For our purposes, a Random Act of Kindness (to be referred to as a RAOK) is defined as something nice one PBS member does for another PBS member with NO CREDITS changing hands!  The  idea  is for people to post  items they are willing to send another member FREE of charge or credits (including shipping). This is a great way to make someone's day at the same time that you can declutter your house of things you no longer need/use but weren't  sure you wanted to discard.  NOTE:  Some of us don't remember every member's nickname, so it is helpful to write that by your address label, when you send a RAOK, to make it easier for receiving members to thank you.

The  way to do this,  is to list items to this thread that you are willing to send as RAOKs the way we list damaged books/ARCs/etc. in the Book Bazaar, and make them first come, first serve. When an item has been spoken for, please cross it off or delete it from your post. You might want to show who got it but that's up to you. Just  make sure you update as frequently as possible so that no one is disappointed. Please everyone just use one post each and keep it updated.     NOTE:  Before posting a ROAK, please check this month's *** I Wish thread to see if you are able to fill a members' Wish, first.  This is especially true for Coke codes, boxtops for education, etc.

If you see something you'd like,  PM the member with your address.  To post things you are wishing for, see the *** Monthly I WIsh thread.***  And to keep these threads clean and easy to read, please use the ***Monthly Thank you thread*** to thank people for things you have received.  Always let the members know, either in a PM or Thank You that you rec'd the item so they know it's not lost.

Obviously since RAOKs are free but cost the sender shipping, if you request a RAOK from someone and they aren't able to ship it for a while, please be patient!  Please mark out items as they are taken so other members are not disappointed

I just wanted to let all the people I promised RAOKs to in the past couple of weeks that I haven't forgotten about them! I had a health issue and got distracted, but I should be able to get everything mailed out at the end of this week. :-)

Due to a lack of fund, I have to remove my RAOK list for the moment. Perhaps for the whole month. Sorry! I will post again when my funds return and I can bring my list back.

I have the following. Divided into three envelopes. Just need someone who can use them, since I don't

First...pulls. Easy ups and good nights coupons   TAKEN  

Second is a coupon for advil congestion relief and a coupon for therma care back patches..figured with the cold and flu season maybe someone might find these handy, I will be going thru my coupons, so might have more to add to this category before mailing   TAKEN  

Third is a ton of cat and dog food coupons. Got a lot of them this past Sunday. TAKEN

I have a bunch of left over Valentines from doing my daughter kindergarten class valentines. Tinkerbell and dolpin theme. Dolphin ones are pop ups that have to be put together. Enough for a small class, I put all in a ziploc bag, will mail all to one person.    TAKEN

  Photoshop CS help aid. You put in a folder and it is a laminated fold out that has tips on the program..good for a college student, but this is for the old program. If not taken this month, I will toss.

I cross stitch card kit. Card makes card that says Best wishes with flower border. TAKEN

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Number 8 tin with playing cards. The cards are still wrapped. TAKEN

 Just send me a PM with what you are interested in. Hope you all are staying warm this winter.

Bracelet, it's stretchy green elastic cording, with a green plastic stone and a recycle symbol charm. It would work good on someone with a larger wrist than me!

Iron on patch, of a butterfly with red wings on a clouds background, at it's widest it is 3"

Stencil, it's got upper and lower case letter and all the numbers.

Hair clip, it's very pretty and shaped like a crown with rhinestones in uh, regular and light blue. One fell out so if you can repair or don't care, it's yours.

Minnie Mouse clear folder, it's one of those that folder over and have an elastic band, the elastic is stretched out so you may make do or replace.

ALL TAKEN! Thanks!
