LP: DONK RAISE 09

Hi (please read - its not as entertaining as impressions of players but its quite important)

Ok Ive always felt a little bit guilty that the LP charity drive we tried before never took off and it kinda ended up fizzling out.
So we are going to try again.

If you remember last time, we were going to sponsor a child. The problem was a lot of people jumped on board (which was great) but it kinda spiraled out of control to the point where it was gonna be way too hard to collect all the money to sponsor mass children and in the end we had nothing to show for it.

So this time we are going to do things a little differently... I present:

YES!

Some of you may be familiar with Oxfams "Unwrapped" shop. In which you can purchase a "gift" for someone, which is basically something useful for people in the third world instead of buying something stupid for your friends/family.

You can read about it here: http://www.oxfamunwrapped.org.nz/shopping.asp?

One of the items is a donkey.... but "why a donkey?" I hear you say;

1: A donkey is extremely useful to a family living in the third world.
2: They are hardy animals
3: Humorous poker analogy
4: They look funny
5: Price is reasonable to collect for a poker forum

So here is how we are going to try it this time around.

The first step is we are going to purchase ONE DONKEY:

Donation per person will be $5 USD per person (14 people)

Total donkey costs about $70 USD. (converted from the NZ Unwrapped shop)

Depending on your feedback you can either; send money directly to me or we will get Meat (or another LP admin) to escrow the money if you feel uncomfortable with the idea. We can sort among the first 14 participants.

So there are 14 spaces open for the first donkey. HOWEVER we will have the option to purchase additional items/donkeys/other charity ventures in this thread. Reserve spaces will be left incase people opt out/cant be reached/dont send for the first donkey.

PLEASE KEEP THIS SEMI ON-TOPIC and dont get into any rants about other ways money can be spent / other items / charities / political discussion / etc. Until we have the first Donkey sat at the table grinding for a family in need of aid.

I will update this list as we go:
