    Hey that's a lovely idea! Think we should definitely look into doing this! :thumbup:

    Lorna you and Michael are so cute!! :) great pic, mate!

    I'm all for a new project! Food drives are great but would be expensive if we did anything other than in our own communities. In the past we have raised money for gift cards to local grocers for those in need around here. That would probably be logistically easier?

    If anyone knows of a recipient who we might be able to help, let us know! :)

    Just throwing out ideas here, but a torrent site I use did a food drive contest thing last month. The way they did it was they had users go drop off food at a food bank or whatever and they needed to take a picture of the food that they took, and hold up a sign in front of it with their username written on it to verify they actually did it. For each can or box of food that they donated they got their name put into a hat for a drawing of whatever the prizes were. So if we could come up with some prizes we could use this approach if you guys like the idea.

    This is a great idea! Sounds pretty cut & dry. If I can help at all, please don't hesitate.

    this is a great thread. I was just thinking of kelly the other day and wondering if BATW was still doing their good work.

    well......are they? :?

    well......are they? :?

    We are always helping members but not always as the collective group that started BATW up. We ran into issues of trying to become "legal" in the sense of taking donations but the cost was way to much. Some of us got busy with work and I came down with health issues of my own.

    I know Kelly is and has always helped when ever she could. She is a great girl. Jo has done the same from what I have seen and she is always looking to help people anyway she could.

    Maybe we will have a encore in the near future :)

    Yes we are still "Alive" riding like Bugs Amongst The Waves in this world we call life
    Some words when spoken...Can't be taken back...
