We are sending "Rigs Of CK5" calendars to our soldiers. LAST DAY!!!!!

[B.N.Z.MTNS]

We are sending “Rigs of CK5” calendars to our soldiers We want you to help.

After some discussions with other members on here I have decided to head up a Calendar project for our military brothers. The basic goal is to get as many calendar donations as possible and then get them sent to our members in the military overseas and at home.

This will require 2 critical things from all of you.

First: We need calendars to be purchased / donated for the cause.

Second: We need military names to be submitted from our members for us to send the calendars to.

Over the years I have been a part of several military support projects that involve sending packages to our soldiers. Many times it has been car / truck / motorcycle magazines that keep them motivated for the things they love back home. I know from a few personal friends that they love getting those type of things because it is a mental break from the ho hum life overseas or the mental garbage they have to deal with everyday. I figure for our CK5 members that are serving away from home that it would be nice to pass by a calendar hanging in their quarters and be reminded that we all support them. Paul, Kim and I agree on this and hopefully the rest of you will join us.

Details:
Here’s how it will work.
I will be collecting and organizing a database of the soldiers that have been submitted to receive a calendar. I will keep this list and communicate to Paul and Kim how many soldiers have been submitted. They are adding an option on the calendar order page for us to purchase a calendar for our soldiers. Once we have received all the submissions and all the calendar donations we will send them out to the soldiers. The first submissions will be sent out first until we run out of calendar donations. The deadline for all of this to happen is November 1st.


Soldier Submission requirements:
I will need the names and addresses of soldiers sent to me via email or PM. I will develop a list to forward to Paul and Kim. The following information will be needed:
• Full name (& CK5 username if applicable)
• Mailing address to be sent to (Base, housing, unit # etc.) Home address if military address isn’t known.
• I will need your name and username and in case more soldier information is required.
• Submit all information to:
[email protected] or send a private message in CK5 to B.N.Z.MTNS

This is intended to encourage our CK5’ers on deployment right now, however, you may submit names of soldiers at home and non CK5’ers too. Depending on response we will get them sent overseas first, then to our members at home and non-members.

*If by chance we get more calendar donations than soldier’s names, I will forward the remaining calendars via local Colorado branch to units on deployment.

Calendar Donations:
• Follow the link to the order page as if ordering for yourself.
http://www.crowfootsureprint.com/ck52014/
• Be sure to look for an option indicating that this purchase is for one of our soldiers and make that selection as well as how many calendars you are donating.
• Paul and Kim will set aside those calendars to be sent after all the soldier name submissions are sent in.


If I forgot any details or anyone has anything to add please post up or send me a message. Lets make this happen

First of all, I big thanks goes out to Brian for handling the logistics for this very worthwhile cause. Kim will be updating the sales page with an option to buy a calendar for a soldier sometime early this evening.

On top of that, if we end up selling 20 calendars to send to our troops, Kim and I will donate an additional 5 to add to the pot.

So, if you know a soldier serving overseas, or someone serving right now, get ahold of Brian and add their name to the list!!!! Let's do our best to give them a little taste of home while they are putting their lives on the line defending our way of life!!!!

You sir are very correct in this statement. My buddies and I would try to find anything to get our minds off of our duty work. I salute and thank you for this initiative.

Kim will be updating the sales page first thing tomorrow. Keep your eyes on this thread- I'll post up when the "Buy a calendar for a soldier" link is active!!!

After thinking about it for a couple of days I think the hardest part will be getting a list of service men and women together. I know that most of the folks on here are all willing to give up a few extra bucks and support our soldiers. However, we may know who our military members are but maybe not well enough to have their contact information or comfortably enough to ask for it.

With this being an open forum, its not exactly a secret to our military members on here but it is intended to be somewhat anonymous. If I don't get a decent mailing list going within a couple of weeks then I might solicit a list of known members usernames so I can reach out to them directly and get some contact info I'll see how things are looking in a week or two and check with Paul & Kim on calendar donations.

I'm also reaching out to friends and family on FB and email contacts that I know might want to send a couple bills to support our troops. It might turn into a few extra calendars. Food for thought...

The "buy a calendar for a soldier" option has been added to the calendar sales page, lads!!!!!

 

[blazinzuk]

And it even works

Cool idea guys, very happy to help out

 

[B.N.Z.MTNS]

Back to the top.

We need more military names submitted to send some calendars to. CK5'er or not, we just want to show our troops some support and give them something from us back home.

dammit!! my paypal account is on suspension. Stupid dispute that actually went my way blah blah blah gotta send a check cause CC company did as I told and cancelled payment.

 

[Greg Ducato]

Happy to help, great idea

 

[cybrfire]

I'm in for 10 calendars for the troops.

PM inbound.

 

[munepit]

I will help too!

 

[B.N.Z.MTNS]

Thanks for the support guys.

So far it sounds like we have more calendars than CK5 soldiers to send them to so please get some more names to me so we can get them headed to our members. However, if our calendar to soldier ratio is too high, we will still send them to soldiers on deployment and they will still be an encouragement for the troops, but I'd like to take care of our CK5'ers first.

 

[K85 Octane]

is there a way I can buy a few without using paypal?

It's probably best to send a PM to paul (CanCan) or look through the original calendar thread. I think he touches on that in the instructions.

Awesome, Kert!!!! With Kert buying 10, we're getting close to 20 soldier calendars sold. Another few and Kim and I will add 5 more to the pot!

Be sure to get some more Armed Forces names to Brian , too.

 

[blazer74]

I'm in for 1 for myself and 1 for a soldier.

If we need more for the soldiers I'm in for more, let me know.

 

[B.N.Z.MTNS]

As the order timeline winds down for the calendars so does the timeline for submitting soldiers names to send them to. If you have someone in mind, get me their info within the next week or so. Even if they are not a CK5 member, but a family member or friend, we can still get a calendar their way if there are some left over.

Thanks for the support so far.
