    Funds Drive for a fellow creeker

    A long standing creeker and a compassionate woodworker, Dennis Peacock, is facing some major long term medical expenses due to a recent development in his family. The health insurance provided by his employer does not cover all expenses and he has to foot a significant portion of these bills out of his pocket. Needless to say other aspects of their life have started to suffer due to the immense financial burden this new development has put on their earnings and any savings.

    Dennis has been a part of this community since its inception, and is always the first one to raise his hand when any other creeker needs help. Although he is a man of great pride and refuses to ask for any help, some of us have talked to him and he has reluctantly agreed to accept whatever SMC can come up with.

    Although the medical expenses will be a long term financial strain they will have to find a way to manage, some of us thought that we should do what we can to "pitch in". Please keep in mind this is an initiative taken upon by a few close friends, Dennis has nothing to do with it. If anyone has any moral or principled objections to this concept I am to blame for it, so please direct you criticisms towards me.

    I am going to keep track of the collections, while Joe Meazle has agreed to help and keep things in line. The status will be posted under this thread.

    You can use my PayPal account at ZRNAQVI_at_yahoo_dot_com, or if you'd like to write a check you can mail it at the address below. Please make sure you email me (at the above email) to let me know you have sent a donation.

    P.S. I have received a few checks made out to Dennis, Please address all checks to Zahid Naqvi or Joe Meazle, we would like to keep all contributions anonymous as far as Dennis is concerned.
