Default Charity choice

The Children's Hospital for me Ken. however, that being said I will go along with the majority if it sees fit to make it otherwise. Also I know you said my auction item gives me a credit to pick something of my choosing. Can I use it to pick something nice if I have the opportunity and just flip that item into the auction also? I don't need any new toys and I am sure either charity can always use a few extra bucks.

Absolutely. Very generous.

What does this mean? Did you set a contribution up with Ken or are talking the truck canopy and bug deflector?

Honestly, I believe that a slush fund is a great idea. However I believe it to be unmanageable. Ken in no way should you or anyone else put yourself out there to that extent.
Give the cash to the Runner up.

A/O pulls together when needed. A slush fund will not help any more than what happens usually

Calgary Children's hospital is a great idea. We have done Edmonton based charity's in the past, lets spread the wealth.

Children's hospital is a great choice, the emergency fund seems like a good idea but it would be a nightmare to manage.

I'll value each of the two items at ~$25

I'd like to claim the reels please.

Ok, done deal thanks everyone.
I will get ahold of the Calgary children's hospital monday morning and see if they will accept our donation.

Back to our regularity scheduled program

Print is valued at 45$


Kinect and games is 110$

still up for grabs plus the rims off a early 90's chev

Will also add in dodge running boards-paid 150$ so value is 150$ will fit a quad cab or shorter. One needs a little work for the bracket.

I will put up a round (100 targets) of sporting clays at Silver Willow. I will take the person out and supply either a 20 gauge or 12 gauge shotgun to use. I will also provide the ammo.

This can also be split for 2 people to shoot a round of 50 each. Ammo and shotguns still included.

Approx value is $70-$75

Great way to get new shooters involved or meet experienced ones and have a good time dusting some clays.

We seem to be fizzling. Are we done? Time to go to the Auction items?

I was hoping this would keep going longer, but if not I can get going on the auctions. They will be one at a time, start to finish then start another one.
