Guiding Eyes For the Blind. Give, or become a puppy raiser. How cool! A puppy you can take to the mall! A very worthwhile organization.

Question for the old timers, especially the old misfits and Gman.

It will soon be a year since we found out ARGH died.

Should I take the sig line out?
Should I link it to the graffiti wall picture?
His sister changed her email address. So if anyone wants to make a donation I guess she might know if we post it here. I made a small donation for some reason that I don't remember...maybe Christmas, and the email that I gave the charity came back.
Maybe find an alien like my mouse and ask one of you guys to link a photo to it.....might do that. Or try to do it myself...I understand what I am suppose to do, it just never works for me.

AlienResearchGrpHome wrote:Hi –

I am logged on as ARGH but I am his sister and mother of the beautiful boy that appears many times on this site. What you did not know, as he intended it that way, is that my brother had Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) as well. He adored his niece and nephews and it broke his heart to know that Lucien would face many of the same challenges as he had. We lost my incredible brother on June 10th to complications of SMA and we miss him terribly. The woot fun, the crazy contests, and especially the community was a big part of his life for quite some time. It is so touching to peek on here periodically and see you unknowingly honoring him the way you have by keeping the SMA charity thread alive. Thank you and blessings to you all.

PS I would post an updated picture but I am not near as savvy as my brother and do not know how. If you are want to, e-mail me and I will send one to be posted.

A year ago today.
I never would have believed I would miss someone I never met so much.
Never.
The picture of Lucien, the beautiful child is missing. I hope and pray all is well with you Lucien.
Your beautiful sister and fuzzy headed brother too.

ARGH, your memory will stay alive in the minds and hearts of the people you know here, forever.
WE LURV YOU! DORK!

Please be a part of the cure.

What the heck! The picture of the beautiful one is back!!!!!
I swear,Gman, you are right, Argh is still here! That picture was gone this morning. Every place it was, was a little blue box.
Now it is back.

Luv ya Argh! Still a little scared of you, but luv ya just the same!

Well, geez, I didn't even know this thread existed (shows how often this Vol Mod makes it over to EBW.)

So I'll go on-topic and whore myself out for a bit to talk about a charity I'm supporting this weekend and what *you* can do if you want to help (participants are welcome, but I don't expect to get any takers on this one). Anyone in the BTV area who wants to join in, PM me and I'll get you details!

This Saturday, I'll be participating in the annual Penguin Plunge to support Special Olympics Vermont.



Special Olympics Vermont is incorporated as a Vermont non-profit corporation [501(c)(3)]. THey are accredited every two years by Special Olympics, Inc.
and are a volunteer managed collection of community and school based teams from throughout Vermont with the sole purpose of providing sports training and athletic competition to persons with intellectual disabilities, ultimately changing their lives and lives and attitudes of hundreds for volunteers.

For those unfamiliar with the concept of a "Penguin Plunge" it's essentially the same notion as the Polar Bear Club. Groups of semi-sane people decide to take a dip in 33-degree (F, not C) Lake Champlain (after the Coast Guard has chipped the ice away from the 'launching' area.

The Penguin Plunge link above as well as the links in my signature will take you to the site that's managing the online donations for this event.

So far I've raised nearly $1000 for Special Olympics Vermont and the VAST MAJORITY of that has come from fellow forum members here @ *.woot.com in $10 here and $25 there.

That page will stay up until early April, but my goal is to have the majority of donations in by this Friday so we can see how our team did for total fundraising (we're at just over $10,000 now and hope to surpass the $17,000+ we raised last year).

Special Olympics was one of ARGH's charities.
Plus Corrado will post pictures!
What more do you need to give some money???

If I get to $1500, I'll make sure my clothes are ON. :D

That looked extra cold, since we really haven't had winter yet!

Looks like you all had fun!
