All...
With the upcoming births within our group, we'd like to propose an idea to all of you.
Chad and Brian (not me) are both pregnant (well, their wives are pregnant). Chad's baby is due about Dec 29. We're presently unsure of Mac's due date.
We propose we take up a collection to purchase two Crickett .22 caliber rifles to present to the guys from the group. Chad's rifle will be stocked in Pink...We'll have to find out if Mac is having a boy or girl before his rifle is purchased.
Purchase price will be about $150 each (rounded to the high side). If there are ten of us doing this buy, we'd each have to kick in $30. Of course, if the price is lower overall, that number will be less. We'll talk to Sue Kempf to get a more exact number tomorrow.
Every child should have a good rifle to learn the shooting sports, and this will save the expectant fathers and their stretched budgets that cost. It will also be a nice story to tell the kids when they're old enough to shoot their rifles for the first time.
What do you all think? Good idea? Bad idea? Comments and suggestions are always more than welcome.
Please keep this email between us and away from Chad and Mac....We'd like it to be a surprise if it goes through.
Thanks,
Jeremy & Angela
