Not exactly the same contest as we had a few months ago but still for a great cause.
.....one of our members was recently approached by the mother of a service member stationed in Afghanistan. She's asking if someone could please send some Grizzly to her son. She was immediately emailed and given the "snus talk" and is gratefull that there is a safer alternative to dip and wants us to help convert some servicemen to snus as a safer alternative.
So theres the appeal......Who wants to help out here? If you want to contribute I suppose you can either send me snus or dip or send me a paypal donation and I will get any good deal I can find. If anyone wants to do a paypal thing and they do it quickly I can get free shipping for a short while thru northerner to save even more $, PM me. I'd like to send a shitload.
Ya'll can just ignore this request if you want but I already have already recieved a firm commitment for a bit more than several rolls of snus so lets make this a tad more interesting. I realize that the last time we did this the response was quite overwhelming. Unbelievely, I recieved contributions from other countries and of course the USA, members of Snuson and Gosmokeless, distributors and manufacturers [tho some wished to remain anonymous]. You guys contributed very generously and it was much appreciated. I certainly don't expect the same results as last time. Help out if you can and want to. Keep in mind that these type of appeals are sure to pop up here again and I'm sure some of you good members will want to contribute again. I do realize most of us are on a budget.
I will do pretty much the same deal as the last contest. I will post a list of all the contributors in this post. Each will have a number next to their name. After I get 20 contributors I will run all the numbers thru a random number generator to pick a winner. I will send a full roll of whatever snus the winner wants taken from the contributions. [I'll post a list of snus donated and a list from my stash for the winner to pick from. I will send the winner what he wants and I will take a roll from my stash to replace it, thats if the winner picks a snus from the contributions]. Your odds of winning will always be 1 in 20 or better. Its all up to the members of SnusOn as to how this works out. If we don't have 20 contributors in a week or so we will go ahead a pick a winner from the list.
Anyone interested please pm me for more details or simply paypal as a gift to premiumparrots@comcast.net. I'll make sure your name gets put on the list. Anyone having a problem with this thread or how this is being conducted PM me, do not post your concern here or it will be deleted or moved, an answer may be provided privately thru PM, so this thread remains on topic.
Heres a copy of the mothers original appeal....
Dear x,
I have sent you a request to join my network on linked in. I see that you are already in my network but as a third connection. I am trying to see if you are able to help me with a request. My son is currently in the Army (Infantry) and stationed in Afghanistan and he had send me a list of items that he requested for his care package.
One of his request was Grizzly Wintergreen he said everyone uses it. As his mother, I would prefer that he didn't use tobacco but he has indicated that when his group is on missions, it actually helps them stay alert and awake. Well, that is at least what he tells me...
If possible, would you be able to help these guys out. I would really appreciate it.
If you can send directly to an APO - please send directly to Bryan.
