Custom Hearse Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I got an e-mail from the president of the 4 States Modelers Club about the Joplin tornado, and the kids who are affected by it. He is asking if anyone would like to help out the kids. Here is his e-mail: hello all, AS you all know Joplin was hit HARD by an EF-5 Tornado last Sunday. i have been there every day since. taking part in rescue,recovery, and just about everything else. ITS BAD FOLKS. I have also seen the collection centers of all the homeless people and all the kids effected by this. so that got me to thinking (i know ohhhh boy) but i just may have a good idea, but it will take all of you to pull this off. The kids stuck in the collection centers have no outlets for normalcy(if that's a word). why not give them one with a model make and take? we can go set up in a tent or something and donate our kits and time? what a way to give back as to spend and afternoon give these kids some time to enjoy being a kid again. SO I'M ASKING FOR ANY KITS YOU CAN GIVE AND ANY TIME YOU CAN SPARE. I STILL NEED TO PASS THIS THROUGH AMERICARE TO GET A PLACE TO DO IT. but i cant think of anything more exciting than this. what do you all think. feedback with information is very much needed to get this rolling so the sooner the better. again i know what A GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE WE HAVE IN THE THIS so let show our support and get this rolling. I'm going to call the model companies tomorrow and Kalmbach publishing and anyone I can think of. please feel free to do the same. THANKS EVERYONE. Rick Edens If you would like to help, here is the e-mail address of the club: 4.state.modelersclub@live.com Thank you for your time...

Custom Hearse Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 You're welcome Rick. It's gotta be hard to be a kid and watch everything you own disappear within minutes. They need to try and get a life back...
Custom Hearse Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Thank you to Christopher Smith for his e-mail to the club. Anyone else want to help?
