My wife and I are very active in the Ouray, Colorado Elks lodge. This weekend we're in charge of the 48th annual Easter Egg Hunt. We've acquired 1200 plastic eggs with candy to fill them, supervised and helped fill the eggs, organized the event, and in about three hours we'll be putting out all those eggs in the town park for the kiddoes. It will take about an hour and a half. When we turn the kids loose at 2 pm (probably about 150 of them), it will take them about 5 minutes to sweep the park absolutely clean. We also give out about 50 stuffed animals. It may not sound big, but we're a small county, only 4500 residents, and the kids love the event.
No stickers, etc for us, we do this all the time. If this sounds like fun, consider contacting your local Elks lodge, there are more than 2000 all over the US, and we are very active in youth events, local people and projects in need, and support of active troops and veterans. Plus, we have a lot of fun socially. It's a great organization.

Dean wins, asked and answered. His post made me smile.
I agree. Dean wins the One Lap stickers. Sara will contact you for your address.
She has some other goodies for the rest of you, so she'll be e-mailing you guys, too.
Thanks for being such good people.
Please send my stickers to tuna55 Jr. It is great to see kids getting interested in cars and he looks like he is really having a great time digging in to that motor!!! tuna55 Jr. would probably enjoy some swag and hopefully stick them on his bike or go cart or on dads toolbox's or what ever Tunn55 Sr. lets him stick them on. (I vote for the fridge in the kitchen ) It will also hopefully continue his liking of cars and what not. And besides what 6 year old does not like stickers!!!
Anyway Like I said please send what ever "winnings" you have to tuna55 Jr.

I was all ready to chastise you guys for giving me the stickers instead of Dean, then I clicked and read the last post.
Thanks Dean. He'll love them. You're a cool dude.
Tuna, I also have big magnetic sheets if Tuna55 Jr would be interested in making one of the stickers into a giant magnet to move from the car to the fridge to the toolbox to the old man's truck. Let me know, I can get it off to you in a flash.

Are you kidding we would never give you any stickers
But Tuna Jr absolutely needs stickers!!!!! I hope he does as my kids did and puts them some place memorable. I still have some batman stickers my son got when he was 6 or 7 that he put strategically on the inside of the front door to our house. I was a tad irritated at first as I had just painted the door. Now 3-4 years later I will not let anyone remove them. Great memories of my son back then. They grow up fast!!!! I will probably mask them the next time I paint the door.
Does Tuna55 Jr. know he is a GRM Rock Star yet???
In reply to dean1484:
Our old washer and dryer went to our cottage. They're covered in stickers that the kids got from teachers in their first years of school. It makes me smile every time I see them.
Sorry to revive a dead thread. I just wanted to say how awesome GRM is. I got three bumper stickers in the mail today. I was super bummed that we drove all the way to Florida from Detroit and didn't make it to the headquarters. I was going to stake the place out and beg you guys to sell me a sticker or two. Instead of Daytona, we took the kids to Cocoa Beach and ruined my plans. Imagine the thrill when I got the mail today.
Again, you guys rock. Thanks.
Same here, found my stickers in the mail and was overwhelmed. I have nothing worthy to place them on !
You guys rock!!
Got my stickers today, thanx GRM!!!
They will be proudly displayed on the rx7, once it's painted...
And running.

Got mine today as well. I doubt any of us performed our various kind acts with any intention of a tangible reward. It's nice to be rewarded none the less.
Thanks!

Tunakid #1 was excited to get them and has been trying to figure out a good place to stick them since he got them.
Thanks!
