Knowing that many of you folks don't visit all the forums, it was decided to put this here. Put "what" here?If you check out this thread in the "Support Forum", you'll get the gist of this message. In brief, as a big "Thank You" to our hosts and administrator of this community we call SMC, it was suggested they take a little break and have a nice evening on us, the members of this community. True to form, Keith, Aaron & Co. politely declined. It seems that no amount of coaxing was going to change their minds.
In the meantime, my PM "Inbox" was rapidly reaching capacity!
So, a number of us decided that, as long as our benefactors aren't going to take us up on our suggestion, we need to take it into our own hands.
I know I don't even have to go into "why" we should do this or can I even begin to describe all these folks have done and continue to do on our behalf!
Here's the deal: If you folks feel that Keith, Jackie, Aaron and his significant other (fiancé) deserve a night out on us, the members of this great site, make that known! So, to get to the chase, if you so choose, I'll be accepting PayPal contributions at: at5vette@execpc.com . Just slug the purpose as "SMC Outing". If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to contact me at that same address!
Now, we're NOT looking for the "Save SMC" type of funds. A couple or three bucks a piece across much of the Membership will do nicely. Once done, we'll get a gift certificate to a nice place in their "neighborhood". (That way, they just plain old can't refuse it!!!
So this doesn't carry on as a "forever" type of thing, I'm placing a 1 week deadline on donations. In other words, we'll call it done on next Sunday, Nov. 20, 2005 at 7:00 pm, CDT.
Also, if there's anyone located close to our hosts, we'd greatly appreciate names, recommendations and numbers of a "nice night out"!
