Re: A Christmas Present For Our Developers And Moderators
… and here are some more updates for you …
First of all: <font color=”#669933”><strong>Our fundraising was a great success!</strong></font>
Thank you all.
By now, we got some presents for sweet Mary (marys amazon wishlist). Thanks to Lisa McMillan who was of great help getting marys presents over in Canada. Thanks of course to Graeme D. for his kind help over in Australia and thanks to Eduardo M. over in Argentina. Alex McKee over in Gloucestershire, UK tried to organize some cheese for Dean but that did not work out due to european export regulations. So we picked some books from Deans amazon wishlist.
Destry said the most beneficial to him these days is a Paypal cheque. His wish came true today.
I was happy we could add Stu (aka thebomsite) and David (aka davidm, Davids amazon wishlist) to the list. Both will be busy next week :)…
Unfortunately some presents will take up to 2, 3 weeks to arrive. Nevertheless they are on their way.
<font color=”#669933”>The fund raising will last till 31st of Dec 2005 and then be closed down completely. As i mentioned above: any money left will be donated to shareafrica.org to support AIDS infected children.</font color=”#669933”>
Girls and guys, for now
<font color=”#CC0000”><strong>Merry Christmas</strong></font>

Sorry about the cheese :-(
I’ll try and get the company to send some to Dean in the future. Anyone know when his birthday is ….

Re: A Christmas Present For Our Developers And Moderators
I would like to thank Alex and all the members who contributed to the fund for my Christmas present. :) I can tell you that it arrived on Thursday (29th) and I have already watched the complete set once. Should save me borrowing it from my sister once a month. Much appreciated. Thank you all. :)

Just a quick belated thanks to all for my gift: 3kg of green coffee beans. 1kg each of Uganda White Nile, Brazil Santos, and Costa Rica SHB, all great stuff.

Re: A Christmas Present For Our Developers And Moderators
I am happy to announce that our christmas fundraising was such a success that (besides the christmas presents for our devs and moderators) the Textpattern Community can donate US$ 200 to shareafrica.org!
[Anybody around who can help transferring the money to shareafrica.org, NY, USA? I need someone with PAYPAL account and a bank account. The donation is tax-deductible. Please send me an email.]
