Sherri, Bill, and Family My Thoughts and Prayers to you for your loss. I know that the Memories of your mother will keep in your heart forever and will always be those of Love, Sharing and Happiness. You are blessed with many Good Friends here, and you can count me as one.
Now - Down to this Raffle!!
Wow!!
This is the 1 Great Quest!! Thanks to Bruinfan, Gregory, Billky, TinMan, for taking on my Challenge. I'm stepping it up to 40 Tickets.
It's really aw sum to see all those that are stepping up and doing what you can. I want to see a challenge from our Dealers.
Kellyco I'm targeting you as one. I spread the word for you and send you many buyers from here in S. Fl. , Even calling you in time of need for a Detector. I have 6 Detectors from KellyCo, | 2 Fisher 1280X |
2 fisher 1210 | 1 Fisher 1212 | 1 Garrett Master Hunter | Many extra coils and covers,diggers,maps, and parts I have needed. And again to over the 1/2 Dozen other hunters who bought a Fisher from you that I sent your way. I'm not looking for just KellyCo to step up, there are you Dealers out there that Members here are Faithful to and send you much needed Business. Come on Dealers, here is chance to step up and be recognized. There is a long list of Dealers and Thank You for those that have Stepped up First, Now Let's here from the rest of you Dealers.
Not many days left, I collected a few extra donations and found a nice 14k 18in chain, broke about 1\3 of the way from clasp. Got a good price for it, so helping with the purchase of extra Tickets.
I Love a good challenge,
MET ME OR BEAT ME 40 Tickets

Mark that is truly generous, Greg said that he has already received the money for the extra tickets. Wow, thanks again buddy. As I’m sure you know, what goes around, comes around.

So Mark has moved the challenge bar a little higher, ok a lot higher. Anyone willing to meet his challenge for this worthy cause?

Totals update at 10pm tonight!

Dave

Hi Folks,

Well I’ve succeeded in confusing myself and Greg by adding the actual daily gifts that Greg received together with the amount that people posted they are going to send that day. I was afraid that might happen. Part of the confusing is the gifts are sent in your real name, and we can’t match every giver’s real name to their forum name. Sorry.

So to end my confusing let’s back it up a notch and just count the actual gifts Greg receives each day. I know, duh! lol.

The one thing I am sure of is, y’all are a really good bunch of caring, sharing people that are going to make an amazing Christmas miracle happen. I’m so glad I found my way here to hang out you guys.

Give me until tomorrow to clean up my mess and I’ll post all the club updates.


Today’s Gifts:
Total Gifts Received: $216.31

Today we needed at least $19 to stay on track and we received $216.31. BAM! Excellent job everyone!

Great idea, when it rains it pours and it's nice to see so many good people here pouring out blessings to Bill & Sheri. I just did by PayPal.

Sorry I’m late, stayed up all night with my dog.

We decided the best way to do the drawing is to print everyone’s name out once for every ticket they bought, put them in a large container and let somebody pick one.

Greg’s printer is on the fritz right now so he asked me to do it. I’ll print the names on my 80 per page return address label program, chop and fold them, then get a friend to come over and pull one.

The drawing will be between 7-8pm Friday with the winner being posted Dec. 7th at 8pm.

Be sure to have your gifts in the mail by Monday evening and paypal donations sent by Thursday night.

Thanks for the wise words TINMAN, so true. I really like the ones on the other thread! Free Detector drawing has been moved up to this coming Friday! Dec. 7th

Thanks for your gift Alan and thanks for all that you add to this forum! You’ve been missed even by this newbie… Welcome back!

Update at 10pm tonight.

Thanks again everyone!

Default If I may....

I want to take a moment and post to this thread.

Tomorrow at 7:19PM EST, Will mark the 2nd week that since Sheri's mother left this mortal world and stepped into the great beyond.

We have had a very trying and to say the least, emotionaly draining month.

Sheri has been at her parents house since September. I had my surgery just eleven days before her mother died. We are still staying there to help her father cope and to get that house in order. needless to say we are tired. but we keep moving on.

My wife is holding up very well. The children are holding their own. We are doing our best to remember the love and cherish the memories with out falling apart. To be strong for the grand babies and never let them forget.

I have read this post nightly. Sheri has looked at it a few times herself.


WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO THANK ALL OF YOU GOOD FOLKS ENOUGH.

Befor i even had surgery we were asking ourselves what we would do. how were we going to make it.

I have said it over and over again. TQ IS THE BEST FORUM ANY WHERE ONLINE PERIOD.

To the good people of people of TreasureQuestXLT. all i can say is we love each and every one of you. you all have gone above and beyond anything we could have ever expected.

I KNOW THANK YOU WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH.

Please know thaht each and every one of you are in our prayers and we ask that God bless not just the membership, but the forum itself, its moderators and it founder GREG.

im at a loss for words to properly say how grateful and thankful we are. not just for the gift. but for the support, the best wishes, the hope and especially the prayers.

I THANK YOU... SHERI THANKS YOU AND MY CHILDREN THANK YOU....


God bless you all and

:merrychristmas:
