Needless to say, both LISTA and us at Motorhead Extraordinaire are excited about the support from the Garage Journal members. Nothing like stepping up to the plate when our friends need help.

To help sweeten up this beautiful vintage cabinet, we are going to add in drawer partition/divider kits as well as a bunch of plastic parts boxes. This will help the winning bidder get totally organized.

Thank you for supporting our friends in Oklahoma,
Joe

As a family we have sent over $2300 down. No it won't make anybody rich but it goes to what they need.

No need really for me to get involved.

I've been to many, many of the natural disasters that have occurred in this country in the past 30+ years, including Moore, OK two separate times (tornado) The groups that I almost always see are the American Red Cross and the Baptist Men. Either of these would be a good causes as well.

Whatever donation you choose to make, please do your research to see how much truely goes to those in need. I just got home from scout camp in Colorado where we were evacuated from camp on Wednesday due to the fires and the Red Cross got us cots and blankets and a place to sleep as well as a place to finish up the merit badges we could and the Salvation Army got us plenty of food and water/gatorade to keep us hydrated. Also a local BBQ place fed us hot meals and locals showed up with fresh fruit.

 

[Kidasters]

OK - with my very first post on Garage Journal - I'll bid $1400. I don't have room for it, but it's pretty, and it's for a good cause.

 

[Motorhead Extraordinaire]

To honor all of the Oklahoma fathers who watch over our children, we're going to add in another $200 donation on top of the winning bid.

Happy Fathers Day

How about a last minute bump for this great cause. You have less than 2 hours to bid on this beautiful LISTA cabinet for our Oklahoma fund raiser.

If anyone has last minute questions feel free to post them or PM me.

Thanks for all of the great support.

 

[Kidasters]

Joe - sent you a PM, but can't find it in my sent items. Please let me know if you got it.

Thanks,

Ken

Very exciting. I'll have to get cleaning this weekend in order to make room.

Congratulations to Kidasters (Ken) for placing his winning, and very generous, bid on the classic LISTA cabinet.

Along with his winning bid of $1400, we are kicking in another $200 donation, and Ryan is kicking in $200 towards the shipping.

We thank everyone for their bids, words of encouragement, and caring for our friends in Oklahoma.

Joe Germann

Thanks for doing this guys. I live a few mile from the devastation and it is still hard to find words when driving by. Reminds you to be thankful and humble to have your family and friends around. I know a few people directly affected and they are in great spirits and would say thank you to anyone for prayers or who helps out.

Very sincerely, C.
