Matt:  I'll take the Strange Tales but more importantly I want to thank you for doing this.

Sounds great, just pm me your shipping address!

It was my pleasure running this thread, and barring some unforeseen disabling of my typing fingers, I'm 100% committed to doing it again next December

With two books down, @SkOw & @wombat, if you would please coordinate with each other on the Frazetta book.

Rather than respond to each PM individually, I will post a mass acknowledgment here to everyone who has sent funds so far -- this is my confirmation that they have been received 

Since I am only waiting on receipt of one more pledged donation, I went ahead and advanced the remaining total so that our donation to Best Friends could be sent right away.

That means...all funds pledged have been sent out!!  Receipts are posted on page 1, and I will add any thank you emails that are subsequently received.

I can't say it enough -- this was amazing.  Thank you once again to everyone who contributed, and I'm hoping we can have an even bigger year next December!!!
 

Oh, and @jaybuck43 - I'm winning our next gentleman's bet

Right on.

I enjoyed looking at everyone’s kids. 

When we are at our worst, they still love us unconditionally.

Matt, thank you for doing this... it’s great to see how well this did.

Sincerely,

Jon

Just received the last donation amount, so we officially put all the money together and had it out to the shelters within three hours of thread closing.

And one more look at little miss as we watch this dogmess of an SNF performance by Pittsburgh.

The GCFA usually sends an email thank you within a day or two, and I will post that here as well once received.

Thank you email received on 12/20:
