Thanks Willieboy, we've been neglectful of keeping this thread up where it belongs.

The donations continue to trickle in, doing well.

Cheap but honest shot! Two points for Jocko. Lets do a tally. Lets see it's Jocko 237, and Bawanna 4. Got him on the run now by doggie.

[Willieboy]

Bawanna, you've given Jocko a false sense of security huh?

[Bawanna]

I don't think theres anything false about Jocko. The only thing I know for sure is he always wins and I always lose. But I'm still in the game if for no other reason than to be a bur under his saddle and keep him on his toes.

Bawanna, if you keep this thread going, sooner or later O'Dell will see it & it won't be a secret any longer!! LOL

[Bawanna]

It was decided early on that we could not possibly keep this a secret and make it work. He's been avoiding this thread for reasons I know not why but he's completely privvy to our efforts and plans.

bujmp ti-ty bump

First off I want to make sure that credit is given where credit is due. I didn't think this up. A relatively new member approached me about the plan I'm about to propose. He chooses to remain anonymous for the time being but I hope he'll allow me to share his name before we're done. Even though hes hundreds of post short of qualification, I plan to give him the kahrtalk secret handshake and maybe even the much coveted kahr hat if I can get one. (He is not getting my autographed poster of Justin Moons wife, some things are sacred) I'm sure the thought crossed many of our minds but he jumped in and said lets do this.

I'm snowed in again so it's taken me way too long to work out logistics and some of them are just gonna go out the window but I can't wait any longer.

Here's the plan.

We're gonna open up our very own Kahrtalk donation program to help O'Dell replace his losses. For those of you unaware he's been brutally struck twice with residential burglaries, the second time after installing hardened security doors etc. Lost a pile of very very nice guns including more than 1 Kahr.
It seems like the right thing to do to help take care of one of our own. I PM'd a few members and without exception everyone was on board.
To be clear we're gonna send O'Dell money that he can spend anyway he feels is best. I of course cleared the plan with him first to make sure he would accept. He told me he's already looking at gun safes. We of course think he needs a new Kahr also since he's now Kahrless.

Anyhow heres the modified logistics due to my impatience.

We'll open up for donations until March 31st. Then this thread will end so any new people won't think they can continue to send money. Another check mechanism I'll mention later.
I will keep a list of donations and the donors. On or about April Fools, I'll send one total check to O'Dell along with a list of all the names of donors.
I WILL NOT include any dollar amount associated with each donor.
Someone suggested a list of MAJOR donors who's name could be shared but I'll let you guys all decide if you like that or not. I assume MAJOR would be like 100$ or more, or perhaps 50$ or more?
I don't want anyone to feel that their donation isn't significant or not worth sending, many of us aren't exactly flush at the moment, myself included but this is a good thing we're doing.
It's easy, and if alot of us do a little, it will equal alot to our buddy O'Dell who incidently I have never met personally or associated with in anyway. (there is talk of adoption proceedings but thats unofficial right now as he lost everything I hoped to inherit) Reading his post I'm convinced he's a standup good guy.

Before this reaches novel length heres the logistics.

I don't really relish the idea of sharing my name and home address with the entire internet that Dietrich invented. So heres my plan.

If you choose to contribute send me a PM. I will reply with my Name and address. Its really Bawanna but I use an alias for real life. I looked into a PO Box and opening a special bank account but we would lose donor names and lose money that we can send O'Dell.
By PMing me my info isn't out there for anyone other than our members. This also will allow me to turn away donors after the 31st.

I plan to keep the list of names and amounts so that theres no chance of any malfeasonce. I'm from Missouri so you can trust me. Also if for whatever reason the money needs to be returned I have a way of contacting everyone.

I'm frantically trying to remember if I forgot any details here, it's simpler than it sounds really. Feel free to drop in questions or concerns but I want to kick this thing off.

So with all that said lets help out our buddy.


I'll add this info here so when its bumped all will see.
You don't need to PM me now. Just make a post stating you want to contribute or your are in. I will then send YOU a PM with address and information. Little easier this way.

Thanks.

time is getting short guys,m pony up if you can... thanks

Last chance to help. Bawanna are you waiting until the end to go to the bank?

Yeah, thats my plan unless someone suggest a better one.

[jlottmc]

Well the end of the month approaches, this is almost the end, so let's finish strong.

[Bawanna]

It's down to the final week. If you have been planning to donate and haven't so far the clock it ticking down.

We've done very well in our efforts.

I'll fill out a very long deposit slip Friday the 31st or over the weekend and send a check to O'Dell probably on Monday the 4th.

Any checks I receive after that I'll probably try to forward on as well but lets figure on this being over on the 31st.

You guys all totally rock.

Bump. As we approach the end of this, can we get some numbers here, and the big reveal needs a picture to go with it. I would like to see the look on his face, but, know that may not happen.
