DONATIONS TO TES

[Red]

I would just like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The members of TES and Tim thank you as well. Its a team effort to help search for a missing person. Its not just about those that take the time to search but for those who cannot, its also about those who can contribute in other ways. The donations that all of you have made have been a Godsend. We cannot search without logistics and support. All of the food, water and yes "bug spray" has been fantastic.

Thank you Team Monkey for your contributions to the search efforts for Caylee.

THANK YOU ... THANK YOU ... THANK YOU.

Dear Monkeys,

It has been brought to our attention that Orlando LE feels that for everyone's safety all food products served to volunteer searchers much be prepackaged, Therefore, we will not be able to utilize Sysco Company's donation and the food that was not prepackaged has been returned,  ie: bread and lunch meat. We advise any searchers to bring their own sandwiches as only snacks and beverages will be available.

Wow - I feel bad for Des. I do understand LE's stance tho.

I had an idea - since ABC paid the Anthony's maybe they would donate to TES as well? What do yall think?

WARNING:  RANT ALERT!

I was just browsing through the various newspapers online and saw that Bon Jovi has done a fund raising concert for Obama.  I've always hated singers, movie stars, tv personalities getting involved in politics, but this one just pissed me off.  Why don't they do fund raising concerts for organizations like TES, ASPCA, Cancer Society, Make a Wish Foundation, along with thousands of others for people, children and animals that our government won't help.

I haven't been here much, except reading from afar due to work, including yesterday.  I just want to say, how so very proud to be a monkey as I am right now, after 3 years as a member.  I want to WELCOME all the new monkeys who have jumped in, feet first and have done such a phenomenal job in both searching, contributing and donating.

A special Kudo's shoutout to Marlee for all she has done this past week in keeping things as organized as possible, making phone calls and managing the donations.  Being involved in fundraising events in the past, I know from experience how hard of a job she has undertaken and then some!

Though, I do understand LE's concerns,  it is so sad, as that was at least one incentive to get people out and to ensure everybody was fed while taking there own time and hard work for these searches.  But then again,  I don't recall many  LE agencies who have been so involved in conjunction with TES and who have offered money and resources as they have.  So Thank you to them as well.  I am so happy they have embraced TES and are so adamant on finding that baby.  They KNOW the truth, or they wouldn't be putting so much effort and money in finding her.  Keep up the Prayers and know you have all done so much good and will continue to do so, I have NO doubt!

Justice WILL be served.

God Bless You ALL!

Could someone please call Destiny and ask her to come back?  We need her!  She has worked so hard on both Caylee and Natalee's case.  What happened with Sysco was no fault of hers...she did what no one else could and we are going to need her again no doubt.  I'm not very good with words but there is a reason her name is 'Destiny'.
