"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal." Albert Pine.
Just checked out the first page and there are some incredible items available for both the auction and the raffles. Amazing considering its four shows/preparties. Checked the troop request list and there are many inexpensive items that can be found at your local dollar store. Also Itunes and Rhapsody cards or other legal music download cards of any denomination would be helpful to the cause. Regifting unused gift cards that will expire makes sense to me to donate them instead. Just kicking around some ideas and am sure many creative folks on here have a ton of good ones to share.

It's the end of summer here in the Northeast and lots of Labor Day sales this weekend with many of the troop request items marked down 50 to 75% off, some more. If you can, pick up an item for the care packages going to our wonderful guys & gals so far from home to bring to the parties. Yellow Ribbon link on page 1 has a printable list of requests for anyone interested.

Special thanks today to Wounded Organ for meeting me at my job to hand deliver me 2 posters including the mint S/N South America 2005 poster SIGNED BY Klausen!!
Great donation, WO. Just curious, how long did it take to run there?:-D Hope you can make it to the preparties.

I will PM elwayvedder if my auction donation item comes in (was supposed to donate at Toronto but I had some 'technical difficulties", sorry again D!).
I'm driving down from Albany, leaving at 9:00 am that day. I think I can make it by 3?
Oneforeachday, will you be able to stay for the weekend shows too? If not 1 is much better than 0.:-)

FMHM, sadly, i will not be able to make it for any other shows. I have very important responsibilities (my 7 and 3 yr old kids) to take care of! :-) For as special the other nights will be, I'm the lucky one as trick-or-treating with my kids can't be beat. (plus I got to see the boys in Toronto!).

sweet. can't wait. I'll PM you but only after it's confirmed so as to keep expectations low! :-)
i am starting to think of this stuff in my sleep which means a few things:
1) I am starting to stress about it more than my normal pleasant self
2) its getting closer to the shows!
Last night's worry that kept me up that I had too many items for auction/raffle (which is good) and only 1 little game table that I brought to lay everything out on and definitely not enough room to have the Wishlist shirts, cups, and stuff to put out. So with that said, I updated the OP with this:
FOLDING TABLES: If you have one and can fit one in with your travels, please bring one!
I find that the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy works at times like this, 'Don't Panic!' ;-) Just a suggestion but maybe the local contacts at Yellow Ribbon or Family House may have a source or idea where to borrow some if noone here has any.

I will get them. I think my dream/awake thoughts are just telling me that the next thing to do during soliciting for raffle and auction items is send a few emails or make a few calls and line up some tables to borrow for a week. I will take care of this task during this business week and let ya know how I do!!

Just touching the parking meters ala Monk, EV . I have complete faith in your ability to overcome anything that comes along and was just messing around. You've been doing an awesome job getting this marathon organized. Kudos to you and everyone else working so hard and donating for these great charities.

a suggestion for getting tables:
ask the local VFW/American Legion or church.
I've done this in the past and they have always let me borrow what I need usually 2 or 3 folding tables, no rental fee.
of course that would mean you'd have to pick up and deliver the tables from them to the fundraiser and back to them. Also, try checking with the comcast folks, maybe they have some to lend from the sports center.
just ideas.

Great ideas. Additionally I will see if I can snag a few from the Yellow Ribbon Club themselves as I am sure one or two of the members have a table. We meet this week and a lot of them are excited about what we are doing here. I cant wait until the meeting as I have a handful of CDs I made the mom's and dad's so they can get a taste of this band called Pearl Jam
Very nice way EV to share what inspires us.
I have one full box so far for them to send to their loved ones. I have heard from returning vets how much these care packages mean to them. We have sent them from my office to a local soldier and his group in Iraq.
Anyone who would like to donate items from 'da burgh' and can't get it to the show, I'll be happy to take it to Philly along with your donation information. Please PM me if interested.
