RE: [WISPA] Funding help - The Challenge

2005-09-14 Thread Jon Price
Hey, it's only generous if someone sends Mac some funds or gear. I figure if
we are going to keep losing $ on these conferences, it may as well be for a
good cause.;)

In addition to what's below, fwiw:

1) I'd like to challenge and/or incent any supplier to send gear to Mac in
return for anything I can provide in equal value of exposure or additional
support during the show... space, ads, whatever makes sense to get that
pallet of equipment off the dock on the road to NOLA.

I've been talking to a few of the more conspicuously absent names for that
donation list about this already, but haven't had any firm takers so far. 
If
you are on the fence about doing something, lmk and we'll find a way to 
make
it worthwhile to ship out whatever you have that Mac needs and can get 
into

the field ASAP.

2) If anyone sends Mac / Churchofthe.Net / WISPA a donation of $350 or 
more,

I'll comp you a pass for our full conference if you haven't signed up yet.
After you get your receipt from Mac, just send me an email and we'll sort 
it

out.

3) If you don't have the $350 to kick in, but are on the fence about
pitching in from afar or just going there to help for even a few solid
hours, same difference. Send me an email afterwards and we'll work it out,
but either way just do something NOW.

btw, a few weeks back someone here was talking about having a WISPA 
meeting

in a field with tents and jetskis. Well, now's your chance, gang.:)

Subject: [WISPA] Funding help - The Challenge

I am coming down your way Mac. Expect me Thursday late or more likely
Friday. I will either come with Rick Harnish or load a trailer of my own 
and

bring it your way. Either way I am coming to help any way I can for a few
days.

For those of you who want to help, "cash" is the word of the day. Get Mac
some money. He won't tell you this but I know he has spent several 
thousand
of his own money running this deal. It is time for all of you to help. Go 
to
http://crisis.wispa.org/ and you can send through the Churchofthe.Net 
501c3

there if you need the tax write-off or is only way your company can help.
Send it directly to Mac's Paypal if the tax credit is not required. His
email for paypal is  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jon Price of ISPCON has sent us $2000 to help. That is a challenge I 
think.

If any of the rest of you have done well in this business and have it to
spare then please send Mac's group some cash. Last I heard he needs lots 
of

Cat 5 also. So let's get it together guys. Mac and many others down south
are working to help these folks. Let's help them. They need food and water
too. We need to get them money to operate and to live. Until Uncle Sam 
steps

in (maybe never) then we will have to do whatever we can to help with what
we can put together ourselves.

Here is the challenge to all. I want Mac to have $10K to work with before
Monday morning. Get to work! Get him some cash!
Thanks guys,
Scriv

arrangements are less than desireable and we have men sleeping
everywhere so come prepared for whatever.  I also am going to have
another changing out of crew and may be in need of some more
volunteers by the weekend. If any of you are interested in DONATING
YOUR TIME & GAS please shoot me an email off list stating your
abilities using the KISS method ( keep it simple stupid)

  I can not have anyone and everyone just roll into camp. If you do
not have authorization from me - - do not come. I have experienced
this and allowed a couple guys into camp because they came from so
far.I am trying to keep us at a maneagble and efficeient level and not
overwhelm the Camel we are riding. We are now EOC certified and have
badges to wear around our necks for identification. We have a FULL
PASS permit given to us by EOC Mississippi. We had a group of men roll
back into camp this morning that was at the farm for a week and then
they went home to take care of some business and are back!!!

Thanks,
Mac

2005-09-14 Thread Mac Dearman

Rick,

  I will shoot you the info to get you base camp, but our sleeping 
arrangements are less than desireable and we have men sleeping 
everywhere so come prepared for whatever.  I also am going to have 
another changing out of crew and may be in need of some more volunteers 
by the weekend. If any of you are interested in DONATING YOUR TIME & GAS 
please shoot me an email off list stating your abilities using the KISS 
method ( keep it simple stupid)


  I can not have anyone and everyone just roll into camp. If you do not 
have authorization from me - - do not come. I have experienced this and 
allowed a couple guys into camp because they came from so far.I am 
trying to keep us at a maneagble and efficeient level and not overwhelm 
the Camel we are riding. We are now EOC certified and have badges to 
wear around our necks for identification. We have a FULL PASS permit 
given to us by EOC Mississippi. We had a group of men roll back into 
camp this morning that was at the farm for a week and then they went 
home to take care of some business and are back!!!


Thanks,
Mac
