This time I know about it and would attend. > > Jack Landers > >Dear List. >I would like to jump in while we are talking about JVFOA and the News Letter. >Oh well lets through in our list as well. >I would like to raise a little money. I am open to suggestions anything from >selling DiAnn at public auction to just plan old donating because it is >needed. >Here is what I would like to raise money for. >1. It cost $25 per year to maintain our list on the web. It was paid last >year by a friend of the list. It has already been spoken for this year 2000 >by a Friend of the Vick list. However you and I both know it will come up >year after year. How do you think we should raise the money to pay for the >list we all enjoy so much? All put a little in the pot each year. Or take >turns coughing up the $25 bucks by one generous sole each year as we go? >2. The JVFOA News letter? This is the only source of income the JVFOA Inc. >has so if you don't get the News letter but want to contribute to the cause >just subscribe. >They say confession is good for the soul so here goes. I am behind in my >JVFOA dues. I don't know where to send the money. (That's my story and I am >sticking to it.) I know it has been posted on this list but as you all know >by now, I don't keep records. Out of sight out of mind. So if the nice man >would be kind enough to post where our dues can be sent again I will bring my >delinquent account up to date. I beleive this act alone will keep JVFOA >solvent for a few years to come.I know they are a not for profit organization >but it does take money to write and mail out the news letter. Well, I don't >think it takes money for DiAnn to write she is rather small and I think a >crust of bread from time to time should be enough... (Grin) Of course DiAnn >knows I am just teasing her. She has done so much for so long with so little >I hope it never changes. (Now I am really GRINNING) >#. lastly and I understand this one may not make the cut. Or we should talk >about it some before we move on this one. >I would like to have two vinyl banners made with the Vick Crest and maybe the >History of the Family name on it to be posted at our Annual JVFOA Reunions. >This might even help us decide what we are going to accept as our family >crest. Nobody seems to know what it should be now? I know there are some >different ones out there. The History of the name? You guys know I don't >care. I did pay an outfit to do the research for me and I have what they came >up with. If that is acceptable to all well maybe I should say most I don't >think we can get an ALL does anybody out there. Any way I posted what I have >to the My Family page if you have not seen the crest and the history of the >name you can go check it out, who knows you might like it.. I am not trying >to make that be the right one. I would just like for the main researchers and >the most affluent ones involved in the VICK research to come up with >something they can agree on and lets fly it just like we knew what we were >doing. >So what do you think guys and Girls? Wouldn't you like to check in to the >next Motel where the JVFOA is having the Reunion and see a nice Welcome To >The JVFOA banner with our family Crest and whatever on it. >If you don't want to do any of the stuff above vote for me in Nov.
