So can we put up a new thread, telling people about michael's article and the deal we got from Petzl, tell people they can send donations to PR....????? Whats next?
Sounds like a good idea to me. This Jon guy seems like he cares about the troops too. If he's willing to kick in 50%, that brings the cost of the lights to 21.50 each.
Hi!
I am just getting caught up with all the terrific work you are doing.
I was flying here to Texas yesterday to check on my folks and my Mom's laptop was broken when I got here!
Oh, the horror!
If you want to introduce me to your contact, I can take over talks with your businessman who is willing to match us in contributions for buying the headlamps.
I will put my credit card on the line to make the first order, and will order more in a month...I'll work out some details with him.
We have a couple ways to handle the shipping.
The cheapest would be for him to ship them to a member of our Merry Band of Patriots on the East Coast, who can readdress and priority mail them cheaply to the Army staging area near him for cargo lifting to Iraq.
I'll check if our guy is up for that.
Now back to reading the posts. When we have a solid plan, then I will ping my troop support list and let them know what is going on.
You have gone a long way to getting us a plan, if this company offering the match dollar for dollar pans out and these are the headlamps we want.
I especially like that detail about them not having an on-off switch that can get sand in it but protected push button.
Great going, gal!!
