I know for sure the planet has pitched in and sent me great items that I sent to a unit in Iraq last year....several members gave and gave great stuff.

This time of year, I'm all about coats, hats, mittens and boots/shoes.....last week, at work I heard of 2 infants/toddler brought to a daycare with no coats....and it was below zero windchill.

If the planet found a local need for those items, I'd think a combined effort would do wonders.

If some trustworthy planeteer stepped forward, I'd be all for finding an elementary school in the KC area...pitching in as a group, having that person purchase gift cards to donate to the counselor/principal anonymously, or in the name of Chiefsplanet and in honor of Lamar Hunt......that counselor would select a family or two in their school and purchase coats et al for them. That would be a great thing......

I guess taking a hint from a link to the Dallas newspaper that Bob Dole posted in one of the threads, we could start a group that could be named The 37 Foundation in honor of Joe Delany and Lamar Hunt (37 was the number he wore). We could find 37 guys who would commit time and effort to spearhead charitable donations that would be administered in KC by a trustworthy planeteer.

Just a though to ponder.....
