JMsAquarium October 21, 2005 Share October 21, 2005 (edited) Dear all, Since I've joined Wamas, a couple of years ago, there have been countless of support among the members, when one of us was in need. We always help and are helped, that is the spirit of this club. I have been following this post in the For Sale forum tank for sale in so Md and I believe that we can do something about it. We are always buying and selling stuff, we also have stuff that we don't really need laying around. I humbly propose we organize a fund raising sale and the proceeds to be donated to the trust fund for this child. Whether the items are aquaria related or not doesn't really matter. What DOES matter is this child. Let's pull together and help one of our own. Thank you JM When: Sunday December 4th 2005, 2pm-5pm Where: my place JM Le Grand 3034 Graham Court Falls Church, VA 22042 703-641-9599 Items list (will be updated on the fly): Hardware: Mag 3 pump (spoken for - Tri Bui) 20 gal tank (back as avail and I donate my $$ share to the fund) 40 gal breeder tank 46 gal bow front tank 20 gal acrylic sump, drilled with 2 bulkheads 29 gal stand Frags: Blue tort a few Purple with blue tip stag green and orange cap 3lb rock loaded with purple mushrooms Others: Mangrove roots (spoken for - Folta) Frozen food Updated information on payments for above items and personnal contributions. (02 November 2005) Payments: As per the request of the family, all proceeds from the sale/auctionwill go to Kennedy Krieger Institute. Personnal contributions: They are very welcome. Please check this link to Kennedy Krieger Institute for further information.

Guest rennfamily October 24, 2005 Share October 24, 2005 Thanks so much to all of you. I've been a member for almost a year but relatively quiet. My sister and brother in law are amazed at the out pouring of love that we've seen in the last two weeks by all. I know some people would be leary of a situation such as this and that's ok I didn't come here asking for money. I just wanted to sell my tank. But thank you so much for what you've offered to do. Anyone that wants to check on Bobby's progress can check out www.carepages.com Once you register you have to input the patient's carepage name which is bobbydautrich I was doing a daily update but my sister is taking them over and has been trying to do one as much as possible. I just keep reminding myself that God took 4 angels from me and my husband and He cannot see it fit to take another child from us. Thanks again.

Folta October 24, 2005 Share October 24, 2005 Welp, we need people to buy some of this stuff too, so I guess I'll go first. Edit: Just realized that one tank sold, so I guess I'm actually second Chip, I'll take the mangroves for $20. I can get them from you next time I see you. As for the $20, JM how can I get that to whoever's collecting? ~Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMsAquarium October 24, 2005 Author Share October 24, 2005 As for the $20, JM how can I get that to whoever's collecting? ~Tim 43038[/snapback] Thanks Tim, I believe that the best way would be to make a check to the attention of the family. I will let every one know as soon as I hear back from her. JM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMsAquarium October 25, 2005 Author Share October 25, 2005 Come on people, we certainly can do better. Let's keep the ball rolling. I'll be more than happy to host a little auction/sale party at my house. We could put all the goodies on the table, do some frag sales, collect the proceeds and send them to Bobby's trust fund. Let's work on dates, a weekend, preferably a Sunday, will be best. As for when I am flexible. Munchies and beverages are on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMsAquarium October 25, 2005 Author Share October 25, 2005 Thanks Eve, The trust fund for Bobby is being set up. As soon as I have the information I will post it here, so all of those who have generously offered a contibution will be able to write the check to the attention of the fund and mail them to me. Then we will give the proceeds and contributions to the family on our behalf. Stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
