Yep, even if you don't have a deep mason jar at least it helps. Plus it's alot of fun just to win something, no matter how small, or to help get that bid a little higher...

I bought a pair of used LaCrosse rubber snake boots off the auction for $30 a couple of years ago. I've used them each of the last two hunting seasons, especially when scouting in the spring and summer. Little things are needed as well. Everyone does not have big bucks to spend. Always remember that donations are also excepted. If a 1,000 tradgangers gave $25.00 a piece that would be $25,000. How many members do we have on this site? I'm a firm believer that everyone can do something to help the kids, some just more than others. But every little bit counts.

I think there's about 18,800 members. If everyone gave just 5 bucks we'd be at $94,000 and just shy of the usual goal of at least $100,000.

And the auction items would easily make up the rest

Almost 19,000 members and I bet there will be close to 20,000 by the auction.

All the "silver" keeps disapearing from my jar! Kids are alway wanting extra lunch money, I guess. I will do what I can to help out this year though. I look forward to all the fun each year as the auction nears. Should be a banner year.
 God Bless Trad Gang and the St. Judes kids.

Doug gave me an idea for a auction item for this year. Matter of fact I have a couple of ideas.

As a card-carrying member of the bid high and bid often club, "squirreling" just doesn't seem to fit my style.  Now "hoarding" is a different story!   :bigsmyl:

Only a little over 3 months to go people.

I know things are tight for most everyone so planning ahead is a good thing.

Do it for the kids!

The old order is passing. Swiftly receding into memory are the days of strong, earnest men who followed an atavistic yearning to pit their skills against wild animals.
