I wanted to post this here in the regular forum because I wanted to make sure that all the donators were properly thanked.

To Jon, Mike, Greg and everyone else who responded to my call for help.....THANK YOU!!!!! It is so very hard to get any support for these kids from the community here because of their backgrounds. These kids come from poor and troubled homes. They know no better than what they have been taught by their parents, siblings and peers. They simply do not know how to be "good" kids. They have no positive role-models in their lives. I am trying, but its tough. We did get a very generous donation from our local John Deere dealership last summer. They donated an old riding lawnmower. The kids rebuilt it from the ground up and we sold it. They each made $125 dollars! Man were they excited! Anyways....thank you all very much, anything we get will be used and cherished....thank you, thank you, thank you.

Glenn...what sort of stuff do you need for your youth group? We have a Swap Meet coming up, might find some deals. I could bring stuff up for Prairie Fire, if'n y'all ever decide what the date will be. I probably should bring our club's riding mower up. What's your group's turnaround time on complete rebuilds?

Hi Steve...I can really use just about anything. I am getting very low on flying lines; we build our own handles, etc. I have lots of 1/2a stuff due to anothers donation....wow....did he donate 1/2a stuff! The kids are still rubbing their collective mits over that one Props are another thing we could use...as you can imagine! LOL I would like to get some of those old fibreglass, white ones. If boiled the temper comes out and they make excellent training props. I will generally take anything...I had a call from the school the other day and it appears they have a couple of kids that would also like to get involved. oh boy....just never quits \

And as to the turn around tiome on rebuilding....if Alana would stop having babies for a few weeks I am sure she could get her plane fixed
