Please feel free to add any comments, suggestions or what have you.

I don't have any knowledge that could help you, but I want to let you know I admire your efforts. Let the Texas chapters know if you come down this way for a visit!

[Budge]

Ideas/suggestions/help needed. =o)

[Budge]

We discussed getting together with the Texas Chapters. Is there some way you could ping us when you have your meetings?

Also plenty of notice would be needed to get everyone together.

[Budge]

BUMP!

[billhilly]

Good for you. Not only will this be good public relations, but each of you involved will enjoy the project. It is very generous of you to offer "The Money Pit" for this purpose.

[Bob J]

I'm in for $50!

[Fred Mertz]

I almost thought your license plate read "FOB". Best wishes Budge.

Budge, The FRN may be able to handle the donations for this project. It get's difficult if we raise funds for other organizations that are not incoporporated or not non profits (who do we send the check to?), but if we take in the funds and pay the vendors directly, we may be able to make this work! If you can come up with some hard numbers on the cost, etc., I'll run it by the FRN operational committee...I think they'll go for it!

That's FOP - for Phriend Of Phil!

Get a Jeepney -- er, Freepney. They are old, rattle-trap, dependable, fun and get turned into real works of art. The amenities include two benches in the back. Restrooms are trees along the road. Here are some specimens:

On second thought, maybe your Freepmobile is better, Budge. If you get a fund going to fix it up, I'll contribute.

Wow, Bob J, I have NO idea how to handle any kind of donations! I wouldn't know where to begin. As far as being incorporated, we are a member of the FRN. Is there some sort of blanket coverage for incorporation in that?

If so, could y'all handle any donations there if it comes to that?

As far as costs, the only cost I even have a clue about is that vinyl covering I saw on e-bay, and that started at $700.00 .. I don't even know who to contact for something similar, or even how to get it put on! As far as the signs, I'm hoping a FReeper with experience can tell us the best way to go, metal or fabric, or perhaps plastic. I have no idea. How to fasten signs to it?

I remember the 18 wheeler that had removable or changable signs that was paraded around NYC when Hitlery was running, but I have no idea who that was to ask how to attach the signs.

There is a sign company here in this little town. I will check to see what they have in mind.

I guess this tells you how ill prepared I am to start something like this.

[Budge]

Thanks Billhilly. I just hope I'm not getting myself, or our Chapter into something too deep!

[Budge]

If that liscense plate had "FOB" on it, I would have demanded another one!!

Do y'all have a Chapter near you?

Abner knows about painting flags!

Texas bumps Arkansas for a great idea!

[Budge]

I don't know what to say. =o)

[Budge]

Great! How do I contact Abner?

[Budge]

Thanks for the bump! Also, Texas was the first place mentioned we'd like to visit, with or without flag paint or signs. FReepmail me with information, please!

Abner and VOC have the flag ballon. Hopefully they will see the ping, otherwise just FReep mail them.
