I use PayPal frequently in my eBay and Lego
transactions...I have about $10 I could throw towards a
bouquet (or a suitable Lego set for Suzanne)
Anyone else think this is a good idea?
I think brightening Suzanne's day ( and Todd's) is worth
it...I have derived so much joy from my Lugnet
experience, I guess it's time to give a little back.
Anyone know if Todd has PayPal?
Sincerely,
John R. Kanehl

Yes he does,
paypal@lugnet.com
If you want to do LEGO to Todd and Suz I bet we could work with The
Construction Site. Believe me they know Todd and Suz. They also giftwrap and
I bet they know their address (If not we do through Auczilla).
www.constructiontoys.com
As far as flowers go I bet we could do something with 1-800-flowers or
something.

I also thought sending some virtual LEGO flowers to Suz (through Todd, of course)
was a good idea - especially since they're from the site that Suz herself set up.
Go to http://www.baseplate.com/legopolis/index.html , then click on "web pages",
then "Flowers by Harry".

Thank you Eric, for the info...
I live in Syracuse NY, so I yield to your personal knowledge and
suggestions. I imagine I will just beam a message w/ the $10 to Todd and
allow him to decide the appropriate gift...unless there is a better suggestion.
(I don't wish to create any more work for Todd)

Hmmmm...maybe we (all interested persons) should send funds to some ONE person
local to Suzanne and Todd and ask that this person deal more directly with
Todd for the purpose of getting a gift from lugnuts to Suzanne. Perhaps this
person could even visit her on behalf of well-wishing lugnuts. This
eleminates making Todd figure anything out at all, including paypal
donations. Plus its nicer if we figure out the gift ourselves.
I vote for ACTUAL flowers to repay Suzanne in kind for the VIRTUAL ones some
of us have been sending via Flowers by Harry. Whaddaya say?
We need a volunteer...

Sounds good to me, I'd be glad to join in. (I'd take care of it if I could,
but I leave in three days and thing'll be quite hectic around here 'til then).
If someone is willing to take care of it, please LMK ASAP - since I'm leaving,
any contribution I can make would have to be RSN.

In retrospect, I think Richard's proposal makes more sense than my idea, so
as to not complicate Todd's life.
I also agree w/ Frank's AND instead of my OR.

Yes! We need a volunteer ASAP. And if I may be so bold, I think that
everyone that is actually a member of Lugnet might consider sending at least a
mere $1 USD -- that gives us (or rather, the person handling it for us all
locally) perhaps an easy $400 USD approx (even half or a quarter of that would
do, of course). And again if I may be so bold, Paypal is an almost instant
method of money delivery so I highly recommend its use by both persons sending
the funds and the person receiving it. We could have something put together
almost over night...
We could establish a deadline so that only money received by a certain time
will be put towards flowers and a lego gift, any extra could be put towards
Lugnet contributions.
Finally, this should be about the number of persons involved and not about
total dollars. I think it would please Suzanne to discover the number of
persons whose leisure time she has influenced as a founder and member of
Lugnet. The person receiving funds could make a list of names to attach to a
card. Something like that...It'd be so great to attach those nearly 400 names
to the card wouldn't it?
Can someone in Nelug(?) please help us out?

Well if people are OK with it I could volunteer. I have a paypal account and
live in the area. If someone else wants to set the time limit thats OK with
me.
I don't want to give out my paypal account right away as I don't want people
jumping the gun and sending me money if people have a problem with me handling
it.
Also just as a note: I will have to talk with Todd about delivering whatever it
is that we decide to get Suzanne. Because of the nature of her illness she is
not listed at the front desk of the hospital so I couldn't go and visit her
myself or even have something delivered. So I will have to work with Todd if
it is to be delivered in the hospital or if it turns out that she is discharged
before we wrap up the donations I could make a scheduled delivery with Todd to
their home.
So if people are OK with me I will give out my paypal account latter this
afternoon and if others want to set the other parameters for the gift that is
fine with me. (If something happens and I have to travel durring this time I
will work with another NELUG member to get the gift to Suz).

I knew you'd volunteer!
How about we set a time limit of next Monday or so? This is so that we can
just get on it...
And if memory serves, Todd said that he could arrange for letters, and the
like -- I think he even mentioned carpooling with other local visitors. Seems
to me that it cannot be too hard to negotiate the matter with him.
If we can get some more "me too"s we are off. Eric is our man. Once that's
settled, I say we just post periodically here on Lugnet about it until next
Monday to let others know what is transpiring and how a very small
contribution will mean a lot "en masse."
CALLING ALL LUGNUTS!!! C'mon everybody -- Join the fun...

I knew he would too... Eric, you're very dependable.

Great!
Any way I can get you the money without paypal, Eric? (under 18 - yet another
thing I can't do! ;-) ... I would like to give a bit more than $1 so would a
check be OK?
> If we can get some more "me too"s we are off. Eric is our man.
You've got mine!

I would like to contribute some small amount for flowers or a gift also, but I
do not have PayPal. I DO have X however. Eric, do you have both? If not does
someone else here have both, and will offer to relay my donation to Eric?

Well I do not have X but I think we can all work out the issues. Obviously
paypal will be easiest but otherwise I can also accept personal checks and if
anyone wants to relay a donation through a thrid party thats OK to we will just
have to work out the logistics so I know I got everything that people said they
donated.
I am cleaning up a couple of things and setting up some E-mail filters etc. so
that I can safely keep track of everyone. Once I have things set up I will
post again with my Paypal address, how to mail me personal checks, and how to
notify me that you sent money through a third party.

OK I think I have this set up to be as smooth as possible. I kind of expect to
get inundated with E-mails so please try and follow the directions below
cafefully so that I can properly track where money is coming from and how much
money is expected. I have set up some E-mail filters to help me keep track.
It does not matter how money gets to me and everyone will get on the same list
of names I give to Suz I just need to know if I should be expecting a transfer,
check, or other method to receive your gift. Each method has its own E-mail
address so I can keep track.
Also I will not be taking personal letters to Suz, Todd is already taking care
of that. I will take her a Card or something with an insert of all the names
of the people who contributed along with whatever gift/flowers we decide on
and our best wishes.
1. PayPal. My paypal account is "kingsley@nelug.org" - Big Secret Eh :-).
E-mail me at: suzpaypal@nelug.org
If you are using PayPal please also send me an E-mail to the address listed
above with your name and the amount you have transfered.
2. Personal Checks.
E-mail me at: suzcheck@nelug.org
If you would like to send me a personal Check send me an E-mail to the address
listed above. I will then send you my Snail Mail Address (I don't want to post
that publicly so sorry for the extra step).
3. Third Party.
E-mail me at: suzthird@nelug.org
Let me know who you are sending money through and how much you are sending.
Also have the third party let me know who the money is from when they send it
to me.
4. International
E-mail me at: suzint@nelug.org
I guess I don't really know exactly how to handle this because my experiance in
the area is quite limited. If you can draw the money in US funds that would be
easiest but if not let me know and we can work something out. If anyone has
experiance dealing with international money orders/checks and can help out it
would be appretiated.
I will let the group decide what we should get. I think a time frame of
through next Monday was suggested. If that is OK I will keep a running total
until then and on Tuesday morning I will post the totals. I don't want to post
running totals because that could scare some people off or alienate others. At
that point we can decide what to get and how to present it to her.
Please be paitent with me on this one. I fully expect to get swamped and there
are other things I have to deal with as well. If you are expecting a response
please give me time to work with everyone.
If anyone wants to copy/cross-post any of the above feel free but please leave
the wording in tact so that my E-mail filters can do their jobs.
Thanks,

Thank you for volunteering!
(it's much easier dealing w/ a person who is located near Todd and Suz)
I have some errands to run...I will PayPal my "have a nice Day" contribution
when I return.

Most people know I am desperately trying to not factor if I don't have to (I'm
back in the US after a month away) but if there are internationals that want to
contribute, don't have another way to do it, and live in a country served by
one of my factorees, fill out a factoring form for your contribution. See
lugnet.market.services for the link.
I will waive fees at my end, although I can't speak for what my factorees will
or will not do.
I will bundle all of the contributions I receive and Paypal eric once (with a
list of all the names to be included as contributors) on monday after the
deadline is over.

That would be best but I realize you are going on vacation so if you are in a
rush send it in a separate envelop with your check and I will make sure it gets
to her.
