Wow ........ this is so great - all this outpouring. I love it.
Your generous gifts can be made out to the school:

New Hope Academy

and sent to me @

"stuff" can certainly be donated, as well, but the only disclaimer I must post is this:
We pride ourselves on giving these kids the state of teh art in every area of technology. That's why we use the highest end Mac's and software. We'd certainly love any gift you send our way, but in the modern studio setup that we teach from, there is little that is even a year old. We're very proud to offer this high end approach to the music production business, and we only buy the very best stuff to use as teaching aids.

With THAT said ........ again, I echo thinx for all your efforts. This was an unexpected surprise, and you are truly saving the lives of these kids by giving them something to keep them out of jail, or worse. I am so grateful that I found you people, tears ago ... and now, that I found this wonderful school.

Dave

Did you mention Jail, if so my understanding is it cost about $65,000 a year per prisoner incarcerated. keeping kids out of the street and jails in a no brainer. Certainly worth a few bucks IMHO.

Also moving this back to the top of the list.

My self appointed job.

Hey, Dave..."the check is in the mail"!

Speaking of "STUFF", I found some more of those wonderful "Kentucky Nuggets". Thought of auctioning them off for donations, but think I would actually have to PAY people to take them.

How Sad, in light of the fact that "it's the REAL
S***!".


Say Hi to the kids for me!

Kids..hmmm..

alright.. alright... yep count me in...

Kids....

Just gotta love 'em I think...
I'll send mine out tomorrow morning or maybe even later today if'n I ever get outta here.

Well, the school had a "family fun night" at the school tonight, and I ran a sing-a-long. We made over $1000 for the prom and the drama committie! I'm amazed at the generosity ..... and then, I get home and the first check from the "zone" was in the mailbox, so this was a banner night !

I'll post a thank you list monthly, and I'm sure my boss will have a personal letter of thanx sent to each of you. God bless you all, and thanx for the effort. I'm proud to know you !

Dave do I just use your email address in your profile for PayPal payments?

Nigel,
I don't think it would be right to have payments made out to me, so paypal isn't really an option. If you're ok with it - I'd rather you make a check out to New Hope Academy, and mail it to me at home. I'll collect the checks and deliver them to school once a month. That way, you get the tax reciept too for a nonprofit donation.
Will that deter you from making a gift?
