Om - Family donation

[MM 6,562]

Some people have expressed an interest in helping Om's family.

 

I have a Paypal account where you can send anything you want to give to the family. I will convert the money to Thai Baht at the current exchange rate and give it to her family at the funeral, or if the any funds arrive after the funeral, I will have them transferred to the family up to 1 week after this Monday.

 

If you do send anything, please indicate your board handle on the transfer so I can track your funds if there are questions.

 

You can sign up to use Paypal easily at the Paypal Website.

 

Once signed up, choose SEND MONEY and send to Recipient's Email martin@flbbar.com

Donation sent via PayPal. Thanks for the opportunity to contribute.

Om was a very special person, most of all I’ll never forget her contagious smile.

Sincerest condolences to her family and friends.

Thanks to the many members who have contributed a total of close to 50,000B.

[MM 6,562]

We've reached 57K baht with contributions. Since we are leaving early tomorrow morning for the funeral, I am going to request that no more donations be made via Paypal. At this point, I don't know how to send additional funds to the family, and I'd hate to be sitting on money and not know what to do with it.

If it turns out that the family has a bank account, and if any one wants to donate at the bar, there might be a collection jar for a while.

But, as of now, Paypal donations to Om's family will be turned off.

Thanks to all who contributed. I can only match their handle with the contribution if they gave it to me in the Paypal transaction..so some folks will remain anonymous, since I don't know the handle that sent the donation.

 

But here are the folks who reached into their pockets to help someone they don't know in their time of need:

I hope you are able to extend paypal donations.

 

My Paypal account was empty so I transfered money into the account, but, it takes 3 business days or so for it to go through.

 

There may be other board members who want to contribute but have not yet been able to.

 

Thanks,
