What kind of stuff? And what is your time frame?

Sometime in the next few months I will most likely be going to the valley to visit Mom. She lives in Cottage Grove. When that happens, and if you can get your stuff to say, Eugene, and if it's not too big to put in with the camper (if I take the camper), then I might be able to help you out.

I dropped a spotters card on a local guy today, he had just bought a 70's ford F250 4X4. The one thing I failed to put on the card was join the Oregon Chapter, maybe he'll find his way to the Chapter anyway. If the spotter cards are done using a buisness card type format, maybe I can turn the paper over and print Join the Oregon Chapter on the back. I'm thinking about keeping the cards in my vehicles and putting them on wipers when I see a Ford Truck. The guy I gave the card to seemed pretty pleased with the card. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to the top of the page and place your mouse pointer on the forum drop-down. At the bottom of the drop-down is the spotters cardsprint them out and hand them out. The more people the better site and Chapter we have.

I use the spotter cards also. I put my screen name and Member of Oregon Chapter on the back. Works great!

Thanks for the offer I should be going to visit my Grandparent's by mid June.
So it's no rush, it's just bar soap and dish detergent for the community center.
