The "Help Winni" Campaign
At the rsk of being banned for double posting, I am placing this here for increased view count although it has already been and, will continue to be updated in another thread.
Grab a beverage and read. Here is the backstory:

Done reading? Good...
Ok, here's the deal. Starting today and running until Thanksgiving day, people may make donations towards helping Winni in her financial situation caused by one of our members. I will act as the intermediary and paypal donations may be made to: Bradfo69@aol.com. You want to be sure to send it as a gift - not paying for a good or service. If it comes from your bank account or a Paypal balance there is no fee. 5% of the total collected will be given to our illustrious founder of this great forum for it's upkeep. I will update this thread daily with donations received. If you choose to be annonymous, that's fine. But, it will run just like the lists in a group buy. At the end I will post screen shots showing money sent to Winni as well as to Spec. The only thing still up in the air is whether Winni has a paypal account to receive funds. If not, then I'll talk to her about a bank transfer. I will be sending the people in this thread who offered, a PM linking them back to the thread as a reminder.
As has been previously discussed, there was really no way of doing a raffle of a donated item or anything like that, lest Paypal shut me down and... if I can't buy and pay for laser crap... that's not a good thing. (Err.. I don't think!) And organizing a show, while a cool idea is probably fraught with logistical issues.
Thank you in advance to all for your time and consideration.
