You can send your flies to riverman , or... you can buy what you
would like to have sent to riverman, he


Or, if you'd really like to help:


www.stjude.org- St. Jude's


or


www.msf.org -- Medecins Sans Frontieres


or


www.somethingthatwillreallyhelp.whatever- Roll Yer Own


you don't need an account to shop, but it does save some time to fill
one out the form. Use the above URL in any event, to get started.


Once you have a basket of flies, proceed to checkout, fill in the info
as needed, it's your basic shopping basket stuff...near the end, a
box will show : "Redeem Coupons"...enter the word - school.


The appropriate discount will be taken at checkout and your order
will be flagged for rivermans endeavor only...all of the orders and
their contents so marked, will be sent to him when he asks for them.


If you would rather just send funds, contact me off list and we will
make arrangements. This option has been popular to date.
You can find my email addy is in the above store...

Whoa...let's recap...we've got a guy in HK at a school which can afford
to kit out the class at LL Bean (but their teacher can't figure out how
to label those rods and reels...) and whose parents or school or
whomever can afford to fly those kids for a week of FFing in NZ, and
you're already had several generous donors, but yet, you're asking for
more _donations_ for flies for this group?!


If that about sums it up, let me be as clear as possible:


**** YOU, **** YOUR FLY SUBSIDY, AND **** MYRON


Why don't you try and raise a little coin for kids who might be have
sorta wanted to, oh, I don't know, eaten in the last week or had
received what is, for such fortunates, a pocket-change worth of medicine
(you know, about the retail cost of a fly or two...) that might save
their lives...


Again, if that about sums it up, just so we're clear:


**** YOU, **** YOUR FLY SUBSIDY, AND **** MYRON


Any questions?

...some kids' "wish list" includes stuff like food...with as few flies
as possible...


doesn't the all that froth and foam make the keyboard slippery?- Hide quoted text -

Where do the flys come from? Are you shipping flys from Thailand or
somewhere not far from Hong Kong.

Seems like a waste to ship something halfway around the world and then
back again.
Where's Clark Reid? He was tied up with Umpqua and their Thai and
Kenya tied flies. If thes kids get hooked the Kiwis are going to be
the ones to benifit in the long run.
