Hi all, lets keep the judgements out of this thread please.
Also, We have had donations totaling $250.00 towards the bench to be sent to the zoo in RC's name.
I would like to see more people donate a few dollars if they can.
I had hope that more people, especially the ones posting here would help out, some have but most hav'nt.
Lets put your money where your mouth is people and get this bench and plaque paid for so that we can get it sent to the zoo ha?
See first post on this page for the thread.
Would not seem fair to send this to the zoo from the RC's people with only 11 people having paid for it now does it?

Let's not put pressure on people to donate here. It's a personal thing. Certainly doesn't make anyone less caring about the situation. People have their own passion as to where their money goes for donating.

I have read the post however I dont see where it explains how the bench is going to end up at the zoo. has anyone contacted the zoo to assure that there is room for the bench or that they will use it? if you could explain a little more detail as to how that portion of the deal is going to work I would appreciate it!!

Your right Debi, but this is going to them from RC, not from 11 people.
I will pay for the balance of it if I have to . enough said.

Karen, I really think this was a great idea. But you made the call about it being from RC, not the people here. Insulting them because they are not donating has tainted this thread for me.

I don't think she was really insulting them.

Not to start an argument. But I agree Karen, the more people who donate, the better. It is always better to have 25 people donate 10$ than 10 people donating 25$.

RC is made of hundreds, not 11 people.

No pressure, but like stated before, every dollar counts.


God bless you all.

I'd love to donate but I don't have a paypal account, nor wish to have due to fraud problems.

Sk8r, see the thread for info on sending Karen cash or check by mail if you want to donate.

This thread has run it's course. While I think what Karen is trying to do is a nice gesture, it's not something officially supported by RC. Please contact her directly.

Thanks
