    I don't even know where to begin all of you great folks.. We are all in pure shock at your donation of $859.12 to FHC! I am going to put our thanks up as it is in the PM! I am just floored….. Not every mod has seen this yet but they will. THANK YOU ALL and merry christmas my friends from all of us!

    Here is the letter we received!

    Dear Scott,
    In spirit of Christmas season, and with the ever-present sense of generosity and giving so often found on this site, your members have “passed the hat” to take up a collection. We hope that you will accept our modest gift in the amount of $859.12

    All of us are grateful for the community you have created and the hard work you and the staff put into it each and every day. Please use this as you see fit, whether to cover operating expenses, to reward yourself and your staff for a job well done, or to invest further in the success of the site.

    Merry Christmas and may God Bless you and your family, and those of the rest of the FHC staff.

    First off, I apologize for the delay in responding I've been at a long awaited family reunion of sorts, just got some time to check my messages
    Secondly, I am absolutely humbled and STUNNED here.......I'm literally in tears....

    I've said from day one how much I appreciate and care for the membership here....it's ABSOLUTELY LIKE FAMILY. We have the best people any forum could ask for. That's the whole reason we started this place.

    And a gift (ANY gift) wasn't necessary, but a gift (ANY gift) is always appreciated. This particular gift is absolutely MIND-BLOWING. And it absolutely should go right back into the site.....

    I love ALL of you guys and gals like family, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

    Wow... That is simply amazing. I am speechless.

    I know where some of the money should go... :D

    To the man who is out all kinds of money right now :thumbs: Swags has done so much for this place financially and to be days before Christmas and him still out of pocket.. That's my personal opinion ;)

    :faint:

    Wow! Thank you! Merry Christmas and God bless!

    If we're gonna put this in the kitty for FHC then Swags is the one to send it to as he is our unofficial "treasurer".

    swags

    Pallet Pete

    Good LORD! I am speechless bro! WOW……:bug: You fellas really didn't need to but well thank you all… Your the best guys.

    You guys are amazing. True Christmas spirit from all of you, I'm in shock. We do what we do here because we love this place as much as you do. And for the members to go that far to say thank you is just awesome. I do t even know what else to say but thank you, thank you, thank you...

    I am honestly floored right now. We dedicated many volunteer hours here because we love you all like family! We do not do this for money all of our sales go to fund the site and yet we still take out of pocket….. And we do it all for you guys to have a place to hang and feel welcomed like brothers and sisters and help others along the way! I am about to cry right now your generosity is overwhelming! Thank you all my friends… You have once again shown the caliber of members we have and why this site helps so many in need. Its what we are all about thank you!

    Thanks to all of you....the donation was an absolute surprise and I cannot begin to tell you all how much we appreciate it, but the TRUE BLESSING is just having the friendships and all the great content you guys give to this place. From DAY 1 all we wanted was an unbiased, fun, family-friendly atmosphere where we ALL could feel at home and not berated or belittled....you guys make that happen everyday. Absolutely mind-blown here. Speechless.

    I send my love and best-wishes to all of you for a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a Joyous, Prosperous, Healthy and Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to the coming year with all of you!! And thank you all again......this money will be reciprocated into the site.......

    Merry Christmas and thank you all for everything you do. Were all glad that we could give back a little bit to help out this place we love.
