Thank you to everyone for the congradulatory comments, and the posts in my lounge, and minti mails, etc; about winning the promotional email letter thingy for the m$20,000 competition.

I only wrote it because Clay begged for help and I had nothing better to do, and helping when I can with what I can is what I do. I said right from the start that I don't want the mulah, that's not why I was doing it, but Clay had to give it to me anyway.

What to do with that much mulah? Yes I could probably give 133 members a gift each with it, but I said to Clay to donate it to charity or the like, that is exactly what I'm going to do with it. Transfer it to cash and donate it to a charitable organisation.

I'm going to go all out and give everyone else here a chance to contribute to that donation as well. I'll be adding extra of my mulah to it as well. If you want to donate some mulah to add to it, just gift voucher it to me and I'll add it to the collection. If you don't have much mulah and you want to contribute you can always try to earn or buy some. If anyone wants to contribute but hasn't got mulah and hasn't got paypal but does have cash, minti mail me and we can work something out via regular bank accounts or something.

I'll arrange the transfer to be done on 30th May (Friday), so make sure all mulah donations are sent to me by midnight your time on 28th May (Wednesday), that way it'll all definately be in regardless of time zones when I do the transfer.

Now I guess you're all wondering what charity I'm going to be donating it all to. It'll all be going to the Australian arm of BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse). They are relatively new in Australia and already have chapters operational in NSW, SA, WA, ACT, and VIC. I know of one member of Minti who has already been helped with referrals and advice from one of the NSW Chapters.

For those who have never heard of BACA, this is their introductory video (have a box of tissues handy as you may need it, I did):

Please be generous.

Thats great to hear. I've met most of the Adelaide Chapter, and I can say the same for them; and Ron lives not far from the south Sydney mob, so they're scattered around, thats for sure.

Okay Becca, just for you I'll delay it for a while longer. I'll work on an exact date later and edit the blog accordingly. That might also help give others a better chance to contribute as well.

Congrats DA! Unfortunately no moolah in this girls bank but a very touching story. Thanks for the warning of the tissue box and how wonderful that you are donating your winnings to this cause!

Thanks matey. As well as raising money this seems to also be doubling as an awareness thing among minti members which is a bonus, so it's all good.

Congrats on winning! Hope you can raise heaps for this good cause, we have something similar here in Gympie too and I can tell you now, plenty of noise in our street when the bikers go on one of their charity rides! lol. Girls love it!

Bad timing asking for us to contribute though. All our bills arrived at once today!!! ARRRRGGGHHH! lol. Stupid me forgot to pay one last month. If I can manage some in the next few days, I'll let you know.

Hi Da,

CONGRATS on the win . . . You are to be congratulated on donating your win to charity! ! ! ! I will raid my Minti Moolah and donate to this cause too . .. Anything against child abuse is GREAT, being a victim myself as a young child I know only too well just what these organisations are up against . ..

Well done DA . .

Cheers Kellz

Hi DA,

Sorry but I do not have enough moolah to send a voucher. . . So i have spoken to Cazza and we have decided that we will both donate to our local bike chapter as they too do fund raisers for children....

First of all congratulation on the win.

Second, oh my goodness I am totally lost for words about BACA, what can you say about these wonderful people trying to keep kids safe & fearless to there attackers.

Sorry I don't know how to express these feeling I'm having after watching that footage so all I can say is that every penny that I have in my minti mulah is going to be sent to you right now for this wonderful cause.

DA you were so right about the tissues I need the whole box.

Let me know when you get my contribution.

Yes, I have watched that so many times and it still gets the better of me now and then.

They started obviously in the USA, but now they also exist in Australia, the UK, Holland, and I'm sure other parts of Europe and probably Canada as well by now.

If I had a bike and my licence and a chapter nearby, I'd ride with them.

Thanks matey. I'm actually quite surprised by how much has been contributed so far. It just goes to prove that everything I said in that winning article was true. Minti, as a community, is fantastic!!!

You can become a restricted member in that you can ride with them, but you have to have a full member sponsor you and you pillion with that person. So if your partner joined and became accepted as a full member, you could join as well and ride with him. Or at least, that was the rule about that the last I knew.

Congratulations on winning the comp DA. Sorry I dont have enough Moolah to send a voucher, I did check out Bacaaus donation site but thats under construction. As is the UK site. So I have contacted a friend who is a biker in the know, and reassures me he can and will get £20 to Baca UK , his crew http://www.whitworthwarriorsmcc.co.uk/index.html have links and contacts with them. http://www.whitworthwarriorsmcc.co.uk/productssimple1.html . So he will pass that on in your honour. Sorry I dont have pay pal.

Best Wishes. Luv Winnie.xxxx

That's cool. Thanks for adding that.

If anyone wants to contribute but hasn't got mulah and hasn't got paypal but does have cash, minti mail me and we can work something out via regular bank accounts or something.

Ron has kindly volunteered to ride down to the chapter near him and personally hand over the cheque to them from "the parents at minti.com" along with any letters or comments or whatever that anyone wants to contribute. I'll be transferring it to him when it's all done and he'll be using his paypal to withdraw the money, cause I don't have paypal either.
