good work Jon, I'm excited to see what we got them.&nbsp; Thanks for organizing this.

[ChrisTheCop]

<p>Seems we keep finding things to thank JustJOn and MikeyBoy for. You guys are amazing!!!</p><p>Thanks to ya both, and anyone helping ya out. You both deserve the happiest of holidays!&nbsp;</p>

<p>thanks guys for all you do, all year long for us.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[watson]

Who really cares, afterall these are &quot;gifts&quot; for multi-millionaires, in the end Ron and Fez know this board is the most sincere :)<br /><strong>furie</strong> wrote:<br />the big question is; how much are the other boards giving?<p>&nbsp;</p>
