solid work Petrox!!
I updated the OP with these and put them as auction items. I figured since they were framed and matted etc, they were worthy of not being just raffle items?
Raffles, auctions, face painting....as if there wasn't enough going on at these pre-parties already, we have a new challenge for you Philly folks
I've never been to a Philly tailgate, and I look forward to y'all teaching me how to do it up right But there's one thing that happens at every tailgate...there's a TON of stuff that gets left behind in the parking lot. Coolers, folding chairs, unopened food, sealed water bottles.
I've contacted the Philadelphia Veterans Multi-Service & Education Center (http://www.pvmsec.org) and if we can gather up some of these leftover items to donate, they will distribute them among the population of homeless veterans that they serve. This way, the Philly tailgate will benefit not only our soldiers overseas with the Yellow Ribbon Club donations, but also those who have returned home and fallen on hard times.
All we need is a few volunteers to help gather and transport the items to the Center. If anyone is interested, please PM me for details. Thanks!

See I go to a meeting for an afternoon and Petrocs brings out the goodies. Sandbagger Seriously, Way to go dude! Nice gets. People better be packing the green for these benefits. I also love the idea of helping the homeless vets.

Yes and now that we are staying "on topic" we will be even more productive..sorry folks..time for Petrocs to put his toys away and be a reputable citizen in this thread...sorry if anything offended anyone
Please keep checking back here. I have a feeling there's more incredible things to come from my two favorite Philly cheesesteaks and fearless leaders, elwayvedder and petrocs. A definite dynamic duo who are working their tukoses off to get these awesome items for these incredible charities.

Happy to volunteer for after show detail on the 27th , 30th , and 31st. Would do 28th , but must be at work by 1:30 AM.
It would be great to have your help Blind3 and I look forward to meeting you. I'm sure elwayvedder will add you to the front page list as soon as he gets a moment.

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to share with all of you the amazing feeling and experience that I experienced last night:
Last night was the monthly Yellow Ribbon Club meeting. When the members finally digested what we are doing over the course of the 4 PJ Philly shows, their eyes sparkled and their jaws dropped. They are so excited, so full of hope. Many of them have sons or daughters overseas and they spend a lot of time being sad and worried. What we are doing gives them something to look forward to and gives them hope. So much so that now I have a list of 10-15 members who insist on showing up to some or all of our Pre Parties to help and meet you all and thank you for your support. They don't even have tix to the shows but are going to drive across the bridge into Philly to join us. Amazing.
What an amazing feeling. Thank you for being a part of it with the cause we are driving at here.
