The site looks bare without the pretty banner up there... guess we'll be saying goodbye to the signatures too soon

I sent in a little extra to the PayPal account yesterday, too. I'll be really SAD to see this drive end... it was a lot of fun!

I think that the drive ended at midnight according to what RD told me last night. I have an idea of how much we have, and I know its far over what the goal was

I hope that I got in under the wire, I sent it direct by CC from the donate site.

I hope so too, KBB.
We can only hope it made it though. It should, because I know nothing is going to be updated quite yet. Everything should go into effect tomorrow.
THANK YOU for doing that!!!

OK, Ladies, Gentlemen, and Gentlecreatures... Here's the sitch so far. The Big CHOC banner that has graced the pages of the board HAS been pulled down due to the expiration of our contract, and the Charity drive is officially over at midnight tonight, Pacific daylight time. You have a last LAST chance to donate to the cause in the following way, and ONLY this way, sadly. Here we go... If you DO want to do a last-second donation, put your check or money order in an envelope, make SURE you include a note in your offering saying this is for the RON STOPPABLE message board brick account, and send it to: Joyce Van Tol C/O CHOC 455 South Main St. Orange, CA 92868 These will STILL be honored by the hospital for a few weeks after today. ;D ;D ;D I will keep in touch with Joyce as to the running total of donations sent directly to her for this account, and keep you guys posted. I've received SOOO many last-second requests from members saying that they still wish to donate to the brick drive, but legally I can no longer accept donations to the account fund4kp@hotmail.com through PayPal, so do not send anything there, OK? That account is now closed, and the funds have been transferred to our bank account at Wells Fargo Bank. The banners in your sig lines will be good for the next couple of days, guys, but don't donate to the PayPal section, OK? The donations direct to the hospital will be honoured through today into tomorrow. RD

That's great.
Also, I'm not ready to get rid of my banner just yet.

I had an idea of our total, but with more last minute donations I'm wondering how much more over that we are!

I'm so curious to find out how much we have collected...

Post by rd on Sept 30, 2007 15:14:54 GMT -5
I CAN tell you guys that as of RIGHT NOW, the sub total shows...
$2,629.92
That's just TODAY, mind you. We still will have new totals coming in from the Hospital for days and days to come.
Oh, that DOES include Morefoods' last minute donation, too.
Also a $100 check from someone somewhere in ASIA...
(Thank You, JohnnyS!!!)
OOPS! You didn't hear that from me, LOL!!!

Since we have a few more weeks via snail mail, hopefully we can reach for a 6th brick ;D. I am so proud and grateful to everyone who was able to donate to this great cause. The children will be very pleased about this as will the workers there too. Hopefully when KP comes to DVD, we can send a set to the children to watch too when they want . Grandpa, Ron, everyone who started this I thank you for your work on it. We all have done a VERY great deed. I know not everyone could afford/have time etc. to do so, but please don't feel bad. We all live different lives and we give to others when we can even if we don't realize it's a good deed. Opening a door for someone with their hands full, carrying items for a friend/neighbor. We give throughout our lives in one way or another. As for the banners, would it be ok if I could copy them in pant and post them up on photobucket.com for all who donated to use still even when the current links now will be dead soon?

Thank You for such a heartfelt and beautiful post, Zylaa. You are quite correct about the fact that we ALL give to others in SO many different ways.
This has definitely been a wonderful experience for all involved, and I agree with you, these banners should be archived and preserved for us and future members.
You have my permission to do just that, copy them somewhere and preserve them.
Perhaps Wallaceb will make a section on KPFW so these will go on display. If needed, I'll write up a little "Once upon a time, there was a HUGE divine wind that blew across the landscape of a KP message board, and here's what happened..." and include the story with the banners.
THAT would be cool!
