Everyone–big chip-in from my boss–we’re over $1,000 in total contributions. We’re talking about one seriously big pile o’ pencils.

More news soon.

Update, 12/18:

Donations have passed $500 and are closing in on $600. I went back to Costco for another 38 pounds of little chocolate bars–photos to OW later. In all, 75 pounds of Hershey’s miniatures–I’m guessing about 4,000 pieces. They’re boxed and I’m putting the labels on when I’m finished posting.

I ordered 480 dozen pencils today (that’s 5,760 of ‘em). When they arrive at the wholesaler, I’ll pick them up and cart them straight to the post office.

Thanks, everybody!

I found Nimrod. And Marty was the other person I couldn’t find an address for.

Get in touch, man!

Got it, Smith.

The contributions are rolling in. Thanks to everyone who has contacted me!

I don’t have email addresses for Nimrod, fd, or Hedley. (I’m forgetting somebody else, but who?) If you guys are in on this, will you please contact me?

Either click through my name and send an email to quakerinabasement@hotmail.com, or roll down to the previous thread and find my other address.

And thanks, OW! The new post will keep this effort in front of all our regulars. I think we’ll have it all on the road by sometime next week.

Wow! You guys are simply amazing. Quaker, did you get my reply to your email that I sent? When the PAO gets the stuff and we send it out, I will make sure and have plenty of pictures sent to O Dub, so he can post them and you all can see how much the children appreciate this. You guys are wonderful.
