CASH FOR CLUNKERS

Sent four larger-sized (7 3/4, 7 7/8, and 8) hats in one box today. Art, do me a favor and let me know when they get there. I think I forgot to get delivery confirmation. Hope you can use them. At the least, you could cut one in half and make two hats for smaller guys. Thanks for doing this, I think it's a great idea. Frank

Boy, some of this thread is missing from the crash last year. what is missing is the ending. We ended up donating over a dozen hats ( 15 if memory serves right) and the "Dom" actually sent a letter thanking us for putting the program together and following thru with it. Like many northern parts of the country, it's get pretty cold here in the winter.
What I'm leading up to Gents is this. I received a call from the Dom representative asking if I would consider doing it again so, I'm putting it out there for your consideration. If you are willing to part with some hats that you don't wear anymore and are considering having me make a hat for you sometime in the future, I would be happy to offer the same deal and make sure the Vets know they where the hats are coming from. I will make sure they are wearable cleaned before taking them down the mountain.
What say you Gents? Can we make Christmas a little warmer for a Vet?

Awesome, Art. Glad to hear that the last "Cash for Clunkers" was so successful. I'll gladly participate again as I'm sure I have a couple hats that I can offer up and I truly believe this is a wonderful gesture. :eusa_clap

Thank you Frank, I'll let you know when they get here and Thanks for helping. Please know that it is all appreciated. It was 22 degrees this morning when I fed the animals so they can't come too soon.

Geoff, any hats you won't miss would work just great. It's all good Sir!!!

Art,

I just boxed up a hat for you to use with your veteran's project. It will go to the post office on Monday, and should be to you before your December 15th time frame.

Art; I have shipped these to you this morning. Use what you can, re-cycle those you do not feel are worthy of your efforts.

You've set the bar pretty high Eric. Great gesture, and especially impressive when you figure how much you could have sold those elsewhere for. Some veterans will have a warm and extra sharp Christmas this year. Happy Holidays. Frank

Veterans rule!

Frank, I understand that you and I have set the extremes of the size settings. I tip my small head towards your big head in similar appreciation, Eric -

Thanks Robert, I'll be making more than one trip I think. It looks like we will have at least 20 hats to donate this year. I've already talked to the Coordinator & he's pretty stoked about it. I have a few that need work before going down the hill so it may take a second trip. At any rate he is extremely grateful for whatever comes his way.
