Hey guys I am sure most of you are aware of Joplin MO. Being from MO myself I wanted to do something to help out. I am also a forum member over on 6br and seems to be some intrest over there. Anyone have any advice on a raffle, auction or maybe even a shoot. I would not be able to put a shoot together but maybe someone here has the connections to do so. Please post any input you may have.

Without knowing the difficulties that any of this entails, It would be nice if an account could be set up and guys would donate via Paypal or something like that and then a check be presented to either the Redcross or some other reputable charity that would go toward the relief efforts in MO.

A shoot would be ideal but with hiders being so spread out, how many would actually be able to attend?

A raffle would also be cool but again, the logistics of such things escape me.

Thanks thats where I will send my donations to.

My wife was telling me she watched a interview of a family that was coming home from high school graduation the mother was in a different car and made it home, the father and son that just graduated not far behind and almost made it home but the son was sucked out of the sunroof and has not been seen since. She also said there are about 1200 unaccounted for.

I could not imagine what those people are going thru.
