Thanks to all who have donated this year! There are plenty of lights for all.

******************************************************************************

It's that time of year again.

Here's the way I did it in the past - 2003 2004 2005 2006 - and this year I'm going to do it the same way as last year, let everyone share in the fun. So what I'm asking for is to have some of you donate a light that you're not using to make someone else's Christmas brighter.

If you have something to donate, please don't post what it is in this thread. I'd like to keep that a surprise until the day of the drawing. Send me an e-mail with what you'd like to donate.

I'd like to keep the same rules for the drawing as I had in the previous Christmas threads, but if you want to donate a light and don't like my rules, I'm flexible.

If you'd like to donate, it would be easiest if you just held on to the light until it is chosen. That way you could send it directly to the person who chose it, instead of mailing it to me and having me mail it again.

Gift donations will be accepted up until the day of the drawing; I'll have the drawing November 30th.

This thread is just for people who would like to donate a light. I'll start a thread next week for those of you who would like to receive a light.

:grouphug: Thanks Everyone, for the fun year.

I would donate if I wasn't a High School Junior without job.

Until I get some money and a paypal account, the only thing I could give is recommendations, advice, and links.

This is one reason why I stuck with CPF, there is always a positive attitude and kindness is always present.

Thanks for organizing this again ksbman. I'll give it some thought, and send you an e-mail once I've figured what to give away.

And Gunner12, I'd recommend you sign up for the recipient list. :) I've noticed you do an excellent job of synthesizing and sumarizing information on lights here - especially for all those newbie posts, which must of us don't have time for. It's a valuable service for the community.
 
Re: Need Donations for Christmas Gifts V

Alright, I'm in for a couple items. Lemme dig around and see what I can find. I'll email as soon as I can :)
 
Re: Need Donations for Christmas Gifts V

I'm in for at least one light, perhaps more!

E-mail will follow, later this week :D

Yea, Gunner12 should definately sign up for the receipient list. He's hella informative and helpful.

I wish I could donate too, but I only got 1 light. I hope I can participate next year.

Re: Need Donations for Christmas Gifts V

i am finally in the position where i can donate a light, but i was wondering if i could still be in the recieving side to, its nice to get a random light.

Here are the rules I've used in the past. -

"-This offer is open to those active members of the CPF community who cannot afford to buy one of these lights themselves, whether it be because they have no job, no disposable income, or are still in school.

- If you have a few 'high end' lights, but don't have any cash at the moment, you don't qualify.
- If you just don't want to spend your own money, you don't qualify.
- If you just want another light to add to your collection, you don't qualify.
- If you aren't registered at CPF before this post, you don't qualify.
- If you haven't posted at CPF in the last 6 months before this post, you don't qualify.

Please do not ask to be considered just because you do not want to spend your own money. Let someone who truly is in need have a chance to get a light."

If you qualify, then you can receive a light. If you think they are unfair, let me know.

Cannot afford to give this year with my wife off the past month and all the doctor bills, but have to say it was nice being able to last year, and highly recomend to anyone with the wearwithall to do so.
 
Re: Need Donations for Christmas Gifts V

I have to see what I have sitting around, but I'm definitely in for at least one.

I'll send an email once I've figured things out.
