Has Trad Gang gotten too large?

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Good for you Whip on starting this post.

 I built a hand tooled quiver and was planning on keeping it from the get go but had some comments on how much guys here liked it and I thought "Shoot Dang! I can build anothern" I was just gonna leave it at that but you got me diggin a little deeper bud.    

 Got to go post some stuff for the auction now!

I am at work and don't have a ton of time to sift through all the different threads with "St. Judes" in the title.  Can somebody send me a pm with when the deadline for posting an item to be bid on?
Thank You

[Mudd]

Good question! sndmn11. Thanks for asking it and BTW when is the deadline for getting something posted?...lol

God bless,Mudd

I agree with you 100% Stiks... I have been on a lot of boards and a lot of lists and this one really lives up to its name.  A Gang, of folks with very traditional values and leaders that have a feeling of community behind them.  What is the point in having such a community if you can put it to use helping those that need it most.

So I have until 6/1 at 8pm to post an item for bidding?

[gregg dudley]

Yes.  Sometimes things trickle in after that, but they tend to get lost in the shuffle and never bring what they could if they were posted sooner.

Great post Whip. You got the ball rolling for sure. I'd been meaning to post my unused, new condition, old,Bear 8 arrow snap on quiver, but just never got around to it. Your post pushed me over the ledge. I'll also be trying to buy a few items. If I get outbid, I'll just make a donation at the end of the auction. Every little bit helps. God Bless St. Judes and all the kids under their care, and God Bless the men and women on this site for caring.

Whip, my friend, there will be a special place for you when we are done with you here on earth    

You got my mind headed in the right direction with your post. We are not doing the Banana bread this year due to lack of time and other things. I've looked through my stuff and nothing seemed to say"St. Jude's". After reading this thread I've come up with a couple items to donate. Thank you Brother.

I'll send an extra $10 if Terry doesn't quote Dick Cheney again! Mission Accomplished...but for real this time, and for the kids!      

[Terry Green]

Thanks Whip!...We are now passed last years donation numbers in items...which I felt we'd need to be to do last years numbers.

Thanks again.

Northwest_Hunter, If you could send the pics to most anyone they could put them on for you but they can't get onto the thread untill the bidding opens. However, if you send them to a moderator I think they can get in to post the pics for you now (early). Hope this helps.

That was funny, Biggie (to me anyway) about not being able to see the ol' BB - a pair of long shanked tweezers might hep ya a heap -          

Thanks, Whip - I love doing what I can, it is one of the biggest highlights of my year - and, BTW, that post was as good as your first one was.
I may even find a couple more items after this weekends shoot. I'm just so sorry I've had to ask for shipping on all of my items this year. My daughter's operation (that she had no money for) about wiped me out.

(This is a fine example of how long it takes me to two-finger-type up a post -     :rolleyes:    )

Whip, you're the man for getting the Gang motivated! We've still got a bunch more to list and we've got a few surprises also........Skyler thinks you should buy the bowfishing trip AND the Catfish Noodlin' trip. We can do it all in a week-end and then you would have the "Complete Southern Experience"

Thanks, Whip, and well said.  There's a mindset some folks have that I'll never understand -- you can give them a bag full of gold and they'll bitch about the bag.        

Now I need to go add something to the auction...    

[Benny Nganabbarru]

I'm glad the donations are rolling in.

Not for the Tradgang but I did score a 15K mile service from my Shop manager here at Radley Chevrolet to add to the auction block for the 1st Annual St. Jude & VBA Charity Shoot, I had already donated to this cause & thought that I could get something from where I work at.

[azhunter]

Whip...THANKS I will find some items to donate.  You have a great heart. My wife and I donate a lot to our church and other charities. I am one of those that have said I cannot donate to everything so I did not participate in this auction the way I should. Count me in I will be donating.

[Whip]

I'm truly humbled by the response to this thread. Never expected anything like this, but I sure am glad I opened my mouth.

Thanks so much for everything you all do, whether donating, bidding, cheerleading, or whatever. And thank you to everyone for all the kind words here, with PM's phone calls, etc. I can't tell you how much it means to me.
