Operation Dice Drop: But Wait, There's More!

20 pounds, 11 oz. of rattling Stuff, from the very generous Ancient Wonders, is winging its way to troops. The Loot was Substantial, and worthy, so make sure to thank them, and the other Dice Depots!

If you have Loot of your own, it MUST mail TOMORROW to make it there, and it MUST go Express Mail. Other services will not make it there in time.

A filled out example of the customs form is below, for your convenience.

HONOR ROLL: Donors to Operation Dice Drop

Several Grrl Gamers of Portland, who donated fabric, assembled to sew dice bags, packaged dice sets, and contributed many, many books, games, dice and minatures.

Benefactress No. 1, Ixias, who sent, via Paypal, $50. That allowed us to pay for 2/3 of the freight cost for the Grrl Gamer and the Rainy Day Games donations of RPG books.

Benefactor No. 2, OSFCI, the non-profit operator of Orycon and GameStorm. OSFCI who provided $300. That bought two more cartons of RPG books, several bags of dice, and nearly paid for all the freight to ship the books.

Benefactor No. 3, Michael Mallon of Houston, TX, PayPal'd a net donation of $96.20, which covers the remainder of shipments One through Five and will help pay for shipment Nine - ? when we close out the Dice Depots and pack their Loot.

Benefactress No. 4, Antonia Cabal, of Milwaukie, gave a check for $10, which helped cover shipments Six and Seven.
