a personal thank you to owen olson for yet another very generous donation to the oaf coats for kids fund.

it ironic that a couple weeks ago i ordered two identical
green fall coats for two wheel chair bound handicaped young men that have been coming to our weigh offs for several years now.

im having them personalized with sngpg and oaf embroidery plus there names etc, as appropriate
they will be presented the jackets at our weigh off

its people like owen and others who have helped that make this possible

i know there will be many elementary school children in need that again this fall will get winter coats and hats because of people like this

bless you all

the fund has already purchased school clothing for several very needy children. will purchase as many coats as money allows ---- possibly 30 and up.
will have a big 50/50 raffle at our weigh off. at present i have over four hundred in the kitty.

Clumsy oafs were often told to just stand there, people start throwing there coats, scarfs on them...(bad joke) Orange Angel Foundation (I think)

I know I ruffle Owen's feathers now and then, but he has with out question one of the biggest hearts on this site for helping people out.
