Hi
Many of you know I organize the Round Robin. My job is to try to keep up with what is going on and where the minis are.... in that process this post came in,

We had to evacuate and Rita came right through our house. As of yet we do not know when we would be able to return home, or if there is a home to return to. We might be in the Dallas/Fort Worth permanently, as we were planning on moving in December anyway.

(Let me tell you 40 hours for a drive that usually takes only 5 is harrowing, exhausting, and terrifying, I am still in shell shock)

I had not heard from her since, so I emailed.

She mailed in return from the public library, that she has not been around much because they lost everything and did have to relocate. She left me her phone number and I called tonight and got permission to see if I could get some help to her family...she has an eight year old son.

Orchid_Noir has been a CMONer since 2003 ... We help a lot of people we will never know and I would think it would be cool to help one of our own.

I have solicited ideas from others and they have some great ones that I will now begin to flesh out... I am opening up this thread to start the process

A raffle is one idea... I need to check the legalities, and ways to accomplish.
Selling the scouts from the scout competition is an idea and I am going to WOH to ask everyone\'s permission.

I am able to use the TAB Studio Account for this. I am going to helping Orchid_Noir by setting her up to be able to paint then I can photo to help and sell ... she lost her camera and is a great painter so that will h.

Man, that really sucks beyond belief. I don\'t paint fast enough to sell anything on eBay for her :( What can I do?

(For those of you not familiar with Orchid, here\'s her gallery...)

What can I do to help. I have heaps of minis she is welcome to or to use for auction. i dont paint quick enough either to get them up for ebay. How about asking the ME6 to donate thier painted minis Im willing to do that. The scout minis sounds like a good idea as well.

@NSA

Find a gift for her son he is 8 and send it to me I will box it up and or mail or email me and I will send you info for direct mailing how ever you wish.
Ogrebane If you do not mind
I did not join ME this time if you are willing ask there it will mean more coming from someone that is taking part of it and would help.
Thank you

I need to get a hold of Dark Zealot Studios he and GW MD. Justin is the reason we have the W.E. Scouts and I would feel better if he approved it, I will call him asap :D I will post as soon as I have all painters and his agreement in order.

As i\'ve said before, you are more than welcome to sell my scouts to help Orchid_Noir (as they should arrive anyday now so they should be quick to sell and turn into funds)

Please let Dawn and I know what we can do to help. I\'ve got a mini or two painted that I can donate for Wendy, and if there is anything we can help supply her and her son with let us know.

Regards,
Scott

I have an idea which might work since in this case getting help to her fast is important. Apparently she doesn\'t even have a matress to sleep on, and I\'d like to get that fixed ASAP.

So my thought was to sort of do an informal auction for a commissioned piece of work. I\'ve never done a commission, and may never again, but in this case it seems like the best way to offer something that will get help there as fast as possible.

Does this sound doable? Tracy I\'m at your disposal if you like it and want to run with this idea.
