O/T Haiti Earthquake

I would 100 times more prefer to donate through your organization John- I won't get "political" here, and I appreciate former President Clinton heading an appeal for funds to aid Haiti- as on National TV- But I am more trusting of your stewardship here than any Gov't related operation, at least for now.

I went down from our Church with a few other 'retirees" also skilled in carpentry and construction, both to FL. after the 4 hurricanes hit, and later after Katrina- and some, not all of course, of the government efforts to help were bogged down in red tape-fact of life I should guess.

Please keep us all posted as you can on this and what we can do to bring effective help to that island so devastated by the earthquake-- FM

The headline is in pretty poor taste but worthy of being sent to David Letterman.

I am sure John is a little busy right now, as we can all imagine. I went to the website for Johns organization and made a donation, which was very easy. Here is the site www.rennwish.org

The headline is in pretty poor taste but worthy of being sent to David Letterman.[ I'll pass on making any "off-beat" comment until I see it Pete, and I am known by my friends to have a "Letterman outlook" at times- BUT- for anything to be in questionable taste regarding our friend and Board mentor Mr. Dunkle and his (and his wife's too) Christian efforts and outlook- Thanks for supporting John and his mission outreach not only in other times, but now as well-- Francis M.- PS-- revised 1/15/2010-- John, anyone can say "My check is in the mail" but mine will be mailed to you tomorrow- at the PO box 4219 Portsmouth, NH address listed-

I know this is "spitballing" a bit, but it will take a long time to rebuild, and many donations- I'm just wondering if the PGCA BOD might consider taking a % of the raffle ticket revenues from the next Vintagers (Sept- 2010) and donating it to Rennwish? Maybe some of our members here who also belong to the LC Smith, AH Fox or LeFever groups might also consider a similar event- and perhaps some of the up-coming clays shoots this year, a % of the funds could go to help out.

I can't, of course, speak for everyone, but most of us are lucky to have enjoyed a comfortable life, regardless of how the means to gain that were garnered. When I consider the tragedy that befell Haiti- the most impoverished Country in the Free World, the old phrase: "There but for God's grace go you and I"-- with all best wishes!! Francis M.

Donating to John's organization could not be easier, I clicked the web link and was done in 30 seconds. Good luck to John and his friends in Haiti.
