Here's how we'll operate...

EDIT:  After talking with Jake on the VN forum, we decided he'd rather plan the painting on VN and use this site exclusively for donations.  Fine with me.  I don't care.  So ... here are the rules...

  1. Jake or another volunteer will start a new post on VN asking for volunteers to paint the rock.  The link for the VN rock thread - http://www.volnation.com/forum/pub/153090-rock.html. 
  2. I will solicit donors and steer people to this blog site.  I'll create a post here with the date of the painting.  I'll define a set amount required to fund each rock painting.  Jake estimates $30 -- we'll use that number for now.  If we find out it's higher or lower, I can adjust later.
  3. Donors will contribute money for that particular rock painting via my PayPal account.  I'll keep PayPal information posted under my profile here.  Donors can send money using a debit/credit card or their PayPal account.
  4. Jake or another volunteer will update the VN rock thread with status reports on gathering volunteers ... I'll update this blog site for donors.  As soon as we have enough donations for that event, I'll tell everybody to stop sending money.
  5. Jake or another volunteer will give me a list of supplies required for the painting.  I will purchase the supplies and meet a volunteer to give them their stuff (time and place will be discussed).
  6. The volunteers will take pictures of the completed rock and post them on this website and VolNation.com.
  7. We land the next 5 star recruit!
Let's try it this way and see how it works.  Again, I'll fund the next one.  I'd like to get a better feel for how much it costs.

    Jake, I need your e-mail address so I can include you as a 'poster' for this blog. That's how you'll get your message out. :)

    As we add other volunteers that need to post, I'll gather their e-mail addresses.

    My email is akatate@aol.com. I'll post a list of supplies on here later today. I gotta draw something up and get an idea. I'm gonna have a friend or my wife meet you to get the supplies. Probably tomorrow night, is a day long enough notice? Btw, thanks for getting the supplies, it helps a lot. I'm out of town again this week but I will be back Friday evening, that's when I plan to paint.

    Normally a day is plenty of notice. I have a lot going on this week, though, and I'm gone the entire weekend. If we can get this done tomorrow night, that would be great for me.

    I'll add your name/e-mail to the lost of approved bloggers for this site.

    I'll wait for your list and meeting instructions...

    FYI ... I edited the instructions on this blog to steer people to VN for planning purposes per your instructions. This site will be used for donations and VN will still be used for planning.
