miwsParticipantHey everyone, here’s our latest list, (some of it ongoing needs):
Men’s and women’s pant,s shirts shoes, underwear.
Kid’s stuff, one nice item to have for the kid’s would be a swingset, or something similar that we could put on the “back 40” to help them work off their energy. Right now they are running around in the common area and near the tents, so there is a concern about them hurting themselves on a tent pole or something, or crashing into a tent, hurting themselves/damaging the tent.
Tents; 8X8, 8X10, and family size. I couldn’t pinpoint actual dimensions for family size, but the guy I talked to mentioned it would depend on the size of any given family that may move in.
Tarps.
Hand sanitizer; individual size that people can carry on themselves.
Mrs. Munchkin22 has an updated list on clothing/shoe needs and sizes for the one family that is currently there.
Thanks!

angelescrestParticipantCould you set up a net? Badminton? Volleyball?

ghar72ParticipantAre you all thinking of putting in a veggie garden? I have seeds I could donate if you are.
June 19, 2011 at 9:56 pm #727023
miwsParticipantangelescrest, I’ll ask the guy that suggested the swingset. I’m not sure how much space (yeah, I know there’s a lot! ;-) ) could be dedicated, but I don’t think a badminton set-up would take up too much.
ghar72, We have a garden underway!
I’m sure that our Gardenmaster Ion (pronounce Yon) would be thrilled at any seed, (and perhaps container, since we can’t dig in the area), donations.
Thanks!

JanSParticipantmike..consider this suggestion for gardening. If you can get donations for some old dresser drawers, they can be used as raised beds. They can be lined up in an orderly fashion, filled with dirt, planted with seeds or plants, labelled, with maybe a different crop in each drawer..and..voila..a garden.
June 20, 2011 at 2:14 am #727026
angelescrestParticipantGreat idea on the dresser drawers, Jan. I’d be careful of anything toxic on them/or line’em with something less toxic.
Does someone have an old net hanging around? I have two extra raquets and perhaps a volleyball.

charlabobParticipantHey MIWS (and others) — do you have clear plastic storage boxes (with lids) or some other way to keep books and puzzles dry? Mike and Zack are doing some work for me tomorrow and I have some wood and other things that may help with garden beds.
JoB, they’ll be here most of the day, if you want to stop by and consult about gahening possiblities.
Thanks!

miwsParticipantJan, I like that dresser drawer idea! I’ll mention it to Ion.
Charla, the storage boxes would be very welcome, not only for the kids stuff, but for general camp usage.

JanSParticipantI suppose you could line dresser drawers with gardening plastic to keep moisture in and rot (and other less palatable stuff) out :)

celeste17ParticipantI have found a gently used swingset on Craig’s List for 90.00 its in Normandy Park. Is this to much to pay? Is anyone interested in contributing to getting this swingset? I am almost out of money (been on unemployment for a while) and don’t start back to work until July 5th. Let me know.

JoBParticipantceleste..
when i first read your post i thought that i am doing all i can and i can’t afford to fund a swingset too…
but funietoo showed me how wrong i am.
i’ll kick in $10.00 too.
if we can find 5 more people willing to kick in $10..
or 10 more people willing to kick in $5..
those kids can have a swingset.
if not this one.. then another.
25 people publicly contributed to the pot luck last sunday.
who knows how many others did so silently.
the power of cyber connections can be powerful indeed..
you know where to find me too :)
June 20, 2011 at 5:17 pm #727033
celeste17ParticipantI’ll kick in 10.00 so that is 30.00. I hope we can do this fast. I would like to have this spoken for soon as I know this lady is going to be moving and can’t take this with her.
June 20, 2011 at 5:57 pm #727034
charlabobParticipant$10 from the cb/katsky crew. You know where to find me and you especially know where to find JoB who knows where to find me ;-)
June 20, 2011 at 6:28 pm #727035
funkietooParticipantCeleste, ‘Whine’ has kicked in $20.00
https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/now-the-mom-who-had-the-kittens-is-dead/page/2
Think we are up to $60.00. Might want to call/email the folks with the playset…thinking $90.00 will be hit before the end the day.
Thanks for leading this effort.
June 20, 2011 at 6:52 pm #727036
sam-cParticipantplease count another $20 (from me) for the swing set. hopefully it is still available and there will be assistance / room to get it installed.
June 20, 2011 at 7:27 pm #727037
celeste17ParticipantHI all, thank you for all your support. I have emailed the person saying that I have the money and what days and times work for her to pick up the swing set. As soon as I hear back from her I will post and let you know so we can arrange pick up and drop off at Nicklesville.
June 20, 2011 at 7:33 pm #727038
miwsParticipantJune 20, 2011 at 7:57 pm #727039
celeste17ParticipantI heard back from the swing set lady and we can pick up any night after 6:30 or try to make a weekend happen.
my email is celestine18 at comcast.net. If someone wants to email me we can coordinate.
June 21, 2011 at 1:08 am #727040
JoBParticipantceleste..
if she will wait till the weekend i can use the truck to pick it up.
i am guessing i can also get nickelsville bodies to disassemble and load.

celeste17ParticipantHi all, I have commitments for 80.00 of the 90.00 that I need. I have been in contact with the seller and I have asked if we can pick up on Saturday. Thank You all for your help in getting this done for Nicklesville.
June 21, 2011 at 4:21 pm #727042
lindaParticipantI’ll kick in the last $10. I can be reached at L_C_turner at hotmail dot com.
Is there room to set up a croquet set?
June 21, 2011 at 5:02 pm #727043
charlabobParticipantJo, we forgot to transfer my 10 dollars (to you.) If you’re going to have the truck Saturday maybe I can arrange transfer TO NV of some stuff that was too big for my car yesterday.
AND — stay tuned; I’m on the track of a really hot donation that falls under the category “fun.”
June 21, 2011 at 6:22 pm #727044
miwsParticipantlinda, yes, we should currently have enough room for a croquet set. (another great idea!)

*Eagerly waiting…….* ;-)
