Kevin thanks for asking - i am pretty good! Went to STT, got my IRB taken care of for my PT license and for my flyer done for the island guest babysitting service and several villa management companies want them!! GOT A CAR today as well! I negotiated it and everything !! Bessie will be leaving soon!!! Thanks for asking. Hope to see you soon - had a wonderful time with you guys!!! Xoxo
I would do that! How did he distribute them? If Ruth would distribute, I would love to make a donation to the shelter... do that any way! People could stop buy pick them up ( along with their grill rub etc. :D ) and we could have them for June!

Cool deal on the car! You go girl! Did you get it on STT? What kind? ... million questions, I know! :lol:

The way we distributed them was we put them out on our table and posted something on the board. People knew to come to the table- they got their glow band and an intro! We didn't charge anything at the time but I could talk to Ruth about it. Usually at my $1 store at home, you can get a pack of 2-3 - if they were too small for some guys wrists people become imaginative - thrust belt loops, button holes, tied onto bathing suits, stuck in hat. They glow so people look at them no matter if on a wrist or somewhere else!

I got the Jeep Wrangler 2 dr hardtop 5000 miles from someone who lives part time on St John but it was being babysat in STT ( so his rental villa parking spaces
Wouldn't be taken up by his cars!

I tried floating the VIOL logo wristband idea a couple of years ago and I still think it would work. I have the shirt and the beach bag, but I would like something I can wear during 8 Tuff (tee shirt too heavy), on the beach, or out to dinner.

I would wear a wristband (or a few!) all the time if it would help me meet forumites. I know I missed a bunch of forumites at 8 Tuff this year and last year. My flights are booked for next year and I'd gladly sport a wristband!

Also, I'd gladly pay extra if part of it was a donation to the ACC. Ruth are you up for selling them?

Oh, I'm more than happy to use a secret password but I'm too out of breath during the race. :)

Thank you Ron for helping with this, if there is anything I can do to help stateside let me know (send me a PM). We won't be down until August but I'm hoping to meet some forumites because I'm wearing a cool bracelet!!
