ZMom, you are wonderful to take so much time out to do this. So much more giving this year that wouldn't have happened if not for your wonderful idea! Take your pats on the back ok? And what a great response from TVCHer's! I am proud to call this my home away from home!

Thanks Zmom...this is great. Sea left me a message in my folder, I'm so glad I have people looking out for me here as I forget to sometimes to check threads. Off to find Luvmom....

Okay...luvmom doesn't have a folder so if anyone sees her can you tell her I'm looking for her? I need to know what I should give for her.

How do we do this exactly? Do we use screen names, real names? Do we put details in the real mail, email, member folder? I looked through the archives of this thread but I still don't get it. Help! I seem to be instruction impaired! Or something that we probably shouldn't name. And there isn't a charity to help with people like me I am a lost cause.....did I say that outloud? It's only Monday and my brain is already fried. It is only Monday....right?? I guess I could have posted this in "Random Thoughts" but I don't have any.....

lol Big...you and me both on the lost cause....that's a good question since we may get some very odd looks using screen names when making the contributions.

Just sign me lost and confused.

lol Big and Lost! You 2 are so cute. I put a message in Amchess's folder, because I drew her name. Now that she has emailed me, I know her name and will donate money, with a notation that it is being donated in her honor. If donating time, services or items, I guess you would just tell the donee who you are doing it for. The special part is the giving itself, of course, and letting the person know what you did in their name. santa

I like Tabbyking's message in Melfie's folder and how she sent it.
This is how she worded it:

Message: This gift is on behalf/request of someone whose name was drawn for me on a community board. Several of us decided to give to a charity important to the person who was given our name. I only know my person as 'Melfie' on the community board, but this is where she asked for her 'Christmas gift' to be sent. I am happy to do so!

I don't have my email listed in my profile for fear of spam, but I do have a message folder in the members area.
I think you need to go looking for your giftee, and then get a hold of them in one of those two ways. (If you email them try putting TVCH in your subject line, so it stands out to the person.) After that, leave each other ideas on what/how to give, etc.
As for the real names versus screennames etc. I think that would best be decided by the people involved.

I was thinking once everyone gets together maybe we could come back and post our final gifts here so everyone can see, what do you guys think? Unless of course it's too personal.

PS.. I wonder if the MODS can post the chart at the top of the thread so it doesn't get archived??

MGA, I also would like to see what causes everyone gave to. It can give us all ideas for worthy causes or ways to give that we may not have known about, or thought of, before. We don't need to post specific money amounts. Anyone can choose not to post their gift if it's too personal for them. santa

And if your person has no member folder, scroll down to the bottom of the list and make one for them :)

( I am putting my receiver's TVCH name and this website address on the gift labels, just to see if this idea comes full circle and we get another lurker! With permission of my receiver, of course.)

What about if the person you drew is missing? I drew Jhonise,and left a message in her folder days ago,but haven't heard anything. And,I don't have her email. How long should I wait? Maybe if someone else is in the same boat,we can trade names?

hippy, if you don't hear from your person within a certain amount of time, you might donate to something you care about and leave her a note about where the gift in her name went. just a suggestion!

i donated to a spokane, washington 'crisis nursery' that melfie told me about. (which was perfect for me after being a preschool teacher and an e.m.t and chairing a grand jury health and welfare committee, which included children's protective services investigations; i knew it was going to something i really care about, too: children!:)) it wasn't practical to mail formula or baby food, due to postal costs; instead i used my paypal account to send a monetary donation. i couldn't afford to send a lot, but i figured 25 actual dollars would be better than being able to send one box of supplies, with postage costing more than what was inside!
