I like the idea. I hope to be able to contribute. I haven't worked much this year, but that may be changing very soon. Please post again about this, so those of us who can't contribute today have a chance to be reminded again.
I know this is a sensitive issue so I walk carefully in bringing this up....
we discussed this before so it does not get out of hand....
that this be for immediate Cooler Crew ... not to be exclusive in any way....
Do we include ALL family members now? Kathys husbands brother died as well but Bob does not attend hardly any or rare events as does Penny. Eags lost her brother in law ...
although i have to agree with you on keeping it to immediate family of immediate coolerheads, i have to disagree about penny; while not necessarily at everything (who of us is) she's always around.
arguably the first line is an easy one to draw parents, kids, yes. your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. probably not. that last line is the kicker though.
Yup there are others. I think we've almost got enough too. I explicitly remembered to send you a message here mike because I know you don't pay as much attention to facebook.
As a couple of you see on fb ...Chris Diggers dad passed away .....I believe at midnight going on to November 16. I am sorry if I don't recall who else this year may have lost an Immediate family member..... and I believe no one in the Cooler that I recall in 2011..... but I remember buying them last year and they were har d to find and sold out by Christmas. if anyone would like to donate $5 or so for hopefully only 1 Snowflake this year.
I will be in for contributing as well, will send via paypal in the next day or so...I have not connected with diggorius on FB, and had no idea....so sad.
Thanks everyone. I am headed out today to pick them up. I know not everyone has access to ableminds. we have once carried over overage $s to the next year but there wasn't anything left from this last time. This time Is it okay if I put any extra in to a meal for ken and his wife for sometime thIs week? Or is the preference to have leftover to carry to next year -
Here's a nice picture of Ken and David in happier times. I posted a cropped version on Ken's FB page. Was thinking on printing this to add to a photo board if they have it during the visitation. Who else thinks they'll be going to the visitation, viewing or funeral?
Well, I forgot to do the paypal transfer :frown:. Conflicts with work and kids school functions prevent me from getting to either the visitation this evening or the service. I am doing the paypal thing NEXT, so I know it's not forgotten again...wish there were words.
I will post this here - it's been posted on fb and another thread I saw somewhere but both Chris Digger and Ken send their thank yous for the snowflakes.
For those who have not given yet... you can find me at pre-dig - thanks
I can pitch in, but don't know if it would be $45. Let me get back to you in a day or so.

I sent a donation to Ares.
I hope some others did as well. I always thought the snowflakes were a nice thing to do.
Looks like we are close to getting them paid for but not quite - so if anyone still wants to donate - please do.
I'm truly hurting for you Ken. I'm gonna hug my kid extra long today. You are a fun and cool dad. I'm sorry you're going through this shit.
I don't do paypal, so can I mail you a check or meet up with you sometime (maybe at Moose Country if you are going to be there) and give you cash?
If you want me to mail a check, please PM me your address.
Thanks for doing this.
