Chris, glad to see you in. This is an outstanding thread with all kind of good intentions at heart. I hope all remain civil to each other. As far as a charity. It would seem that Tom ( who is donating 3 kits ). The original 3 cue makers ( their materials and time ). Chris and anyone else jumping in ( at their total expense plus time ) should come to a consensus amongst themselves as to a charity(s) to donate. I've got my seat belt buckled and into this for the long ride. Good luck to all and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. Jim
