Envelopes MUST be postmarked by tomorrow Sat 12/16. Anything after that will be returned.
Simply put... because the organizers stated it.Sweet Marissa said:Just curious, but why the deadline?
Williebetmore said:To play, however, requires an advance contribution – send your money to Timberly (I’ll post her address below). We will accept player’s donations until mid-December, NOT AFTERWARDS, NOT AT THE VENUE. All of our expenses are UP FRONT, and no one wants to chase down pool players at the venue – we are not accountants, we are pool fans and players. If you want to play, you MUST send in your donation by mid-December.
Sounds good to me! Thanks, and mine will be mailed this weekend!Timberly said:Simply put... because the organizers stated it.
Not so simply.... Last yr WBM collected the money and numerous people promised to pay when they got there. He either ended up chasing most of them down for the money or simply didn't get any money at all. Not to mention that he has a family and a job and he was dealing with all of this during the holidays... time better spent with family and enjoying the season IMO.
I told him that I would accept the money this yr and the three of us agreed that there would be a deadline and all money would be paid up front before the holidays.
Christmas is rapidly approaching and I've got a lot that I need to do in my personal life to get ready for it. I've donated my time & energy to this room for the last 7 months between the raffle and collecting the room money. I'm no longer going to answer emails and PM's that ask me the very things that are posted in the sticky thread and I'm not going to collect anymore money. I'm going to focus on the holidays, enjoy the holidays, and then enjoy the private room at the DCC that I've spent the better half of the last yr fundraising & supporting to help ensure that it happens.
Hence the deadline.
People have had months to get their money in. If there's anyone that doesn't agree with the deadline... all I've got to say is A) You should've paid better attention to what was posted in the thread about it and B) Someone else is more than welcome to volunteer to collect the money through the holidays, at the last minute, and chase people down at the venue next yr if they want to.

To tell you the truth, I have seen her at work and it is sickening. I was going to go to the DCC this year, however, not with her running anything. I wouldn't go if Timberly was handing out towels in the mens room. I know this ain't gonna make me very popular with those who's azz she is constantly kissing. I just can't take it anymore. If you don't want to do it, don't volunteer for it!! Just stop bit@hing about it.

WOW, this is really interesting to say the least. I've never been anything but nice to you and up until this point, you were always nice to me. I find your observation of me at the open just as interesting. I pretty much split my time between hanging out with Sally at the picnic table or watching tournament matches.Purdman said:Actually it is because you folks allowed her to be involved in the first place.

Since you have no problem making statements such as "Her true colors come out when there is a poolplayers azz to kiss or she has some power. To tell you the truth, I have seen her at work and it is sickening", then I'm sure you'll have no problem providing examples of this?
FWIW, you're welcome for the pics of you and John that I took at the Open and emailed to you and you're welcome for my always being nice to you. Have yourself a Merry Christmas.
Hal said:I've been involved in activities where I had to keep track of money and chase people down for the cash etc. I tell ya what, it aint easy. Your comments really suprised me Don. I'm shocked.
So that no one here misunderstands.... I had my own ticket to the Open. You sent me a PM saying that someone had bought VIP tickets and couldn't make it and you asked if I wanted to use them. (note to self.. never delete another PM w/o saving it on my computer first) IPurdman said:You were thanked for the pic gal, however, you never said thanks for the $200 ticket you were provided (so you could post results) nor did you have a word to say to me until John won. My only problem is this, if you are going to volenteer for something, just do it and stop complaining. You act like the whole DCC is run around you. I hope you have a great holiday.

Timberly said:... I think speaking up about it at deadline time is within reason.
I have nothing else to say in regards to his post but in regards to your post... Because he posted his opinion in a public thread, he left it open to both criticism and praise. Some will agree with him and some will not. Anyone that has any feelings about it either way shouldn't be chastised for sharing their thoughts on it because he posted it in an open, public thread. JMOSweet Marissa said:I think Don is allowed to speak his opinion without being attacked for it.
Anyway, the only person who should be addressing his post is Timberly.
