Good thoughts...maybe you can share those over in the general BuffettFest thread, too.Sam wrote:Glad you like it...if someone comes up with a better idea.......well please post it. Personal handwritten notes mean ONE HELL of a lot to troops.Quiet and Shy wrote:That's a nice idea, Sam...for folks that want to do that, I'm thinking the best way will be by sending such a note directly to Crash. (Unless Crash doesn't think this can work logistically), I'll plan to include his shipping address in the PMs I send everyone with the payment info. Just be sure to mark the note "for t-shirt recipient" and I'm sure Crash and his team will do their best to line the notes up with the t-shirts.Sam wrote:Count me in for 2 XL!!! and please PM us with the payment info, when you let Des know.Quiet and Shy wrote:Ummm...give me a day or two to clean up from the last go-round, please...I'll send you a PM with the info...thanks!Desdamona wrote:one (1) XL

I'll be PayPal-ing the $$$... to where? The same account as last time?
BTW,... can anyone possibly think of a way send a message with the shirt, to the troop that recieves the shirt ? Maybe just a little post it note or something like that?
I know it sounds improbable and a hellacious and unlikely task.....but just wondering if something like that could somehow be done...... maybe add something a little personal. Maybe ad some envelopes with personal messages inside to be given to each person that gets one of the shirts?
Just everyone that buys a t-shirt for our, troops could hand write something put it in an envelope and CLEARLYMARK IT for a T-shirt recipient? Maybe include an e-mail and snail to be contacted IF the troop decided to write back. Could be a nice little surprise to boot.
Any thoughts or input on that?
Maybe toss in a photo in some parrothead garb? Nothing has to fancy.but hey at least you can share a moment and be there with them, stype sort of thing. Yes clearly mark the envelope, if it is a workable idea, so it could be sorted ....or also another idea.. Not taking away from anyone else's idea's or plans, just add a separate hand written letter ( I don't need to suggest what to say do I?) and include a photograph and let them know they are being thought of to be handed out as seen fit. Maybe IF there are enough of those letters, at least every troop will get something personal from one of us......
This is only an idea to be kicked around and maybe improved upon, if anyone is interested. Maybe with the photo, it might make it more personal to them and to everyone participating.
Just some thoughts........
.....everyone think of a way to make it personal and share it here, will mean a way we can particpate more and to make it more individual to the troops........If it is viable and worakable.great.
......maybe we could find a way for each of us to "unofficially adopt a troop" and help him or her out as best we can.
All the best to our troops and to phellow parrotheads and of course to Crash and his coworkers!
I have been on the recieving end of their hardwork and dedication.....time for some payback!
I'm just trying to keep this thread focused on the t-shirt orders...so I don't get too confused....
