    Wow.
    As an organizer of a bunch of Wishlist fundraisers I can pretty much tell you that no one is skimming money. Not to come across as a bitch, but as a fundraiser, I kind of take offense to that statement.

    EVERY $ raised GOES to the chosen charity. The only $ that isn't, is half of the Wishlist tee shirt $ to cover the costs of making the tees.

    I had to say more because this really has me upset.

    We as organizers spend a lot of our own $. Raffle tickets, poster tubes, poster boards to make signs, name tags, markers. Also our travel $. We use a lot of printer paper, ink to print a bunch of stuff we need. This all comes out of our own pockets!


    I couldn't have said it better!! That Detroit party raised money and EVERY $ (minus 10$/shirt) went to the Michigan Humane Society. I can give you their phone number and you can call them to confirm it.

    Well take it how you will. I donated to the detroit fundraier. And I'm donating to the pj20 one. This is a forum of where we can speak freely. Correct? So if I come off sounding like an ass than I'm sorry. But I feel I have the right to know that money I'm spending, and donations of my pj memorabilia are going to the proper places. Easy as that IMO. And I was polite in the way I asked. And Laura said it herself, you should ask when giving hard earned money and whatever else to charity. So no need to get upset.
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.

    I'm very proud of the Wishlist for throwing the pre- party in Lake Geneva. Excellent choice! More bars, scenery and booze to conquer including beer brats! Please utilize the shuttle services especially up and down the tiny strip in geneva since the cops are surely plentiful for giving sobriety tests!

    SPEARHEAD +1 will be there
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!
