Re: [WISPA] Funding help
Cliff, I appreciate you more than you as these guys are looking to me for their next meal and I will do whatever I can do to keep them in gas and food. This has been a TRUE grass rootd campaign right down to the CAT5 cable. We have all used our own stock of goods and we have gotten no help from anywhere short of a few donations that totaled about $2000.00 . If you send your donation to my paypal account we will have use of those funds now. Then I can make a call and tell the boys not to use my/their credit card to buy the metal (angle iron...etc) with personal money - - - -- - come get my PayPal card.

Re: [WISPA] Funding help
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!!!

Make no mistake about it - - - - - - these men are the unsung heroes!! Funding? FUNDING? 3 men from this list is all that have donated and short of that there has been no funding!! Macs Farm fed and watered every night thus far except last night as we are in Ponchatula, Louisiana and 3 nights my brothers and sisters came over and cooked to give Sharon a break as she has washed clothes, cooked, mopped the floors everyday, answered the phones, ran Maximum Access, ran Dixie Lift truck services and then made sure she had what she needed for the next day. Damn, I guess we will all be under a shelter next looking for a meal. I was wondering if there are no funding available to help these fine men and myself? How about some kind of fund raising? We are buying angle iron cinder blocks this morning and all that it takes to build a heavy non penetrating roof mount to place atop of a University Library. This is being built by my team and you wouldnt believe the talents and abilities here. We have a mobile lab and a mobile shop that is amazing. Truthfully - - - - - there has been a divine hand guiding this whole thing and it is more than evident in my eyes. Mac Dearman Carl A Jeptha wrote: My apologies if I upset anybody, but this is what I commented on the above Blog, I am tired of all the bullshit. I am angry that I cannot be there to help these guys with what they are doing, so Mac, Johnny and Company remember there is another side to this - being frustrated because you cannot lift a hand to help. quote Gentlemen and Ladies, May I draw your attention to a group of WISP (Wireless Internet Service Providers) who before an disaster was declared was already delivering communications to shelters. When only 40 people had died from Katrina, they were on the ground and knew the tally would be in the thousands, they knew New Orleans would not be spared. These are the men and women who were on the ground running before FEMA and the President was properly briefed. They were the ones, with donations from other WISP's and related services who started the first communications. Don't be fooled by the BIG GUYS PR Dept. because they were a full week or more behind these WISPS, but we don't have a PR dept. who only sees this as a marketing opportunity. Please visit the site of these wisps - a href=http://www.crisis.wispa.org;http://www.crisis.wispa.org/a and our parent org. a href=http://www.wispa.org.;http://www.wispa.org./a Please note I find it very distressing to see these unsung heroes not been mentioned. These people have been working eighteen hour days, using their own resources to deliver these communication services. unquote So guys just keep your heads high and know that where ever I see you not being recognized, I
RE: [WISPA] Funding help - The Challenge
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.:) cheers, Jon Jon Price Managing Dir, ISPCON CEO, The Golden Group, Inc.

RE: [WISPA] Funding help - The Challenge
Hey, it's only generous if someone sends Mac some funds or gear.
